Over the last few years, Gillen's work has gained a massive following from titles like Uber, The Wicked and the Divine, and Iron Man. Now he takes you to Mercury, a slow turning planet where you can outrun the sunrise along with the blistering heat it brings. This is the new frontier of space, where humanity's insatiable need for energy is being fueled by Mercury. It's a tough environment and it attracts a rough crowd. So Luiza is bringing her own heat as a cop on Mercury, since she's just a bit too intense to be one on Earth. Mercury Heat introduces the sci-fi world of the future where individuals are identified by genetic markers and personality types to fill roles in society, the troublemakers end up on Mercury. Luiza wanted to help people, she wanted with all her heart to be a police officer. But the automated Grapevine system had other plans for her. There are only a few legal options for someone branded with her neuroprofile. As an adult Luiza's dream came true - just on Mercury where she enforces laws with extreme prejudice as a bounty agent in a world of hard-as-nails miners and cyborgs. This volume collects issues #1 – 6 of the ongoing Mercury Heat comic book series.

This new volume delivers powerful stories that illustrate the horror and humanity within the violence and misery. In this vital tome are two stories written by Ennis and illustrated by Thomas Aria including: Our Wild Geese Go: "T'was England bade our wild geese go, that small nations would be free..." In the Second World War, any Irishman wanting to fight the Nazis had to join the British army- the Republic of Ireland having declared neutrality when the war began. Now, a small unit of Irish soldiers join the advance into Germany- where the going is rough and the enemy nowhere near surrender. And old tensions remain from Ireland's own struggle for independence, as well as the bloody civil war that followed. The Tokyo Club: How do you join The Tokyo Club? Simple. You climb into your single seat, single engine fighter- loaded with fuel and ammunition- and fly 700 miles across the open Pacific until you reach the mainland of Japan. There you fight off any enemy aircraft attempting to hit the American bombers you're escorting to their targets. Still alive? Now comes the fun part. You fly another 700 miles back home to your airstrip on Iwo Jima, fuel running lower and lower, nothing but ocean for miles around. Any battle damage you've suffered will reduce your chances even further. Make it back and you're in the club. And more good news: you get to do it all again tomorrow. This volume collects War Stories #10 - 15 of the ongoing comic book series.

Dieter Lumpen is a man of the world, an adventurer who wants no part of adventure. Nonetheless, he is swept along to exotic locations from Turkey to the Caribbean, from China to Venice. He is not quite so hard-boiled as the typical adventure hero. As written by Zentner, Dieter’s irony is gentler, more subtle, more reflective, and more tongue-in-cheek than hard or bitter. Pellejero is quite simply one of Europe’s top comics artists, who was chosen for the plum job to illustrate the new adventures of Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese. Dieter Lumpen began in 1981 and continued until 1994. This definitive omnibus collects all eight short stories and the three graphic novels with a foreword by Tim Sale.

While Forever's romance with the Morray Lazarus, Joacquim, continues to blossom, she finds herself not only questioning her identity, but also her loyalty to her Family and her father, Malcolm, when orders her to kill her brother, Jonah. Next, in "Poison," the world is at war, and Family Carlyle is struggling to defend itself. With Malcolm Carlyle hovering at death's door, the siblings struggle to maintain control. But deception and war go hand in hand, culminating in a final revelation that will truly change everything for Forever Carlyle. PLUS!

Mermin is just your average Merman from the underwater kingdom of Mer, and all he wants is to have fun adventures on land with his new human friends. But with the whole ocean out looking for him, it's going to be harder than he thought! KEY SELLING POINTS: "When a strange fish-boy washes up at the beach, Pete, his friend Toby, and Toby’s big sister, Claire, aren’t sure what to make of him. But soon Mer, the Merman from Mermin, is living with Pete—and on the run from his mysterious and watery past. Mer’s confusion about human life is amusing, as are Toby’s parents’ and teacher’s reactions to Mer’s appearance. Weisner’s art is bright and modern. The action scenes and (literal) “fish out of water” story line will appeal to superhero fans in particular. Unfortunately, readers may be frustrated by the lack of answers to the many questions raised and the unresolved ending, which waters down an otherwise strong tale. Give this to Lunch Lady or Dragonbreath fans while they wait for the next installment of those series. The fish-boy and his human friends are a likable crew, so hopefully fans can spend some more time with them in future adventures. Grades 3-6. " --Snow Wildsmith - BOOKLIST "The story progresses nicely and logically if you think of Mermin like a new kid in the neighbourhood and he’s trying to fit in. Sure he’s not human but he’s still a kid and just wants to fit in and have fun. The illustrations are cute but expressive. They convey the right kinds of emotions and sense of movement. At times, it’s like reading a newspaper comic-strip but one of the good ones. Is it Right for Kids? Sure is. this is an all ages book that will entertain kids and will also be enjoyable for adults that read it. I would recommend it for kids 10 and under.

Then you'll love Renée… the artist's sleek line wells up into the middle of the pure white page, unbound by boxes or balloons, and leaves no one - neither character nor reader - unstained." -- Le Monde "With detailed hatching reminiscent of Hieronymus Bosch, Ludovic Debeurme crafts fantastical and poignant scenes, exploring the ordinary monstrosity of man and his anxieties… Debeurme has invented a unique poetry here, with intelligence and grace." -- Les InRocks "With tremendous graphic freedom, Debeurme depicts people who are trapped… wrapped up in the mystery of their internal drama." -- Livres Hebdo "Despite a plot that could have been risky, Renée's triple-voiced narrative is beautifully constructed, and proves Debeurme's enduring talent for breaking the traditional boundaries of comics. Simply excellent." -- Citrouille / Association of Booksellers for Youth SELECTED PREVIOUS VOLUMES: • Lucille (ISBN-13 978-1-60309-073-5, $29.95) ISBN-13: 978-1-60309-304-0 Price: $29.95 ($39.99 CAN) Publisher: Top Shelf Productions Writer: Ludovic Debeurme Artist: Ludovic Debeurme Size: 6.5 x 8.75 Page Count: 544 Format: Softcover, Black & White Series: 2 volumes Recommended Age: Mature Readers (ages 16 and up) Genre: Graphic Novel Literary Ship Date: 2/2/2016 THE JEKYLL ISLAND CHRONICLES (BOOK ONE): A MACHINE AGE WAR At the beginning of the 1900s, 1/6th of the world’s wealth vacationed in and around the tiny Georgia island of Jekyll. Captains of Industry like Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Morgan, and Carnegie all called the Jekyll area home. Using this place of grandeur and elegance as a backdrop, an alternate history is explored between the World Wars. A time of great social, political, and technological upheaval. A time of ingenuity and anarchy. A time for some of the most brilliant, and horrible, minds of the 20th century to confront each other. And a time of great new heroes and fantastic new machines. The Jekyll Island Chronicles: A Machine Age War is the first in a series of graphic novels. Part historical fact, part clockwork, and part diesel punk, they span an age of furious advancement in machine technology while exploring the span of man’s soul – whether evil or good.

Laboring uncredited on Superman for two decades (1948-1968), he co-created Supergirl, Brainiac, and the Legion of Super-Heroes, drawing those characters’ first appearances, and illustrating the initial comics story to feature Kryptonite. He was called upon to help maintain the DC Comics house-style by redrawing other artists’ Superman heads, most notoriously on Jack Kirby’s Jimmy Olsen series, much to his chagrin. His career even included working on classic daily and Sunday newspaper strips like Nancy, Joe Palooka, Batman, and others. With a foreword by Paul Levitz, this book (by Eddy Zeno, author of Curt Swan: A Life In Comics) was completed just weeks before Al’s recent passing. In these pages, the artist remembers both his struggles and triumphs in the world of comics, cartooning and beyond. A near-century of insights shared by Al, his family, and contemporaries Allen Bellman, Nick Cardy, Joe Giella, and Carmine Infantino—along with successors Jon Bogdanove, Jerry Ordway, and Mark Waid—paint a layered portrait of Plastino’s life and career. And a wealth of illustrations show just how influential a figure he is in the history of comics. KEY SELLING POINTS: Al Plastino co-created Supergirl, Brainiac, and the Legion of Super-Heroes.
