1st printing. By Les Stroud and Michael Vlessides . Art by Beverly Hawksley. Photography by Laura Bombier. From the sun-scorched sands of the Kalahari to the snake-infested jungles of the Amazon, Les Stroud has made a life of surviving in the harshest—and most remote—regions on Earth. Now, the creator, producer, and host of the hit television program Survivorman transfers his decades of knowledge and experience to the pages of Survive!, a practical guide that gives everyday readers a no-nonsense look at the real world of survival. Stroud offers readers the essential skills and tactics necessary to endure in any corner of the globe, along with a wealth of insider information born of his own experiences in the outdoors and unavailable in any other book. Readers will learn: - How to make a survival shelter and why a lean-to is largely a waste of time. - Why survival kits are important, and why you should make your own. - Where to find water and why drinking contaminated water is sometimes warranted. - How to locate and trap small animals and why the notion of tracking and hunting large game is largely a pipe dream. Whether seasoned in the outdoor arts or new to adventuring, all readers will learn something from Survive!. Stroud's many colorful anecdotes and cut-to-the-chase philosophy not only make for an entertaining read, but also enhance anyone's ability to focus on the main goal when everything else has gone wrong—survival. Softcover, 5-in. x 8-in., 374 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $19.95.

1st printing. By Michael Breakfield (Odinson).

Every slasher tale has its bit (My Bloody Valentine, April Fools Day); every slasher tale has its Boogeyman (Leatherface, Chucky); and every slasher tale has its sequel, but most importantly of all, every slasher tale has its survivor, that brave young girl who alone was cunning, brave, and, of course, lucky enough to face her stalker in a third act showdown and live to see another day. My story is about what happens if these survivors get together and decide they have had enough?

The Survivors: A Glen Haven Tale is about Diana, Tesla, Anne, Cat, and Autumn - five women who have all lived through vicious attacks by a demented madman, five women seeking closure, five women seeking revenge, five strong women who team up, seek out the murderer that haunts a small east Texas town and attempt to end his reign of terror once and for all. Capturing the monster is only the beginning. Its what they decide to do next that will change their lives forever and may turn them into the very thing they have feared all along. As Friedrich Nietzsche said, [S]he who fights with monsters should be careful lest [s]he thereby become a monster...

The Survivors: A Glen Haven Tale is a thriller set in a small east Texas town which is shrouded in mysteries and haunted by the supernatural. It features a cast of strong, complex female protagonist.

Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 388 pages, Text (with 1 page of B&W Illustrations). Mature Readers

NOTE: "A killer haunts a Texas town full of mysteries in this debut novel. Breakfield's premise is intriguing…Teen slasher flicks, The Blair Witch Project, and Twin Peaks are all lovingly imitated." - Kirkus Reviews

NOTE: "This tale is my love letter to the slasher/horror genre of the 1980s." - Odinson, mycomicshop.com Archivist

Written by Reki Kawahara. Art and cover by Tsubasa Hazuki.

The Priestess of Light, Alice. If we sacrifice all members of the army of darkness, she will be within our grasp...

It is the second day of the final stress test. The army of darkness, driven to desperation by the coordinated onslaught at the hands of the Integrity Knights, has begun to retaliate with incredibly reckless tactics. Critter, who had been observing the events of the Underworld from the outside, has successfully created a gateway for the masses under the guise of an invitation for "A limited-time beta test for a new VRMMO in production." This digital invite has bolstered the forces of the army of darkness by over fifty thousand people.

Asuna, unable to compete with such a level reinforcement, begins to sink into depair. But all is not lost! Two new deities of the Underworld will descend to lend their aid: The Blazing White Solus and the Earthmother Terraria. And the ones in possession of these super-accounts are none other than Sinon and Leafa!

Meanwhile, in another corner of the battlefield, Asuna is pushed to her limits as she defends Kirito from the army of Darkness. But just when all seems lost, a voice cries out in Kirito's heart, urging him back into the world. Grabbing hold of that light in the darkness, the black swordsman awakens...
