1st printing. Collects Canary (2023 Dark Horse) #1-3. Written by Scott Snyder. Art and cover by Dan Panosian. In 1891 a mine collapsed into itself. What was the dark substance found 666 feet underground? During the final days of the Gold Rush, one mining company in Colorado pulled up radioactive uranium, and then the mine then collapsed in on itself. Legends sprung up about the mine being cursed or even haunted. Now the Frontier is closed, the gold and silver mines have dried up. The country is becoming "civilized," and yet, in one stretch of the Rocky Mountains, a terrifying, new kind of violence is suddenly emerging. Random killings. People going mad and murdering neighbors, classmates without real cause. When a schoolboy kills his teacher with a hatchet, a famous federal marshal named Azrael William Holt is called in to investigate the killings. What he-and a brilliant young geologist-uncover is stranger and more horrifying than anything they could have ever imagined. Blending modern horror, historical fact and Western lore, two-time Eisner Award winning author Scott Snyder and veteran illustrator Dan Panosian have created a uniquely terrifying graphic novel thriller with CANARY. Softcover, 184 pages, full color.l Cover price $24.99.

Moshi-Moshi Momo works from home like many people-in a den crowded with books and papers, shared with a cat that's got its own agenda. Except Momo truly does possess office space-because she lives inside a starship, and relativity means Zoom meetings need half an hour just to ask a question! In the year 3019, humanity has gotten even more work casual: most of the time, Momo doesn't bother to wear her captain's uniform-or anything at all-onboard the cargo vessel Blue Chateau, as she struggles against interstellar tedium, company directives, low battery strength, and her ever-underfoot cat John. But fear not, for equipped with plenty of reading material and a crate of peach liqueur, in the long haul past Proxima Centauri space slacker Captain Momo will at last prove Newton correct-a body at rest will remain at rest!

By Phil & Sarah Stokes. Afterword by Clive Barker.

In the mid-1980s, Stephen King inducted a young English novelist into the world of great genre writers, and since then, this genius creator has only continued to expand his field of activity.

Created by his two most loyal collaborators, Phil and Sarah Stokes, Clive Barker's Dark Worlds is the first book to shed light on the massive scope of Barker's creative work. With the help of Barker himself, this book contains exclusive insight from those who have worked with him creatively and professionally, alongside analyses of his works and comments over four decades from industry contemporaries and friends such as Ramsey Campbell, Quentin Tarantino, Neil Gaiman, China Miéville, Peter Straub, Armistead Maupin, J.G. Ballard, Wes Craven, and many more.

Written by Will Conrad and Rod Monteiro. Art and cover by Will Conrad.

A man can go by many names, and when someone has been around as long as Michael, he can gain more than just a few aliases. Now he's Michael Smith, but back in the 1940s he went by James.

When the obituary for John, who Michael met during WWII, comes up in the paper, Michael finds himself reflecting on a lifetime he left behind-and the horrors and experimentation he, John, and others, endured at the infamous Manchuria-based Japanese facility known as Unit 731.

1st printing. Written by Kazuo Koike. Art by Seisaku Kano. Two slaves free themselves from a slave ship, one a Japanese man, the other an African American. After escaping they find themselves on the shore of Edo-era Japan, a society with a strong caste system, isolated from the world. How will the Japanese people perceive this giant black man, how will they survive? But first things first, how will they get these shackles off their feet? Fans of Kazuo Koike know how he loves to turn out a sensational samurai-era yarn with a certain sense of chauvinist violence and pulpy sexiness, and Color of Rage is by no means a slacker in these categories. Drafted by pinup artist and mangaka Seisaku Kano, Color of Rage features plenty of action, fighting, blood, sexiness, and more fighting. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 418 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $14.95.
