RUST TP VOL 00 THE BOY SOLDIER

(W/A/CA) Royden Lepp

What's to Love: First time in softcover! We were instantly captivated by Royden Lepp's first Rust original graphic novel, A Visitor in the Field. In anticipation of the release of the fourth and final installment, we want to get readers excited all over again with this new, softcover collection containing the prologues from the three previously released volumes, plus the never-before-seen prologue from the fourth volume, in an all-new reading order. Great starting point for new readers.

What It Is: Made to look like a boy, but built for battle, Jet Jones is a robot caught in the middle of an ongoing war. While trying to save countless lives, Jet discovers there is more to him than he could have imagined. His experiences in the war set him on a journey to learn what it means to be both hero and human. Rust: The Boy Soldier launches a new paperback program for the Rust series.

"A tale of war and remembrance, a gloriously rendered thrill ride . . . Rust is the best graphic novel I've read in years." - The Oregonian/Oregon Live

NIKOPOL TRILOGY HC VOL 01

(W/A/CA) Enki Bilal

For thirty years, Alcide Nikopol has floated alone in space, sentenced to cryo-preservation. When he finally returns to Earth, the year is 2023, and the world has been ravaged by two nuclear wars! But the strangest change in the world floats above Paris - a giant pyramid, home to the recently returned Egyptian Gods, who would like to reclaim humanity as theirs, if only they could all agree.

Absoluetly one of the coolest things I've ever come across in the world of Euro sc-fi! They even made a movie out of it called "Immortal" that Bilal directed as well! This book has been out of print for 10 years, so don't miss your chance to get this comic book classic!!

PATIENCE HC

(W/A/CA) Daniel Clowes

Patience is a psychedelic science-fiction love story that swings from violent destruction to deep personal tenderness. It is also the first all new graphic novel from master cartoonist Daniel Clowes (Ghost World, Eightball) in over a half-decade! This full-color story is the biggest book of his career and affords Clowes the opportunity to draw some of the most exuberantly breathtaking pages of his life, and to tell his most suspenseful, surprising and affecting story yet. This is the graphic novel of 2016.

POWER MAN & IRON FIST #2

(W) David Walker (A/CA) Sanford Greene

JENNIE AND THE FAMILY SUPERSOUL STONE
• A villain now has her hands on a mystically powerful stone, and it's all Luke and Danny's fault!
• Well, maybe it's not ALL their fault. They were tricked by an old friend, but that's little comfort to our two heroes, much less the gangster from whom they took the stone.
• Someone phone Jessica Jones and let her know Luke's going to be late. Maybe she could binge-watch an awesome streaming super hero show?

A & A #1

(W) Rafer Roberts (A/CA) David LaFuente

GET SMASHED...OR BE SMASHED! Valiant's (somewhat) dynamic duo are going "IN THE BAG" for AN ALL-NEW ONGOING SERIES from rising star Rafer Roberts and comic book superstar David Lafuente!

Meet Armstrong: Since the ancient city of Ur, this immortal adventurer has spent the last 7,000 years drinking and carousing his way through history alongside some of the greatest merrymakers the world has ever known.

Meet Archer: A sheltered teenage martial arts master and expert marksman that was raised for a single purpose - to kill the devil incarnate. Little did he know that this undying evil was actually Armstrong (he's actually a pretty good guy...once you get to know him) and, since hitting the road together, the two have become great friends and even better partners.

Now: Archer is about to set off on his most dangerous mission yet - a quest into the mystic reaches of Armstrong's bottomless satchel to liberate his friend and comrade from the clutches of the mad god Bacchus! (Okay, so, Armstrong went into the satchel himself to get a bottle of whiskey that he kinda misplaced and got stuck. It's like the Amazon warehouse of arcane treasures in there...and he doesn't exactly have a maid service.)
Imprisoned in Armstrong's satchel for centuries, Bacchus now commands a legion of monsters, goblins and golems bent on escaping back into the world of man and enacting revenge on their captor... Can Archer single-handedly combat the godly embodiment of intoxication himself - and rescue his best buddy - without becoming lost amongst Armstrong's endless repository of bizarre artifacts and historical oddities in the process?

GOODBYE
(W/A) Ben Passmore

As Boyz II Men sang, “it’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.”

It’s hard to say goodbye to love, to friends, to ourselves. Our identity is a myth we make. We were early at a party, early enough to miss all those pretentious kids that knew about Catharsis before you. You had a long hard day making protest fliers with all the A’s circled and you just want to makeout with the new punks and practice reciting early Amiri Baraka with the only other black punk there.

Okay, maybe this is just my myth...In time we have to say goodbye to all the truths we were convinced of so that we can acclimate to the ever changing world. You can get a credit card with an Anarchy symbol on it now, weird right? Our End is neigh but maybe it’s not such a big deal? Maybe there’s a sunshine after the rain.

The comic Goodbye by Ben Passmore is comprised of three vignettes: A myth about polyamory, a parable about real punks, and an argument for aging gracefully/ killing yourself.

88 pages, 4 x 5.5 inches
