Sales for the format continue to increase, and to help retailers keep the trend going, we’ve assembled a treasure trove of great graphic novels to appeal to all of your customers. Building on their successes in 2014 are IDW Publishing, whose Skylanders: Legendary follows up their hit digest-sized kids’ graphic novel based on the massively popular video game/toy line. The company also resurrects Chris Ryall and Ashley Wood’s apocalyptic opus with the Zombies vs Robots Omnibus, casts light on the cultural significance on The Untold History of Black Comic Books, and brings New York’s most unique heroes together in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Ghostbusters crossover. Image Comics looks to do for demonic possession what they did for the zombie apocalypse with Outcast by Kirkman & Azaceta, the debut of a new series written by The Walking Dead’s creator (with a TV series already in production). Kick-Ass scribe Mark Millar teams with superstar artist Frank Quitely for a new take on superheroes in Jupiter’s Legacy, while the hit webcomic that could possibly be the next 50 Shades of Grey comes to print in Sunstone. Action Lab Entertainment offers kids fun with the Soft Spots Activity Book, based on the hit toy line. Garth Ennis, creator of bestselling titles Preacher and The Boys, turns his talents to horror in space in Avatar Press’ Caliban, while more grounded horror comes in Black Mask Studio’s 12 Reasons to Die, based on the album by Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah. And, Dynamite Entertainment goes In Search of Lost Dragons in a visually brilliant exploration of French author and illustrator Elian Black’Mor’s wondrous fantasy world. Mike and Sully, Buzz and Woody, and Lightning and Mater take the spotlight in Joe Books’ Disney / Pixar Omnibus Volume 1, while the most epic love story of them all comes to its thrilling (and eye-catching!) conclusion in Oni Press’ Scott Pilgrim Color Hardcover Volume 6. Plus, Top Shelf Productions makes history again with March Book Two, continuing the autobiographic/historic series from Civil Rights leader Rep. John Lewis. Udon Entertainment continues their literary adaptations with new volumes in their Manga Classics line: Jane Austen’s Emma, Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, and Nathanial Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter. And, Zenescope Entertainment brings the witches back once again with Charmed Season 10, based on the fan-favorite TV show. 2015 is set to be a great year for graphic novel fans, and retailers will find a surfeit of selections to satisfy their comic-loving customers.

Never before have images of such stark terror been captured and conveyed unflinchingly by master horror storytellers and illustrators than in the miserable, bloody pages of Crossed.

No one sees Wheezy, the fat asthmatic kid, hiding up in the old tower — but if he shows his face it will only be the farmer’s wife between him and a bloody fate. The problem is, she’s Crossed, too! Such jolly larks! And newcomer Justin Jordan tells his first diabolical tale as two women attempt to escape the band of monsters out for their blood. When a mysterious, unseen Samaritan helps them escape to a sanctuary, it seems as though they’ve found what little safety there is in the new world order.

I hope that’s what you’ll get out of it. Ennis had a great imagination for covers and I always looked forward to what he’d suggest next. In the beginning, I was coming up with numerous sketches and ideas to present, but as we went on, the covers became a real collaboration and he always had a good idea. Some of these sketches (sometimes it would take more than one) are presented here so you can see the evolution of the process. Revisiting the world of The Boys by creating a new cover for this project only seemed appropriate, like spending time with some not-so-friendly old friends.” KEY SELLING POINTS: • Darick Robertson is an American artist best known for his work as a comic book illustrator.

While we are working within the long and storied tradition of Shadow adventures, I think we’re also doing something original with this character, and that’s always a great combination. (Colton Worley’s) art is stunning, and a perfect fit for our neo-pulp tone. This story is dark and moody, which I think a Shadow story should be, but I think we’re also portraying a very human and fallible version of the man behind the mask. Fans who have followed The Shadow in comics over the years are going to be very interested to see how we run with what’s come before this.” Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment ISBN: 1-60690-562-7 ISBN-13: 978-1-60690-562-3 Price: $19.99 (CAN: $22.99, £14.99) Release Date: 1/20/2015 KEY SELLING POINTS: • David Liss has written comic books for Marvel and Dynamite, including Black Panther, Mystery Men, The Spider, and The Shadow Now.

While on patrol, an elven Beastmaster named Lithann rushes to the aid of a fellow elf being attacked by strange beasts she’s never seen before…but she is too late. When the creatures disappear underground with her friend, Lithann descends into the darkness with her loyal fox, Wiley, to save him. There she meets an outcast dwarf named Digur, who may hold the key to her survival, and a mysterious Sortilege elf named Inesta, who has secrets of his own. Creator Commentary by Will McDermott: “Nature of the Beast is not your average Hero’s Journey tale. This is the story about the other guys — the loners and the outcasts, the guards and the stewards, the folks who normally stay behind when the adventure starts — the forgotten characters. It is a journey not toward the light, but into the darkness, both literal and figurative, where these characters must face their foibles and fears, their painful pasts and their lonely lives. It is a story about how true heroes are born, not through trial by fire, but by forging friendships that help them discover their own inner strength.” Writer: Will McDermott Artist: Craig Spearing Format: Softcover, Black & White Size: 6.25 x 9.25 Page Count: 152 Recommended Age: Mature Readers (ages 16 and up) Genre: Fantasy, Action/Adventure Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment ISBN: 1-60690-573-2 ISBN-13: 978-1-60690-573-9 Price: $12.99 (CAN: $14.99, £9.99) Release Date: 2/10/2015 KEY SELLING POINTS: • The Mage Wars game system has been praised by the gaming community.

The Slammers would later be resurrected as a Marvel graphic novel, and then a miniseries. Simonson describes it thus: “Once upon a time, there was a race of men who could out-shoot, out-fight, and out-kill anybody. They were paid fabulous sums to act as mercenaries. The practice became so lucrative, they decided to go into business. They became the most successful businessmen in history, and they called themselves…The Star Slammers!” The collected Star Slammers also features-published here for the very first time-Simonson’s earliest version of the Slammers created for his college thesis at the Rhode Island School of Design. These stories predate his first professional comics work but strongly show the artist’s keen sense of composition and design.

New characters include the gamecock queen Miss Egghead, Cuban secret serviceman Wunbrow, the tragic Headache, and bizarre Popsie and her mother. Throw in a wacko named Pantsy, a cross-country chase after a million dollars of hidden heist loot, Tracy left for dead on a deserted island, a couple more million in slot machine coins, and a throwback to the 1940s in the Mole-lookalike named Rhodent, and it’s clear that Chester Gould is definitely not resting on his laurels. Included are all strips from December 15, 1957 through July 11, 1959.

The red-garbed orphan sees that petty politicians and their underworld companions can deprive a small town of freedom just as easily as can foreign spies, and that a big city can be home to a larger and even more dangerous threat to national security. To Annie’s initial joy, “Daddy” Warbucks comes home from war, but this time it’s not to be with his beloved adopted daughter, but…to die. With “Daddy” gone, Annie ends up terrorized by the wretchedly evil Mrs. Bleating-Hart, who robs Annie of her liberty in a very real and personal way. Volume 11 of The Complete Little Orphan Annie reprints all daily and Sunday strips from August 8, 1943 to April 14, 1945, in the darkest hours before the dawn.

The artist chosen was less wellknown — at this point, Alex Raymond was merely an uncredited assistant on Tim Tyler’s Luck and the humor strip Blondie — but 1934 was the turning point in Raymond’s career. From that cold January forward, Alex Raymond would become as famous as Hammett, thanks to his Sunday comics double-header, Flash Gordon and Jungle Jim. The Secret Agent X-9 strip was a dailies-only serial. This volume collects the complete Hammett/Raymond strips, plus the subsequent stories by Raymond and Leslie Charteris, famous himself for “The Saint” novels, as well as the Charteris stories drawn by Charles Flanders. Included are strips from January 22, 1934 through October 31, 1936.

He rocketed to fame working on Will Eisner’s The Spirit newspaper strip and became one of the most talented artists working for EC Comics during the 1950s. Wood also became a star of EC’s satire comic, Mad, which went on to even greater success as a magazine, allowing the artist to apply his amazing talents in a broader spectrum. When the comic’s industry fell on lean times during the mid 1950s, Wood segued into the field of science fiction pulp illustration, providing over 200 beautiful drawings and several color cover paintings for the digest magazines, particularly Galaxy. Wood left behind a legacy of great art, much of which has never been reprinted. This book will feature them all. Long time Wally Wood historian Roger Hill has spent the past twenty years pulling together the history of Wood’s involvement with the pulp digests and tracking down original art for this project.

Drug dealers. Cops. For two brothers-of-circumstance navigating the violent streets of this industrial wasteland, every urban tribe is a potential threat. Yet it is amongst the denizens of these unforgiving alleys, dangerous squat houses, and underground nightclubs that the brothers — and the small street tribe to which they belong — forge the bonds that will see them through senseless minor cruelties, the slow and constant grind of poverty, and savage boot culture violence. Format: Trade Paperback, Black & White Size: 6 x 9 Page Count: 250 Recommended Age: Mature Readers (ages 16 and up) Genre: Crime, Drama Friendship. Understanding. Affinity. For two brothers, these fragile ties are the only hope they have for salvation in the wake of a mutual girlfriend’s suicide, an event so devastating that it drives one to seek solace far from his steel city roots, and the other to a tragic — yet miraculous — transformation, a heartbreaking metamorphosis from poet and musician to street prophet, emerging from a self-imposed cocoon an urban shaman, mad-eyed shaper of (t)ruthless reality.

It is a work that author James Morrow dubbed “postmodern punk,” a term that befits Baillie’s poetry-as-street-prose style. AGAINST A DARKENING SKY Writer: Lauren B. Davis A new novel from one of Canada’s most acclaimed and celebrated writers, Against a Darkening Sky is set in 7th-century Northumbria and follows Wilona, a seeress and healer whose life and way of being in the world are threatened by the coming of Christianity; and Egan, a young monk from Eire whose visions may have brought him to Christ, but whose experience of the sacred puts him at odds with the Roman church. Full of magic and mystery, Lauren B. Davis’s new work explores what happens when one’s experience and beliefs clash with those of the people in power.

When a string of bombings paralyzes the city, religious fanatics are initially suspected, but startling clues point to a far more ominous perpetrator. If Murtag doesn’t get things sorted out, the Divine Council will dispatch The Quints, aka: Heaven’s Own Bagmen. The clock is ticking towards doomsday for the Chosen of New Bethlehem.

You’d think the fact she can talk to the dead would make it easier to figure out who’s slicing up the creeps at Rosewood Academy. But it turns out some people are even more dangerous dead than alive. All clues lead back to Adam — the highly tempting fugitive she’s been hiding in a coffin. But her best friend Gabriel’s got some twisted secrets of his own, and if you cross some lines there’s just no coming back. Was the guy with the wicked grin really framed for murder?

By the time Paul is sixteen, they are inseparable. Robots, of course, have a personality leeway that gives each one a certain individuality within its pattered capacities — and Rex had a wonderful personality, with a logic quotient that allowed him to reason. But when the Simpson family is ordered back to Earth and Paul refuses to part with Rex, the robot plans to stow away on a spaceship to Earth — no easy feat, even for a robot with Rex’s abilities.

PATHFINDER ADVENTURE PATH: GIANTSLAYER PART 2 THE HILL GIANT’S PLEDGE The marauding orcs have been defeated, but great danger remains — the hill giant chieftain Grenseldek did not recover the treasures of the tomb beneath the besieged town of Trunau, and she will never rest until she has made them her own. Now, the heroes must travel by riverboat through the orc-hold of Belkzen to the abandoned border fort that the giant has claimed as her lair and put a stop to the threat at its source! A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 4th-level characters, The Hill Giant’s Pledge continues the Giantslayer Adventure Path.

PATHFINDER ADVENTURE PATH: GIANTSLAYER PART 3 FORGE OF THE GIANT GOD The heroes explore the tomb of a legendary giantslayer before venturing into the Mindspin Mountains in search of the valley where the Storm Tyrant is recruiting giants for his army. The adventurers must confront the numerous giants inhabiting the winding valley before making their way to the giant headquarters, an ancient temple to the giant god Minderhal, which contains a powerful artifact. But the valley of the giants is just a recruiting station, and the Storm Tyrant’s stone giant representative has been sending the most promising recruits to a training camp deeper in the mountains. A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 7th-level characters, Forge of the Giant God continues the Giantslayer Adventure Path, an epic campaign of classic sword & sorcery thrills. Several new monsters, details of the faith of the giant god Minderhal, a gazetteer of the Mindspin Mountains, and the next installment of the Pathfinder’s Journal written by Greg A. Vaughan round out this volume of the Pathfinder Adventure Path.

PATHFINDER ROLEPLAYING GAME: PATHFINDER UNCHAINED Break your chains! The Pathfinder RPG contains numerous rules considered sacred by players and GMs alike. Since the system itself was based upon RPG “technology” already more than 10 years old at the time of its creation, “backwards compatibility” often meant sticking with the familiar, even if tradition was filled with cobwebs and decades-old assumptions. Pathfinder Unchained dares to take a fresh look at the system itself, altering some of the fundamentals of the game and giving fresh optional takes on classic rules. Inside this hardcover collection of alternate rules and options you’ll find completely redesigned versions of the barbarian, monk, rogue, and summoner classes. Delve into a new system for resolving player actions designed to speed play and dispel confusion. Many of the new systems (such as the revised classes) work seamlessly with the existing Pathfinder rules. Even the most staunchly traditionalist player will appreciate the book’s math-lite system for on-the-fly monster creation and the new system for generating dynamic magic items that go far beyond a simple +1 to add lore and interest to the campaign. Players will love the book’s new resource pool for martial characters, allowing for exciting new tactical options, as well as the robust new system that allows spellcasters to modify their spells with powerful spell components.
