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!
Dark Horse Books heralds the return to graphic fiction of the
heavyweight champion of modern science-fiction/horror,
Aliens! Features the top-flight creative team of writer John
Arcudi (The Mask, B.P.R.D., Doom Patrol), penciller Zach

Since its debut in 2005, Avatar: The Last Airbender has
remained one of Nickelodeon’s most talked about and highestrated animated series to date, and it’s not too hard to see why

executed, a stunning masterpiece of animated storytelling that

China, Japan, India, and the Inuit.

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.

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.

Alien Legion Omnibus Volume 1
(ISBN 1-59582-394-8)
The Alien Legion is the most feared fighting force in the
Galarchy — and Nomad Squad is the best, and the
worst, of the lot. Comprised of the outcasts, dregs, and
idealists from three galaxies, the expendable grunts of
Nomad jump into a series of intense missions prompted
by everything from attacks by biomechanical religious
zealots, orders to eliminate a traitorous legion hero, and
the personal whims of a Galarchy bureaucrat. The
squad is devastated when three veteran legionnaires die
— and another faces an even worse fate in a legion
“Mindrobber” machine. Nomad’s chemistry is further
altered with the addition of Tamara, a cosmic valkyrie
who catches Lt. Montroc’s attention.
Long live the Legion! The longest-running creatorowned series in Marvel Comics’ 1980s Epic Comics
line, Alien Legion set the bar for military science-fiction
in comics. Featuring work by Alan Zelenetz, Larry
Stroman, Frank Cirocco, Randy Emberlin, and Terry
Austin, Alien Legion Omnibus Volume 2 features over
three hundred story pages and rounds out the first Alien
Legion series, including the long-out-of-print A Grey

ALIENS: FAST TRACK TO HEAVEN
Deep beneath the ice of Jupiter’s moon Europa, life
teems in the depths of dark oceans fed by belching,
chemical-rich volcanic vents. But more spectacular discoveries of life elsewhere in the cosmos have left
Europa little more than another commercial stopover
with an orbital station and a decaying space elevator
ferrying cargo and personnel to and from the moon. But
when one of the massive elevators stops midway with
no communication from the crew aboard, a rescue team
soon discovers that the stranded elevator is transporting
a deadly cargo from another world, a savage organism
that threatens life on Europa and, ultimately, life on
planet Earth.
From superstar creator Liam Sharp comes Aliens: Fast
Track to Heaven, an all-new, deluxe-format hardcover
graphic novella. Sharp’s stunning visuals are well
known to comics readers from his work on Judge
Dredd, The Incredible Hulk, Testament, Gears of War,
and many others, and now, having expanded into prose

The conclusion of the best-selling Chobits saga! In a
world where people rely on computers to escape loneliness, the logical conclusion is the persocom — attractive robot companions that are becoming everyone’s
boyfriend and girlfriend. Chi is a persocom, but she is
also one of the legendary “Chobits,” experimental persocoms built to acquire full awareness and emotion. As
Hideki and his friends search for the abducted Chi, others are watching them — others who know who built
Chi, and why, and what went terribly wrong. It is
already known that the affectionate persocom can, in
fact, be quite dangerous... but the real danger is what the
soul of this new machine means for the future of the
human heart. Because it was never the computers who
were weak, it was the people who made them, and if
Hideki wants to truly save Chi, he needs the courage to
truly love her!

Volume 18
(ISBN 1-59582-382-4)
Conan, once a wandering thief, tries his luck as a professional warrior, joining Amalric’s mercenary forces to
live as a rank-and-file soldier. However, something
much more than luck will lead Conan on a collision
course with the strongest, strangest army he’s ever
faced! Princess Yasmela — the city of Khoraja’s
remaining sovereign — has been haunted by terrifying
apparitions of the wizard Natohk, and when Natohk
threatens to bring his demonic hordes to Khoraja,
Yasmela prays to the god Mitra for help. Mitra actually
responds and tells her to place the fate of her entire
kingdom into the hands of the first man she meets out in
the city streets — and that man is a drunk, hesitant barbarian! Conan may turn out to be Khoraja’s best hope
for survival, but his distrust of the soft upper classes and
their disdain for his common station may derail any
possibility of working together to halt Natohk’s bid for
world domination.
Timothy Truman adapts Robert E. Howard’s powerful
“Black Colossus” short story and sets Conan off on what
will be his bloodiest battle yet, when the mercenaries of
Amalric clash with the massive powers of Natohk!

Brody hoped it was just a hallucination. But no, the
teenaged ghostly girl who’d come face to face with him
in the middle of a busy city street was all too real. And
now she was back, telling him she needed his help in
hunting down a dangerous killer, and that he must
undergo training from the spirit of a centuries-old samurai to unlock his hidden supernatural powers. Thirteentime Eisner nominee Mark Crilley joins Dark Horse to
launch his most original and action-packed saga to date

Collecting all of the Conan and Conan the Cimmerian
comic-book collaborations between acclaimed storyteller Timothy Truman (Scout, Grimjack, Jonah Hex)
and veteran artist Paul Lee (Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
Spider-Man), Conan: The Spear and Other Stories is a
tribute to Robert E. Howard’s tenacious King Conan.
Beleaguered by attempts at his crown and sickened by
political maneuverings, Conan is the sort of king who
takes matters into his own bloody hands. Truman and
Lee’s “They Shall Be Lords Again” and “Silent to the
Sea” — from Conan issues #35 and #36 — work together as a sequel to “The Phoenix on the Sword,” a beloved
Howard story. “The Tale of the Head,” from Conan #40,
immediately follows Howard’s “The Scarlet Citadel”
and pits Conan head-on against the powers of evil wizard Thoth-Amon. In “The Sorrows of Akivasha,” Lee
fully paints and Truman fleshes out the sad plight of a
seductive, centuries-old vampire from Robert E.
Howard’s only Conan novel, The Hour of the Dragon.
This collection also includes the Truman/Lee Conan
short from the Free Comic Book Day 2006 Special, a
Paul Lee sketchbook section, and colors on most stories
by Eisner Award-winner Dave Stewart. Brutal battles on
Pictish soil, scheming sorcerers, false prophets, a lustfilled vampire, and a little bit of humor — this is an
excellent introduction to Dark Horse’s Conan universe
for both entirely new fans and well-read, seasoned fans!

LIFE AND TIMES OF
MARTHA WASHINGTON IN
THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
Just in time for the Fourth of July! A masterpiece nearly twenty years in the making, this archival volume contains the complete life story of Martha Washington, the
twenty-first century freedom fighter created by comicbook megastars Frank Miller (Sin City, 300) and Dave
Gibbons (Watchmen), now in a more affordable softcover edition.
Our story begins in the squalid corridors of a maximumsecurity housing project, where a young girl will rise
from the war-torn streets of Chicago to battle injustice
in a world insane with corruption. Her fight will take
her far, from the frontlines of the second American Civil
War, to the cold, unforgiving reaches of space. She will
be called a hero, a traitor, and nearly everything inbetween, but all along the way, her courage, her integrity, and her unwavering commitment to that most valuable of rights — liberty — will inspire a movement that
will never surrender.

For years, as Miyamoto Usagi has wandered the countryside, an unseen, malevolent entity has been tracing his
steps. Thought dead since the events of Grasscutter, the
demon Jei — the Black Soul — has been inhabiting the
body of the swordswoman Inazuma, intent on destroying
the evil he claims to see in Usagi! Meanwhile, Boss
Bakuchi, shamed by his inability to avenge his son’s
death, doubles the bounty on the killer — Inazuma. The
money brings out scores of bounty hunters, unaware that
they are merely a flock of sparrows intent on bringing
down an eagle. The hunt for Inazuma also draws Usagi,
hunters Gen and Stray Dog, and a mysterious stranger
named Isamu, each with his own motive. As the threat of
the Black Soul re-emerges, this epic storyline reveals at

MOGWORLD
In a world full to bursting with would-be heroes, Jim
couldn’t be less interested in saving the day. His fireballs fizzle. He’s awfully grumpy. Plus, he’s been dead
for about sixty years. When a renegade necromancer
wrenches him from eternal slumber and into a world
gone terribly, bizarrely wrong, all Jim wants is to find a
way to die properly, once and for all.
On his side, he’s got a few shambling corpses, an inept
thief, and a powerful death wish. But he’s up against
tough odds: angry mobs of adventurers, a body falling
apart at the seams — and a team of programmers racing
a deadline to hammer out the last few bugs in their AI.

USAGI YOJIMBO VOLUME 24:
RETURN OF THE BLACK SOUL
For years, as Miyamoto Usagi has wandered the countryside, an unseen,
malevolent entity has been tracing his steps. Thought dead since the events
of Grasscutter, the demon Jei — the Black Soul — has been-inhabiting the
body of the swordswoman Inazuma, intent on destroying the evil he claims
to see in Usagi! Meanwhile, Boss Bakuchi, shamed by his inability to
avenge his son’s death, doubles the bounty on the killer — Inazuma. The
money brings out scores of bounty hunters, unaware that they are merely a
flock of sparrows intent on bringing down an eagle. The hunt for Inazuma
also draws Usagi, hunters Gen and Stray Dog, and a mysterious stranger
named Isamu, each with his own motive. As the threat of the Black Soul
re-emerges, this epic storyline reveals at last the true origin of Jei!

ZERO KILLER
The creator of Rex Mundi presents his vision of a shattered alternate future,
as brutal gangs struggle for supremacy in a New York City ravaged by
nuclear war and catastrophic flooding. All that remains of the once mighty
city are skeletal, irradiated skyscrapers, inhabited by thugs who abide by
their own twisted rules. While crime lords vie for power and the amoral
paramilitary forces of JOCOM torment survivors of the devastation, one
skilled outcast — the mysterious Zero — uses his strength and wits to stay
a step ahead of everyone. Working for anyone while pledging allegiance to
none, Zero is a bounty hunter who hunts the dregs of a ruined society,
saving some innocents in the process. When a mission from a mysterious
overseas organization is offered to him, Zero sees it as a ticket out of New
York to the mythical promised land of Africa — but he’s going to have to
face some gruesome ghosts from his past first!
