GOLD DIGGER/NINJA HIGH SCHOOL:<br />

MAIDENS OF TWILIGHT POCKET MANGA<br />

• For the first time in seven years, <strong>Gold</strong> Digger and Ninja High School cross over in an epic<br />

mini-series, from the same talents that brought you <strong>Gold</strong> Digger: Tifanny and Charlotte!<br />

Spirit seer and archmage-in-training Seance and his Rakshasa girlfriend, Genn, are on what's<br />

supposed to be a peaceful beach vacation in the mystic realm of Jade. Instead, they get<br />

caught up in a quarrel between Grim Reapers that ends up partnering them with teenage<br />

assassin-turned-waitress Suzume Satsujin — a dispute that will lead them to the underworld<br />

and back!<br />

STARKWEATHER: IMMORTAL<br />

Cover art by Patrick McEvoy.<br />

Today, witches are hunted at every turn. The Twelve Great Houses have collapsed under<br />

betrayal and infighting; they have abandoned their charges, forsaking the very source of<br />

their gifts. They teeter on the brink of extinction and their best chance at survival — a<br />

five-year-old boy with enough power to topple mountains — disappeared 15 years ago. That<br />

boy has become a man who doesn't remember what he was. The very spell that was woven<br />

to hide him from the world also has hidden his true self, leaving him a directionless<br />

disappointment who wants nothing more than to spend his life in wonderful obscurity. It is<br />

Alexander Starkweather's destiny to restore the Divine Blood to power and lead them into a<br />

new age. But before he can become a witch, he must learn what it means to be a man.<br />

Collects and completes the Starkweather: Immortal series.<br />

THE GOD MACHINE<br />

Cover art by Chandra Free.<br />

Guy Salvatore can't get a break. After his girlfriend Sith died, he can't seem to go through a<br />

morning without monsters coming out of the bathroom mirror, or being pressed at <strong>school</strong><br />

with his friends' concern over his well-being. All Guy wants is to be left alone. One night<br />

after a bad dream, Guy seeks solace in the graveyard by Sith's tombstone, and is confronted<br />

by an odd bunch of characters that will change his life forever with the promise that Sith<br />

might be alive! Meanwhile, a beautiful Goddess known as Good God has lost the key to<br />

heaven. She needs the help of her fellow compatriot, Evil God, to search for it down on<br />

Earth. But what starts off as a minor chore becomes more when Guy catches them in the<br />

graveyard, especially since Gods are supposed to be invisible to mortals...<br />

"Utterly gorgeous work. Unlike some, Chandra's painterly art blends with the story instead<br />

of overpowering it, which is often harder than it looks. And any story involving Satan and<br />

preserve from being turned into an industrial park, they discover the issue isn't as black and<br />

white as they think: not only will the industrial park bring much-needed jobs to the<br />

out-of-work residents of Riverdale, it will also help lower property taxes. But the biggest<br />

conflict of all? The industrial park is being funded by Veronica's father! Now every<br />

installment of this explosive tale is collected under one cover in this special paperback<br />

edition.<br />

CROSSED VOLUME 1<br />

Imagine, for a moment, the worst crimes against humanity. Picture the cruelest affronts to<br />

decency. Conjure your darkest nightmares... and then realize it could all be so much worse.<br />

When civilization crumbles in one terrifying moment; when people are gleefully breaking<br />

into unthinkable acts of violence all around you; when everyone you love has died<br />

screaming in agony: What do you do? There is no help. There is no hope. There is no<br />

escape. There are only the Crossed.<br />

Garth Ennis has pulled out all the stops to write the most depraved and twisted book of his<br />

career, one that also may be his most poignant human drama! Crossed is Ennis' horrifically<br />

visceral exploration of the pure evil that humans are truly capable of indulging and collected<br />

trapped Warlocks would be released back into the world — free to cause death and<br />

destruction! Then, in the graphic novel adaptation of the cult film Leprechaun, the tale of<br />

Lubdan, the king and sole survivor of the Leprechaun, is revealed. Plus, a treasure dealer<br />

stumbles across the Leprechaun's pot of gold and steals it. In this modern age, he finds<br />

buyers all over the planet through on-line auction.<br />

CONAN THE CIMMERIAN: THE SPEAR AND<br />

OTHER STORIES<br />

Collecting all of the Conan and Conan the Cimmerian comic-book collaborations between<br />

acclaimed storyteller Timothy Truman (Scout, Grimjack, Jonah Hex) and veteran artist Paul Lee<br />

(Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Spider-Man), Conan: The Spear and Other Stories is a tribute to<br />

Robert E. Howard's tenacious King Conan.<br />

Beleaguered by attempts at his crown and sickened by political maneuverings, Conan is the sort of<br />

king who takes matters into his own bloody hands. Truman and Lee's "They Shall Be Lords<br />

Again" and "Silent to the Sea" — from Conan issues #35 and #36 — work together as a sequel to<br />

"The Phoenix on the Sword," a beloved Howard story. "The Tale of the Head," from Conan #40,<br />

immediately follows Howard's "The Scarlet Citadel" and pits Conan head-on against the powers<br />

of evil wizard Thoth-Amon. In "The Sorrows of Akivasha," Lee fully paints and Truman fleshes<br />

out the sad plight of a seductive, centuries-old vampire from Robert E. Howard's only Conan<br />

novel, The Hour of the Dragon. This collection also includes the Truman/Lee Conan short from<br />

the Free Comic <strong>Book</strong> Day 2006 Special, a Paul Lee sketchbook section, and colors on most stories<br />

by Eisner Award-winner Dave Stewart. Brutal battles on Pictish soil, scheming sorcerers, false<br />

prophets, a lust-filled vampire, and a little bit of humor — this is an excellent introduction to Dark<br />

Horse's Conan universe for both entirely new fans and well-read, seasoned fans!<br />

KEY SELLING POINTS:<br />

"(Truman) goes back to the same historical and mythical source material Howard must have<br />

used and mines it to expand on what Howard already did. Now that's the way to put your stamp<br />

on a Howard tale. As a result, this reeks of Robert E. Howard influence. There is blood and there<br />

is fire . . . there is death and despair and indomitable will. Basically, everything you could want<br />

from a Conan story." — ComicsBulletin<br />

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MARTHA<br />

WASHINGTON IN THE TWENTY-FIRST<br />

CENTURY<br />

Just in time for the Fourth of July! A masterpiece nearly twenty years in the making, this archival<br />

volume contains the complete life story of Martha Washington, the twenty-first century freedom<br />

fighter created by comic-book megastars Frank Miller (Sin City, 300) and Dave Gibbons<br />

(Watchmen), now in a more affordable softcover edition.<br />

Our story begins in the squalid corridors of a maximum-security housing project, where a young<br />

girl will rise from the war-torn streets of Chicago to battle injustice in a world insane with<br />

corruption. Her fight will take her far, from the frontlines of the second American Civil War, to<br />

the cold, unforgiving reaches of space. She will be called a hero, a traitor, and nearly everything<br />

in-between, but all along the way, her courage, her integrity, and her unwavering commitment to<br />

that most valuable of rights — liberty — will inspire a movement that will never surrender.<br />

KEY SELLING POINTS:<br />

Collecting meticulously remastered versions of every Martha Washington story and featuring the<br />

same extensive, behind-the-scenes section by Dave Gibbons and introduction by Frank Miller as<br />

THUN’DA, KING OF THE CONGO ARCHIVE<br />

Frank Frazetta is widely renowned as one of the greatest fantasy illustrators of all time. But he<br />

didn't hone his skills in study at the fabled galleries of Paris or Milan; his legendary talents<br />

flourished as he worked for hire during the <strong>Gold</strong>en Age of comics!<br />

In the early 1950s, Frazetta set up shop at bustling comics publisher Magazine Enterprises,<br />

contributing beautiful cover illustrations and comics pages. There, he also created his first mighty<br />

adventurer: the lost-world-jungle hero Thun'da! Though Frazetta left Magazine Enterprises shortly<br />

after the first issue of Thun'da was released, and the series was ultimately short-lived despite the<br />

talented care of collaborators Gardner Fox and Bob Powell, to this day the Thun'da, King of the<br />

Congo comics series is held in <strong>high</strong> regard both as an exciting adventure title and as the only<br />

comics series ever to include a cover-to-cover, all-Frazetta issue.<br />

KEY SELLING POINTS:<br />

Collecting all six issues of Thun'da, King of the Congo, as well as the Thun'da backup stories<br />

that appeared in Cave Girl and Africa: Thrilling Land of Mystery, this volume is a definitive<br />

Inazuma also draws Usagi, hunters Gen and Stray Dog, and a mysterious stranger named Isamu,<br />

DESIRE SENSIBILITY (YAOI)<br />

Kosugi is a part-time worker and his boss, Ogata, is nothing but nice. He's always<br />

unapproachable, mean, and strict. Meanwhile, his coworker, Kaminuma, has his eye on<br />

Kosugi, and somehow that seems to bother Ogata. Ogata plays his game too well, and he<br />

seems to be abusing his authority too much. Would this be considered a sexual harassment,<br />

or does he care about Kosugi?<br />

New York Times best-selling author, Joe Hill, reached #8 with his first novel, Heart-Shaped<br />

Box, and is a recipient of the Bram Stoker Award and British Fantasy Award for Best<br />

Fiction Collection (20th Century Ghosts), as well as Best Short Story (Best New Horror)<br />

came from a different place. Written with skill that makes me jealous, courage that makes<br />

me smile, and honesty and brutality that makes me want to see what comes next. Okay, I'm<br />

officially a fan.” — Ed Brubaker, Eisner Award-winning writer<br />

ULTIMATE COLLECTION BOOK 4 TPB<br />

Trump Tower has nothing on Spider-Man! Spinning out of the pages of New Avengers, you<br />

May! But even as Peter and his family adjust to their great new pad and cool new clique, the<br />

hordes of Hydra make a final push to take over the United States! Will the Web-Head and<br />

the New Avengers stop the revitalized Hydra from bringing America to its knees? And if so,<br />

at what cost? And in THE OTHER, Spidey faces his biggest threat yet — a foe so insidious<br />

he can't hope to handle it alone. With friends like Reed Richards, Stephen Strange, and Hank<br />

Pym, he won't have to. But can even the world's greatest minds change the course of fate?<br />

And if they could, would they dare? Having finally accepted the truth, Peter Parker decides<br />

to put the red and blue tights in the closet and spend some quality time with Aunt May and<br />

MJ. But Morlun's got other plans — and this time, there's no Ezekiel to help the Web-Slinger.<br />

If he's going to have any hope to thwart Morlun's obscene mission, he's got two choices:<br />

Evolve or die...!<br />

BLACK-WINGED LOVE<br />

Yoko is a <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong> heartthrob with a reputation for amazing techniques in the bedroom —<br />

at least that's what his fellow students gossip about him. One day, when Yoko arrives at<br />

<strong>school</strong> covered in bandages, his classmate Yukio vows to protect him. Little does he know<br />

the forbidden practices that are in store for him. Meanwhile, driving student Ishimoto finds a<br />

curious commonality with his Driver's Ed. Instructor — an old action-hero television series<br />

beloved in their childhood. But, their innocent bonding just might lead them into far more<br />

adult experiences. In another tale of forbidden infatuation, Fumi finds himself fascinated by<br />

the handsome young man his own brother has become while studying abroad... perhaps even<br />

a little too fascinated. Finally, <strong>high</strong> <strong>school</strong> thug Kanda secretly falls in love with a fellow<br />

gang banger, but soon they realize that their own bad habits can destroy the future of their<br />

love.<br />

THE PLAYWRIGHT<br />

The Playwright rather enjoys a quiet moment in the local park. It is a good place to mentally<br />

sort his ideas, and is often frequented by pretty young ladies. He once saw a pigeon defecate<br />

onto a businessman's shoulder. It struck him as absurd that such an event is often considered<br />

lucky. Surely the luck lay with passers-by who, statistically, were far less likely to be<br />

similarly soiled, at that precise moment. Similarly, the Playwright always derived an almost<br />

perverse sense of relief whenever he received news that an old friend had developed prostate<br />

cancer. Because statistically, he reasoned, such news significantly reduced the chances of<br />

him being similarly afflicted. And to be honest, at his age, his prostate needed all the<br />

statistical support he could muster.”<br />

The Playwright: a dark, romantic comedy about the sex life of a celibate, middle-aged man.<br />

AN EMPIRE UNACQUAINTED WITH<br />

DEFEAT<br />

The Dread Empire, a gritty world of larger-than-life plots, nation-shattering conflict,<br />

maddening magic, strange creatures, and raw, flawed heroes, all shown through the filter of<br />

Glen Cook's inimitable war-correspondent prose. The Dread Empire, spanning from the<br />

<strong>high</strong>est peaks of the Dragon's Teeth to the endless desert lands of Hammad al Nakir, from<br />

besieged Kavelin to mighty Shinshan, the Empire Unacquainted with Defeat, with its<br />

fearless, masked soldiers, known as the Demon Guard...<br />

An Empire Unacquainted with Defeat collects all of Glen Cook's short fiction set in the vast<br />

world of the Dread Empire, from "The Nights of Dreadful Silence", featuring the first<br />

appearance of Bragi Ragnarson, Mocker, and Haroun bin Yousif, to the culture-clashing<br />

novella "Soldier of an Empire Unacquainted with Defeat"; from "Silverheels", Cook's first<br />

published work of fiction, to "Hell's Forge", a haunting tale of cursed pirates and strange<br />

lands, appearing here for the first time. Also including a detailed introduction and extensive<br />

story notes by Glen Cook, An Empire Unacquainted with Defeat charts the development of<br />

this influential American author and the massive, multifaceted world that he created.<br />

THE LOVING DEAD<br />

Kate and Michael are roommates living in the Oakland hills, working at the same Trader<br />

Joes supermarket. A night of drunken revelry changes their lives forever, but not in the way<br />

that anyone would expect. A slow-spreading plague of zombie-ism breaks out at their house<br />

party, spreading amongst their circle of friends, and simultaneously through the Bay Area.<br />

This zombie plague — an STD of sorts — is spread through sex and kissing, turning its<br />

victims into mindless, horny, voracious killers. Thrust into extremes by this slow- motion<br />

tragedy, Kate and Michael are forced to confront the choices they've made in their lives, and<br />

their fears of commitment, while trying to stay alive and reunite in the one place in the Bay<br />

Area that's likely to be safe and secure from the zombie hoards: Alcatraz.<br />

HORUS HERESY BOARD GAME<br />

Brother fights brother, and the universe hangs in the balance! Long before the grim darkness<br />

of the 41st millennium was a time of myth and legend, where god-like beings met in a<br />

monumental battle of brother against brother. Let us return to the Imperium of the 31st<br />

Millennium when a golden age was shattered by betrayal, and exploded into the greatest<br />

battle of all time!<br />

Welcome to the Horus Heresy, an epic board game for two players set in the dark future of<br />

Games Workshop's preeminent Warhammer 40,000 universe. One player will take the role<br />

of the godlike Emperor of Holy Terra and valiantly stand as the last beacon of hope for the<br />

future of all mankind. The other player will lead the attack as the Warmaster Horus, once the<br />

most trusted and loved scion of the Emperor, now turned entirely away from sanity and<br />

hope, twisted beyond recognition by the insidious taint of Chaos. Both players will<br />

command their vast legions in pitched battle across the now war-torn surface of Terra,<br />

birthplace of the human race. Can Horus succeed in this profane quest to crush the<br />

Imperium, drowning the galaxy in a flood of Chaos and destruction, or will the steadfast<br />

Holy Emperor of Mankind break the bloody siege, turning the tide of assault against the<br />

cruel machinations of the Dark Powers of the Warp?<br />

THROUGH THE DESERT<br />

The desert is treacherous, mysterious, and without mercy. But for those willing to risk the<br />

dangers of the shifting, sun-baked sands, the desert holds riches beyond compare. Like a<br />

draught of cold water to a parched and weary traveler, after remaining unavailable for many<br />

years, this classic and celebrated area-control game returns to print! In Through the Desert,<br />

two to five players control tribes of nomads vying for vital resources scattered across the<br />

sandy wastes. By establishing caravans and traveling to oases and sources of water, players<br />

will balance numerous strategies in their quest to lead their tribe to victory.<br />

Through the Desert, from award-winning game designer Reiner Knizia, has long been hailed<br />

as both a game of surprisingly deep strategy, and as a perfect gateway game. This reprint<br />

includes everything found in earlier editions, including the famous pastel plastic camels.<br />
