1st printing. Written by Sheldon Allen. Art by Denys Cowan and Dexter Vines. Cover by Rahzzah. Beastmode 510 is a 21st-century Blaxploitation-inspired, action-packed comedy set in Oakland, CA, starring former NFL running back, Marshawn Lynch, a.k.a. Beastmode. Beastmode is Oaklands legendary fixer. Hes a freelance sleuth whose rough demeanor conceals a heart of gold. If youre from the 510 and have a problem that the authorities wont deal with — or if, like, they are the problem — Beastmode will fix it with his thoroughly unique blend of brains and brawn. But, when Beastmode tries to pull off a super-secret surprise birthday party for his mother, he finds himself dragged deeper into a spiraling, interconnected global conspiracy involving — in no short order — three missing young women, a Silicon Valley slavery ring, Yakuza assassins, reptilian billionaires, a million-dollar bounty on his head, a world economy-shattering takedown, and so much more. Beastmode is a true man of the people who stands ten toes down for four things only: his family, his city, his kush, and his Henny. But, cotdang , buddy just cant catch a break this week!

1st printing. Inspired by the Story by L. M. Montgomery. Written by Rey Terciero. Art and cover by Claudia Aguirre. Despite a life on the road with his free-spirited mother, fifteen-year-old Dan Stewart-Álvarez has always wanted to settle down. He just didn't think it'd be like this: with his mother abandoning him in rural Tennessee with two strangers-his gentle grandmother and conservative, rough-around-the-edges grandfather. Here, he is forced to adjust to working the farm, entering high school, and hardest yet-reckoning with his queerness in a severe Southern Baptist community. But even as Dan grows closer to his mawmaw, befriends fellow outsiders at school, and tries to make a new life for himself in Green Gables, he has to discover whether he can contend with intolerance and adapt to change without losing himself in the process. From award-winning author Rey Terciero and Eisner Award nominee and illustrator Claudia Aguirre comes a new retelling of Anne of Green Gables about unconventional families, queer identity, and finding the meaning of home in the most unlikely of places. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 7-in., 256 pages, full color. Cover price $17.99.

By Thierry Gronesteen and Aaron Miller.

In The Expanding Art of Comics: Ten Modern Masterpieces prominent scholar Thierry Groensteen offers a distinct perspective on important evolutions in comics since the 1960s through close readings of ten seminal works.

He covers over half a century of comics production, sampling a single work from the sixties (Ballad of the Salt Sea by Hugo Pratt), seventies (The Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius by Moebius), eighties (Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons), and nineties (Epileptic by David B.). Then this remarkable critic, scholar, and author of The System of Comics and Comics and Narration delves into recent masterpieces, such as Building Stories by Chris Ware. Plus: Fun Home by Alison Bechdel; Pretending is Lying by Dominique Goblet; The Arrival by Shaun Tan; Habibi by Craig Thompson; and The Grand Narrative: Alpha, Beta by Jens Harder.

1st printing. By Art Spiegelman. Art Spiegelman's Maus is an undisputed modern classic. Part history, part memoir, all comic, it recounts his father's chilling experiences during the Holocaust, with Jews drawn as wide-eyed mice and Nazis as menacing cats. In 1992, it became the first graphic novel to win a Pulitzer Prize. In MetaMaus, Spiegelman welcomes readers into his world and the thirteen years-long artistic process behind his seminal book. In extensive interviews with the author and his family-including Spiegelman's original conversation with his father, which served as the foundational narrative of Maus-MetaMaus grapples with the original work's most foundational questions: Why write about the Holocaust? Why choose comics as a medium? Why mice? Richly interspersed with excerpts from Spiegelman's own sketchbooks, as well as drawings by Holocaust survivors and archival photographs, MetaMaus is a vivid glimpse into the creative life of an artist, the vital work of a historian, and the birth of a magnum opus. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 304 pages, full color. Cover price $25.00.
