1st printing. Written by Alexandre Fontaine Rousseau. Art and cover by Francis Desharnais. A wild ride into the depths of outer space and the heights of hubris! October 4, 1957: The launch of Sputnik—a piece of orbital space junk that goes "beep beep"—kicks off a battle for celestial supremacy between the USSR and the USA, rival superpowers armed with massive rockets, galaxy-sized egos, and zero chill. Over the course of a decade, scientists, politicians, and regular folks on both sides of the Iron Curtain grapple with the big questions: How do you convince a dog to volunteer for a one-way trip into orbit? Wouldn't it be easier to just fake the whole moon landing thing in a movie studio? And how are we supposed to sell commemorative T-shirts and coffee mugs if we don't get a sweet logo designed ASAP? Writer Alexandre Fontaine Rousseau (Vampire Cousins) and artist Francis Desharnais (Art Wars) blast off on a ridiculous, irreverent, and utterly un-factual journey through the twists and turns of the Space Race. Across a series of hilarious episodes, the duo takes aim at the excesses of capitalism, the dark side of communism, and the questionable wisdom of launching billions of dollars into the void. The Conquest of the Cosmos is a withering satire of politics, ideology, and human ambition that couldn't be more relevant to our current moment. Fans of Tom Gauld, Kate Beaton, and Monty Python will delight in the deadpan humour and minimalist illustrations in this biting comedy! Winner of the BDGest'Arts Award for Best Comic! Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 208 pages, full color. Teen Cover price $24.95.

Story and Art by S. Craig Zahler.

An alien spacecraft the size of a city materializes over the Pacific Ocean, and the nations of the world jointly engage this enigmatic and incommunicative visitor with force. This battle results in large-scale destruction on both sides, but does not answer any of the questions that will haunt humanity: What are these utterly inhuman creatures? Where did they come from? Why did they choose to visit our planet? And . . . most importantly . . . are more forces on the way?

For the bereaved billionaire Carlton Land, renowned biologist Aimee O'Donnell, and the brilliant but blunt USAAF Chief Scientist Kenneth Yamazaki, these questions must be answered in order to safeguard the future of the human race.
