Story and art by Will McPhail.

Nick, a young illustrator, can't shake the feeling that there is some hidden realm of human interaction beyond his reach. He haunts lookalike fussy, silly, coffee shops, listens to old Joni Mitchell albums too loudly, and stares at his navel in the hope that he will find it in there. But it isn't until he learns to speak from the heart that he begins to find authentic human connections and is let in-to the worlds of the people he meets. Nick's journey occurs alongside the beginnings of a relationship with Wren, a wry, spirited oncologist at a nearby hospital, whose work and life becomes painfully tangled with Nick's.

Ever since Deborah (Jung-Jin) Lee emigrated from South Kora to the United States, she's felt her otherness. For a while, her English wasn't perfect. Her teachers can't pronounce her Korean name.

Caught in limbo, with nowhere safe to go, Deb finds her mental health plummeting, resulting in a suicide attempt. But Deb is resilient and slowly heals with the help of art and self-care, guiding her to a deeper understanding of her heritage and herself.

Written by Jesse Holden. Art and cover by Matthew Bogart.

Evol House may look to the unwitting outsider like a broken-down ranch house in the suburbs-but to those in the know, it's the sanctuary of truant teens, punk rockers, nerds, and outcasts. At least, that's what it's supposed to be. Lately, it feels like everything's falling apart.

Samir finds that life as a runaway isn't all he thought it would be, Allison spirals trying to impress her new "friends", Tina considers leaving town to follow a passionate new connection, and Richard faces down a volatile classmate with a score to settle.

Can these friendships forged on the internet-the most controversial tool of the modern era-survive the "real world"... or will they drop like a bad connection?

Story and art by Etienne Davodeau.

Etienne Davodeau is a comic artist. He doesn't know much about the world of wine-making. Richard Leroy is a wine-maker. He's rarely even read comics. But these two are full of good will and curiosity. Why do we choose to spend one's life writing and creating comics or producing wine?

For more than a year, Etienne went to work in Richard's vineyards and cellar. Richard, in return, leapt into the world of comics. They opened a lot of bottles and read many comics. They traveled around, meeting authors and wine-makers sharing their passion for their jobs. The Initiates explores the nature of a man's vocation with a true life representation of it from two very different perspectives.

1st printing. Written by Marieke Nijkamp. Art and cover by Sylvia Bi. Eleven-year-old Cinzia is a printer's apprentice in sunny Siannerra, a bustling, powerful city, where the ruling family encourages science and arts. Cinzia's days are filled with helping her mestra, Aronne. She adores Mestra Aronne for taking her in, and she loves life in the raggedy workshop that smells of paper and printing, where secrets and stories are always circulating. When Mestra Aronne discovers the principessa's brother is stealing from the city, her latest newsletter becomes the talk of the town. Both Aronne and Cinzia are arrested and charged with treason. Desperate, Cinzia escapes through the mazelike palazzo, only to end up in the gardens, where she comes face-to-face with Elena, the principessa's daughter. Elena is the exact same age as Cinzia, but she's forced to keep to her rooms and garden because, according to her uncle, Elena is not the charming, powerful noble her family wants her to be. The girls decide to work together to free Mestra Aronne and bring justice down upon Elena's uncle. If one person-no matter how young-can change the course of history, just imagine what a whole flock of them could do. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 288 pages, full color. Cover price $24.99.
