Edited by Chad Oppenheim and Gollin. Art by Fueyo. Contributor Mann, Frayling, Rosa, Murphy, and Valys.

From Atlantis in The Spy Who Loved Me to Nathan Bateman's ultra-modern abode in Ex Machina, big-screen villains often live in architectural splendor.

Written by Brian McDonald. Art and cover by Toby Cypress.

From Brian McDonald, storyteller extraordinaire, comes a remarkable non-fiction graphic novel about the art of storytelling.

There is wisdom in the land of the dead, for it is the place that all stories lay to rest. And what is a story, if not a simulation of survival? Wielding his massive experience from film, tv, comics, and more, Brian McDonald lays out a history of storytelling and shows the reader how the best tales tug at our truest biological instinct: the need to survive. Readers will see how different forms of survival-physical, emotional, spiritual-inform the arc of character development in a way that makes them more complex and compelling. And how plot and circumstance must then force your protagonist to meet their worst nightmare. Toby Cypress's electric art guides the reader through the underworld, visualizing each narrative masterpiece, and bringing the ideas to life. Whether you're in film, books, comics, or simply a story enthusiast, this book offers a way to see character development and the crafting of plot through the lens of human questions of morality and mortality.

Story and art by Gipi.

Land of the Sons is Gipi's most artistically accomplished work to date, juxtaposing the stark savagery of the post-apocalyptic narrative with the Italian master's dense and expressive line work. While similar tonally, Sons, unlike Lord of the Flies, lays the groundwork for humanity overcoming sheer brutality and personal desires, while commenting on the fragile state of masculinity and human nature itself.

1st printing. By Anne Rice. From the day her first Vampire Chronicle was published, critics and readers–readers by the hundreds of thousands–have been mesmerized by the writings of Anne Rice. And with the publication of The Witching Hour, she created for us yet another world and legend, and both the chorus of praise and the multitudes of her readers once more increased. Now, Anne Rice brings us again–even more magically–into the midst of the dynasty of witches she introduced in The Witching Hour. At the center: the brilliant an beautiful Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven, and Lasher, the darkly compelling demon whom she finds irresistible and from whose evil spell and vision she must now flee. She takes with her their terrifying and exquisite child, one of a brood of children born knowing, able to stand and talk on the first day. Rowans attempt to escape Lasher and his pursuit of her and their child are at the heart of this extraordinary saga. It is a novel that moves around the globe, backward and forward through time, and between the human and demonic worlds. Its many voices–of women, of men, of demons and angels, present and past–haunt and enchant us. With a dreamlike power, the novel draws us through twilight paths, telling a chillingly hypnotic story of occult and spiritual aspirations and passion. Hardcover, 592 pages, Text Only.

1st printing. Based on the Story by James M. LaRossa, Jr.. Adapted by Jonathan Vankin. Art by Giorgio Pontrelli. Cover by Butch Guice. Back Cover by Giorgio Pontrelli. "From the 1960s until the turn of the 21st century, New York City was the world's epicenter of organized and white-collar crime. During those four decades, the most feared Mafia chiefs, assassins, defrocked stockbrokers, Orthodox Jewish money-launderers, and Arab bankers sought the counsel of one man: my father, Jimmy LaRossa, a Kennedy-era prosecutor who became the defense lawyer of first resort." - James M. LaRossa Jr. James LaRossa was truly a larger-than-life figure - an attorney who was at the center of some of the most important criminal cases of the 20th century. He was also the father of four children: Susan, Nancy, Thomas - and James M. LaRossa Jr., who would spend the last five years of his father's life learning and recording the amazing history presented here. Based on LaRossa Jr.'s acclaimed memoir of the same title, Last of the Gladiators tells the story of how he found his own identity and place in the world while growing up as the son of one of the most outsized and outrageously successful personalities in the history of New York City - a father whom LaRossa Jr. always called his "true north." Written by LaRossa Jr. and Jonathan Vankin and illustrated by Giorgio Pontrelli, Last of the Gladiators is filled with true tales of the New York mob and features some of the most colorful characters of the era (including Paul Castellano, John Gotti, Don King, and Frank Sinatra) but is, at its heart, a love story between a father and a son - one that ultimately reveals what it takes to become, and what it means to be, a real man.

1st printing. Collects Laura (2021 Ablaze) Guillem March's #1-3.

Story and art by Guillem March. Translated by David Soto Brown.

Before his work on Batman and the hit Joker series, before he created Karmen, there was the heartfelt story of Laura, the book that led Guillem March to the mainstream comics world!

Suffering from the ever-painful experience of unrequited love, twenty-year-old Laura takes a look at her life. Does the fact that the boy she has feelings for is in love with someone else mean there is something wrong with her? Or is that just how young love goes? And what will happen when she tries to get past the hurt and move on with her life?

Laura is an exploration into the mind of a young woman who has experienced something most people have, but in an honest and beautiful way that only Guillem March can bring us.

Other stories in the book include Irene, which explores the nature of inspiration and creating art outside of one's comfort zone, thanks to some advice from a role model and a cameo by Guillem himself. And in Muse, an artist's search for a model puts how a young woman is perceived by her male roommates into perspective.

Includes bonus material, cover gallery, and more in this hardcover collection.
