Written by Matt Pizzolo. Art by Amancay Nahuelpan.

What if California refused to be ruled? From the creators of Young Terrorists, Matteo Pizzolo (Godkiller) and Amancay Nahuelpan (Clandestino), comes this tale of resisting oppression, punching Nazis, protecting each other, kicking ass, and demanding liberty for all. In CALEXIT, the citizens of California struggle to seize power back from an autocratic government. Jamil, a 25 year old courier (aka smuggler), and Zora, a 27-year old leader in the Mulholland Resistance, attempt to escape Occupied Los Angeles, where martial law has been in place for the past year -- ever since America's demagogue President signed an executive order to deport all immigrants, and California responded by proclaiming itself a Sanctuary State.

H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu, first published in 1928, is one of the greatest classics of American horror literature.

Cthulhu himself, dreaming and waiting at the bottom of the sea, became a symbol for the entire mythology that Lovecraft created.

1st printing. By Glen Weldon. Since his creation, Batman has been many things: a two-fisted detective; a planet-hopping gadabout; a campy Pop-art sensation; a pointy-eared master spy; and a grim and gritty ninja of the urban night. How we perceive Batman's character, whether he's delivering dire threats in a raspy Christian Bale growl or trading blithely homoerotic double-entendres with partner Robin on the comics page, speaks to who we are and how we wish to be seen by the world. It's this endlessly mutable quality that has made him so enduring. And it's Batman's fundamental nerdiness - his gadgets, his obsession, his oath, even his lack of superpowers - that uniquely resonates with his fans who feel a fiercely protective love for the character.

By Michael Eury.

Captain Action, the original super-hero action figure, was introduced in 1966 in the wake of the Batman television craze, and later received his own DC comic book with art by Wally Wood and Gil Kane. Able to assume the identities of 13 famous super-heroes, his initial career was short-lived, but continuing interest in the hero has led to two different returns to toy-store shelves. This second edition of the critically acclaimed volume chronicles the history of this quick-changing champion, including photos of virtually every Captain Action product ever released, spotlights on his allies and his archenemy, an examination of his comic-book appearances, and "Action facts" that even the most-diehard Captain Action fan won't know!

This edition includes behind-the-scenes material covering Captain Action's triumphant 2008 return to comics shelves from Moonstone Books, and spotlights on the new wave of Captain Action collectibles.
