New York City is being plagued by a pack of ferocious brass raptors - strange, skeletonlike creations with batlike wings that swoop out of the sky, attacking people and carrying them away into the night. The Ghost has been tracking these bizarre machines, and is close to finding their origin: a deranged military scientist who is slowly rebuilding himself as a machine. He and his co-conspirators intend to harness these creatures and use them as a means to crush the British.

Can he derail the conspiracy and prevent the war with the British from escalating beyond control?

DeCobray has its hand in everything, including the Lyre XR augmented reality headsets that Stan and his fellow students at Springfield Academy are asked to beta test. At first Stan loves his headset-data on his classmates is at his fingertips, and the Lyre's custom filters make school sort of fun-but then he meets Scarlett, Ichi no Zoro-me, and Julien, and his new friends show him there's a lot more going on behind DeCobray's flashy tech. When several kids go missing at school, Stan and his friends set out to uncover the truth behind the devices. But the further they dig, the more sinister the conspiracy at the heart of their town appears... Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 256 pages, Text Only. Cover price $8.99.

1st printing. By Camille D.G. Mustachio. Dismissed as camp by critics but revered by fans, the kaiju or "strange creature" film has become an iconic element of both Japanese and American pop culture. From homage to parody to advertising, references to Godzilla - and to a lesser extent Gamera, Rodan, Ultraman, and others - abound in entertainment media. Godzilla in particular is so ubiquitous, his name is synonymous with immensity and destruction. In this collection of new essays, contributors examine kaiju representations in a range of contexts and attempt to define this at times ambiguous genre. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 188 pages, B&W. Cover price $19.99.

By Non Pratt.

An original YA novel about three college freshmen, based on the hit graphic-novel series from BOOM! Studios! Giant Days follows the hilarious and heartfelt misadventures of three university first-years: Daisy, the innocent home-schooled girl; Susan, the sardonic wit; and Esther, the vivacious drama queen. While the girls seem very different, they become fast friends during their first week of university. And it's a good thing they do, because in the giant adventure that is college, a friend who has your back is key - something Daisy discovers when she gets a little too involved in her extracurricular club, the Yogic Brethren of Zoise. When she starts acting strange and life around campus gets even stranger (missing students, secret handshakes, monogrammed robes everywhere . . .), Esther and Susan decide it's up to them to investigate the weirdness and save their friend!
