*White and maroon cover* Written by Warren Ellis. Art by Gianluca Pagliarani. The newest addition to Warren Ellis' Apparat line of original graphic novels has arrived! The year is 1907, and Britain has entered into a terrifying war with Ruritania, whose strange metal planes darken the skies, and whose monstrous war engines cast looming shadows from across the channel. Doctor Robert Watcham, lately returned to London from the front, makes his homecoming to Dilke Street. There lives his old friend, and England's greatest amateur detective, Sax Raker. Even as his beloved city prepares for war, Raker is himself about to embark on the strangest, and perhaps the most important, investigation of his career - the case of the man who wasn't there. This is no simple matter of murder; Sax Raker faces haunting questions to which there are no cut-and-dried answers. Is the mysterious killer, at last, evidence for Raker's long-held belief in a secret criminal mastermind? Is it some apparition uniquely belonging to this singular city, a place that seems to have lost all semblance of sense two years ago? Or do all the signs point to something much, much worse? This may very well be the last case for our Raker: a spinning tale of mystery, a tangled story of science, a twisting account of thwarted love, a fleeting glimpse into the aetheric mechanics of the world itself - and, of course, death. Following up the huge success of Crecy, Ellis turns his spark of mad genius to bring us a fantastical tale in this all new original graphic novel illustrated in detailed perfection by Gianluca Pagliarani. Softcover, 48 pages, B&W. Cover price $6.99.

1st printing. Written by ART THIBERT and RICH BIRDSALL. Art by ART THIBERT. GREETINGS POTENTIAL BUYERS! I am here to introduce you to the brilliant new series, QUANTUM MECHANICS. You may have already noticed that time is a fickle mistress. It can fly, crawl or even stand still. What you don't realize is that these are symptoms of Quantum Malfunctions. I will enlighten you. Time is a big machine; one that needs the constant attention of a special breed of repairmen called QUANTUM MECHANICS. These Mechanics are exceptional individuals, handpicked from throughout history because of their diverse skills and attributes. Team 9.2 of Sector 7 is comprised of individuals like Oot (caveman), Caravaggio (inventor), Zyn (child of the Gem) and Dough (rock god). Of course, their methods are a bit, uh, unorthodox, but they never fail to get the job done. Don't forget to look for me, the Quantum Elucidator! Sure, the Mechanics may have flashy suits, cool vehicles, high-tech gadgets, and Rocket Boots instead of special orthopedic shoes, and teammates who don't call you 'Wheezy,' or say you smell like cheese, or give you the wrong directions to parties on purpose . . . *sniff* At least Mamala loves me for who I am. I-I mean, check out those reviews! Softcover, 64 pages, B&W. Cover price $6.95.

By Thibert, Birdsall, Thibert, & Rennee. Time runs smoothly due to the efforts of extraordinary individuals known as Chrono Mechanics. This first issue begins as a gang of vicious Chronomites attack Team 9.2 of Sector 7 on their daily work commute through the time stream. Things only get worse when they suffer the loss of a team member during the battle and are assigned a new, accident-prone recruit who is so inept that he is unable to hold a wrench or power up his own work suit! The Foreman arrives on the scene to find their ship abandoned, the rookie missing, and a dark entity hiding in the disabled ship. With no way to reach the Mechanics, Chrono, Inc. might be forced to 'reboot' time itself! Cover price $3.50.
