Story and art by Jed M McGowan.

A nameless alien data compiler comes to Earth to study humans, setting up shop on the outskirts of a small desert community in North America. Working under forced labor, it must watch humans in complete secrecy while sending regular reports to its manager back home. Using spore-like technology to read the minds of his hosts, the alien quickly takes a special interest in Will, one of his early subjects. That interest proves to be a problem when the alien is accidentally revealed to Will's family and it takes desperate measures to save its own life.

In doing so, it discovers a forbidden ability...it can control human minds. Now, the alien struggles to keep this secret from its manager, deal with a growing number of suspicious humans, and come to terms with its ethically questionable decisions.

My Life Among Humans is a beautifully painted, evocative first graphic novel from illustrator and cartoonist Jed McGowan.

Written by Hey Gee and Grace Bowden. Art and cover by Hey Gee. Foreword by Grace Bowden.

Once upon a time, when four dragons threaten to bring sickness to villages everywhere, wizards around the world need help to protect their communities.

One young warrior sets out to gather each of the dragons' stones, which hold key information about how the dragons move and attack. The warrior will need her skill, bravery, and the knowledge she gains along the way, along with some help from a baby dragon, to succeed on her adventure as she takes on each of the dragons to gather the stones that can bring protection. In the modern world, our dragon stones - vaccines - may seem nearly as mystical and magical. They've been developed through the hard work, skill and knowledge of doctors and scientists.

This tale speaks to the importance of our best protection against the infectious diseases that threaten global health, and those that are yet to come.

1st printing. Story and art by J Webster Sharp. 'Dentist Robs Women of Teeth' - 'Death Chair for Nice Old Man' - 'Mother Feeds Son Like Bird.' The British newspaper clipping collection of egalitarian George Ives, collected between 1892 and 1949, ranged from murder and theories of crime to cricket scores. He was fascinated by the unusual, the gothic, the sexual, and the melodramatic. In this graphic novel, acclaimed cartoonist J. Webster Sharp shares some of the most bizarre stories from his archives in silent comics form. With often shocking, visceral black and white artwork, the strangeness and eccentricity of the Edwardian era provides a backdrop for Sharp's own struggles with mental health. THE SCRAPBOOK OF LIFE AND DEATH is a fascinating, personal window into forgotten historical views of eccentric and socially transcendent and disturbing behaviors-and their resonance in life today.

1st printing. By Shaenon Garrity. From the moment Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! premiered in 1969 and through the many Scooby movies and shows since, it has cemented its place as one of the greatest cartoons of all time. But there is one character in particular who has risen to icon status: a smarty-pants who can't see without her glasses named Velma Dinkley. As the nerdiest member of the Mystery, Inc. gang, Velma might have been a wallflower or an underdog. Instead, she's become a fan favorite, a fashion legend, a standout role for Linda Cardellini in the live-action movies, the inspiration for countless Halloween costumes, and the star of her own animated series from Mindy Kaling. But why, exactly, do we love this brainiac so much? What Would Velma Do? explores the answers to that question, as well as the many inspiring takeaways we can learn from her, the history of the character, and enough fun facts and trivia to make you say Jinkies!

Wolverine and Sabretooth have one of the most intense rivalries in comics, and acclaimed creators Jeph Loeb and Simone Bianchi bring them together for their bloodiest, most brutal battle ever! They are two sworn foes who have been locked in an endless grudge match that goes back longer than either can remember — or even imagine. The key to victory is eons old, and its certain to rock their world. Think youve seen Marvels fiercest go toe-to-toe before? Those were just warmups. And this time, Wolverine is going to put Sabretooth down for good. Or is he? Years later, Victor Creed is somehow back. But how? And what does it have to do with the immortal manipulator Romulus? As he returns from the ebon folds of the Darkforce Dimension, a mysterious red-headed woman comes to Wolverines rescue — and when her identity and connection to Romulus are revealed, Wolverines history will be rewritten once again! Softcover, 264 pages, full color. Rated T+ Cover price $34.99.

2nd and later printings. By Wayne Ree and Chee Benjamin. Cover by Chee Benjamin. When a menacing multinational arrives on our shores, familiar creatures like pontianaks, manananggals, raksasis, and ba jiao guis are forced out of their jobs. Some give in and sign up for mundane corporate life-but others would rather fight than join the broken-spirited hordes of the (desk)bound. Benjamin Chee's comics and Wayne Rée's prose intertwine in this collection to bring you familiar Asian mythology in an even more familiar setting: the realm of dead-end work, glass ceilings, and truly hellish bosses. Softcover, 6-in. x 8 1/2-in., 192 pages, full color. Cover price $20.00.
