Hurricane Sandy! The Fiscal Cliff! With 2012 coming to a tumultuous close, DBD looks optimistically ahead into 2013, ripe with promise and potential. Dark Horse champions the cause in heroic fashion with epic offerings from proven chart-busters including Avatar: The Last Airbender — The Promise Library Edition, Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Volume 1, and The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia, while dipping into the comics industry talent pool of legendary and up-and-coming luminaries like Brian Wood’s The Massive, Will Eisner’s Fagin the Jew, and Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima’s groundbreaking, graphic-fiction masterpiece, Lone Wolf and Cub Omnibus. Continuing the winning trend, IDW takes stock in tried-and-true licenses with Doctor Who Series 3 Volume 1, The Lone Ranger Volume 1 Omnibus, and Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom.

Abrahams’ blockbuster Star Trek movie re-launch, and tap into the magic of My Little Pony Volume 1! Image Comics swings the pendulum towards the Apocalyptic with the ultimate confrontation between man’s all-consuming need to conquer and the supreme power of the Divine Spirit in Krishna: A Journey Within. Meanwhile, it’s survival of the fittest in Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead Volume 18, and get Happy! in Grant Morrison’s psychedelic twilight world of casual murder, soulless sex, eczema, and betrayal. Hope springs eternal as Ape Entertainment takes us on an engaging stroll down Sesame Street in I is for Imagination, Oni Press and Bryan Lee O’Malley fight the good fight as the utterly astounding republication of the Scott Pilgrim epic continues, and Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill revisit the Victorian milieu of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as Jules Verne meets H.P.

JAN - JUNE 2013 • San Antonio, 1976: Eric Layton, desperate for cash, left college behind to dive into the world of pro-wrestling. From there, it was an easy slide into the underbelly of the rasslin’ biz, where the box office and concession stand make for an easy way to launder drug money. When Eric is pinched by the police and forced to flip on his boys, he’s stuck between the cops and the crooks — and the idea that he’ll escape with his life is looking less realistic than a pro-wrestling match. • 1970’s Wrestling scene meets a brutally organized mob mentality. KEY SELLING POINTS: FLEE • Rigby Pinkerton was your average bug exterminator stuck in a dead end job and living with his plastic surgery addicted mom. But, when two warring alien races crash land in his backyard and a new sexy neighbor moves in next door, Rigby has no other choice but to step up and be the hero he never knew he was. With the help of a lone alien warrior and his wisecracking robot, Rigby is the only one that stands to save three worlds from galactic doom — whether he knows it or not! Get ready for an Alien invasion unlike anything you’ve expected. Prepare to FLEE! SPIRIT WINDOW • In post-Katrina New Orleans, everything seems to be getting back on track. For former Detective Jake Rubio, the tragedy brought a new career as a shoe shiner on Bourbon Street and a prosthetic hand, replacing the limb lost in the anarchy of Katrina. One thing that hasn’t changed are Jake’s memories of an unsolved murder. When a larger mystery surfaces tied to the death of a local fortune teller, Jake will need the help of an ageold inter-dimensional hitman service well known to locals as the Spirit Window. Who better to track down the person responsible than the spirit of the victim herself?

Not slapstick, not too-clever sarcasm, just honest humor.” — Johanna Draper Carlson, Comics Worth Reading “Though the undead cowboy made for an interesting story, what really sealed it for me was the dialogue. It is so well-written, believable, endearing, and amusing that it’s hard not to love Doug and Bat. Whether it’s Doug correcting Bat’s grammar or keeping him from swearing, or the sass of the Delancey gang boss, the characters are the best thing about The Grave Doug Freshley.” — The Quarter Bin WHERE’S MY SHOGGOTH? • A young boy wants to take his pet shoggoth for a walk — but, oh no!

But with the touch of a button, the door of the case lifts, accompanied by lights and Star Wars sound effects. The secrets within are revealed — the Book of Sith slides into view. The Sith have existed in the galaxy for centuries, lurking, waiting for their chance to seize control. As various Sith Lords emerged and rose to power, they recorded their thoughts, exploits, and plots for Sith control of the galaxy. When they fell, their knowledge vanished with them forever. Or so it seemed. Over the years, these writings were passed among numerous Sith and Jedi, who added their comments to the pages. In his quest for domination, Darth Sidious tracked down what remained of five pivotal Sith texts written by his most powerful predecessors. Then, drawing on the knowledge within the compiled pages, he wrote a sixth text — his own manifesto. Together, these documents, along with several collected objects associated with them, shed light on the philosophy, achievements, and failures of the Sith Order. For years, this collection remained hidden, existing as legend only. But now all who are tempted may unlock the Book of Sith and delve into the dark side. From the creators of The Jedi Path, in collaboration with Lucasfilm, Book of Sith reveals the mystery and madness of the dark side — while introducing new characters, history, as well as sinister insights into what it means to be a Sith Master.

This feline femme fatale has remained relatively obscure over the years, but she always returns to give horror-action fans something scary (and a little sexy) to sink their fangs into. This new story presents Pantha as the last living avatar of the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet. Commanded by Ra to walk the earth for all eternity as atonement for Sekhmet’s transgressions in life, Pantha seeks out evil in all its guises. With the power to transform from a beautiful woman into a feral panther, this is one super-heroine who is much more than just a pretty face. Pantha also wields the Scarab of Atum-Ra; forged from the ancient god’s tears, this amulet is an object of great power that many forces would kill to possess. The Scarab can destroy cities, corrupt souls, and open doorways to other dimensions. Writer Brandon Jerwa and artist Pow Rodrix clearly enjoy playing with these characters, delivering a pulpy, Roger Corman-esque adventure that brings all the necessary action, intrigue, and characterization that comic readers crave…without forgetting that comics can be fun, too.

By the end of the decade Sidney Smith’s The Gumps had secured a huge and loyal audience with a decade of melodrama, adventure, mystery, and comedy. So devoted were his readers, in fact, that they regularly wrote in to offer advice for his characters’ love lives and business decisions and they generally treated the characters as friends and family members. In 1928-29, with the launching of what would be his most famous story, “The Saga of Mary Gold,” Smith’s relationship to his readers would be tested as never before. Its heartbreaking conclusion would change comics forever. Here for the first time since the story made headlines across America in the spring of 1929, IDW reprints the saga that Hogan’s Alley magazine called “One of the Ten Biggest Events in Comics History” — a tale that has lost none of its power to captivate readers in the 21st Century.

Why? Because each page boasted sticky, uncomfortable truths drenched in bleakly familiar humor. It was “cringe comedy” before the phrase had been coined, presaging squirmy shows like Louie and Girls. Set in a New York so real you can practically smell it (so claimed Mike Mignola), Minimum Wage is the workaday saga of cartoonist Rob Hoffman and his firebrand girlfriend, Sylvia. He churns out strips for smut rags and off-brand MAD knockoffs and she languishes managing a hair salon. With their colorful crew of friends, they forge ahead against the brutal indifference of their hometown.

Illustrator by day, surrealist by night, Dr. Seuss created a body of little-known work that he called his “Midnight Paintings.” For sixty years, this work allowed Geisel to expand his artistic boundaries outside the confines of commercial influences and deadlines. The book exuberantly juxtaposes Geisel’s “Midnight Paintings” with his best -loved children’s books. Though he fiercely protected his “Midnight Paintings” from criticism during his lifetime, his intention all along was for these works to be seen when he was gone. This comprehensive look at the art that he created over his lifetime, along with four frame-able prints, is an eye-opening peek behind the public persona into the real story of the man who was Dr. Seuss.

JAN - JUNE 2013 on how the individual copes with it. Anything is possible: people breed dogs with humans to create a servant class; beneath one great city lies another city, running it surreptitiously; an employee finds that her hair has been stolen by someone intent on getting her job; strange fish fall from trees and birds talk too much; a boy tries to figure out what he can get when the Rapture leaves good stuff behind. Everything is familiar; everything is different. Behind it all, is there some strange kind of design or merely just the chance to adapt? In Heuler’s stories, characters cope with the strange without thinking it’s strange, sometimes invested in what’s going on, sometimes trapped by it, but always finding their own way in.
