ALIENS: MORE THAN HUMAN
A group of wildcat planetary prospectors plant their flag on a distant new world, rich in land,
resources . . .and the greatest archaeological discovery in history, an ancient complex of
impossible proportions carved deep within the living rock, a mind-numbing labyrinth of passages,
ramps, bridges, and galleries that seems to extend limitlessly. But as the exploration of the
leviathan dead city proceeds deeper and deeper, the members of the team slowly begin to lose
their grip on reality, and madness gives way to fear as the explorers begin to disappear. Something
else lives within the necropolis, a faceless horror as deadly and merciless as space itself, a lethal
terror that has waited centuries to awake — and destroy!

HELLSING VOLUME 10
One of the best things about Kohta Hirano's sexy apocalypse of warring vampires, Nazis,
Catholics, werewolves, and Australian mercenaries is that all the way up to, and possibly through
this final volume, we don't know who's going to win. The streets of London are awash in blood, a
zeppelin descends à la Hindenburg, and six of our favorite characters are locked in face-off fights.
It's possible that no one will come away from this crescendo "alive." Of course, we're not sure
who's alive or undead at this point. But what's most certain is that London needs babies, because
there isn't a civilian soul left alive in this battle to the undeath. Alas, Hellsing, we knew you well.

beautiful girl whose picture they find inside... a picture taken more than forty years ago! Plus your

PREDATOR: PREY TO THE HEAVENS
The world's attention is focused painfully on a brutal third-world civil war, a merciless sectarian
conflict sparing neither soldier nor civilian, grandmother nor child. But amidst the terror and
carnage, where great nations and powerful interests jockey for position and advantage, another
blood feud rages in the shadows, one no more humane, but decidedly less human. Two warring
tribes from the stars have chosen Earth's killing fields as their arena, with each clan sworn to
eradicate the other — and all who stand between them! Each is the other's prey, each the other's
Predator.
The hunt resumes as Dark Horse Books unleashes Predator once again into the graphic-fiction
jungle. Features the creative team of writer John Arcudi (Aliens, B.P.R.D., Doom Patrol) and

ARCHIE: THE BEST OF DAN DECARLO
VOLUME 1
• Dan DeCarlo was the dean of Archie artists. Aside from Bob Montana, no single artist is
more associated with the teenagers of Riverdale High. Beginning his career at Archie in the
mid 1950s, DeCarlo soon became the main artist on Betty and Veronica, and drew every
character at one time or another in his nearly 50-year career with Archie. Dan DeCarlo was
also the first artist ever to draw Josie and Sabrina, establishing the visual looks of these two
long-running and fondly remembered characters.
• Reproduced from the original art to ensure the highest possible quality reproduction, the
stories in this collection are from what is generally regarded as one of DeCarlo's best periods
— the mid 1950s to the early 1970s. Each story was handpicked by DeCarlo connoisseurs'
and has been re-colored to match the flavor of how it was originally published.

mostly in shadows. ... Final word: A killer spy thriller."— Dan Lennard,People Magazine

his rich character work and complex narrative is nothing short of genius." — Jesse Alexander

CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT CHRONICLES
• Anderson Lake is a company man, AgriGen's Calorie Man in Thailand. Under cover as a
factory manager, Anderson combs Bangkok's street markets in search of foodstuffs thought
to be extinct, hoping to reap the bounty of history's lost calories. There, he encounters
Emiko. Emiko is the Windup Girl, a strange and beautiful creature. One of the New People,
Emiko is not human; instead, she is an engineered being, creche-grown and programmed to
satisfy the decadent whims of a Kyoto businessman, but now abandoned to the streets of
Bangkok. Regarded as soulless beings by some, devils by others, New People are slaves,
soldiers, and toys of the rich in a chilling near future in which calorie companies rule the
world, the oil age has passed, and the side effects of bio-engineered plagues run rampant
across the globe.
• What Happens when calories become currency? What happens when bio-terrorism becomes
a tool for corporate profits, when said bio-terrorism's genetic drift forces mankind to the
cusp of post-human evolution? In The Windup Girl, award-winning author Paolo Bacigalupi
returns to the world of "The Calorie Man" (Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award-winner,
Hugo Award nominee, 2006) and "Yellow Card Man" (Hugo Award nominee, 2007) in
order to address these poignant questions.

• Remember the werewolves of classic stories and films, those bloodthirsty monsters that
transformed under the full moon, reminding us of the terrible nature that lives within all of
us? Today's werewolves are much more suave — and even sexy — and they've moved from
British moors to New York City lofts, shaved, and got jobs. But as the tales of these writers
will show you, they remain no less wild and passionate, and they still tug at the part of our
being where a wild animal used to be.
• Running With the Pack includes stories from Carrie Vaughn, Laura Anne Gilman, and C.E.
Murphy, and they will convince you that despite their gentrification, werewolves remain as

• The rustic folk of Blackbeach have kept their cursed heritage secret for thousands of years —
they are pureblooded scions of Lost Azlant, the sunken continent across the western sea,

underwater entity. A local sorcerer trying to cure his people has awakened a terrible evil,
locked away in a nearby Azlanti ruin for thousands of years. Now the villagers are rapidly
devolving into fishlike monsters and hearing a telepathic call they cannot refuse. Can the
heroes save the villagers and stop the ancient abomination before it escapes to avenge itself?
