Volume 1 - 1st printing. Original Story by Hai Yan. Art and cover by Chen Si. Translated by Ann Gree. A feudal war rages in Ancient China. While the Emperor's sons are embroiled in a bitter rivalry for power, word spreads across the capital about the arrival of a man of extraordinary genius and a brilliant strategist Mei Changsu, adding fuel to the fire. The prophecy says that one who enlists his support will rule the world. But will Mei Changsu agree to be used as a pawn? Many years ago, the capital knew him under another name, and the reason why he returned has nothing to do with the whims of the powerful ones. He only seeks to clear the names of tens of thousands wrongly executed warriors. Willing to sacrifice his past affections and put his own life at stake, he is prepared to go to any length to achieve his goal, even to shake the foundations of the Empire.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Gen Momoji. Kazunobu Haramoto is all about that thug life. He's rough, he's tumble, and now that he's joined the Yakuzu, he's all set to climb the ranks of the underworld. But you know what they say: all conditioned things are like dreams, shadows, and bubbles. And Kazunobu's bubble bursts like no other! A gang raid by a mysterious assassin leaves all his new yakuza comrades dead and dusted, and the fuzz catch him at the scene with the only other survivor, the boss's young daughter. Witness protection is his and the girls best hope now—and for some reason, the cops have it in their heads that a strict and prestegious Zen Buddhist temple is the best place to hide! Kazunobu's got two options: death, or Nirvana! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 208 pages, B&W. Teen Cover price $13.00.

1st printing. Story and art by Mikael Ross. Two German siblings, 12-year-old Tâm and 14-year-old Dennis Nguy?n, encounter a young Vietnamese woman in trouble in a flea market parking lot. When Tâm's spy movie-obsessed schoolmate, Alex, discovers an abandoned backpack with a photo of a happy couple with Tâm's address on the back, it will lead the two to discover a severed finger. Worried, Tâm searches for the desperate woman, aided by her reluctant brother, and eventually finds Hoa Bin, who escaped from her kidnapper — who's still tracking her down. Drawn to Hoa Bin, Tâm vows to save her — even if she has to break her stern-but-loving mom's rules, dodge the bad guys in wild chases through the Berlin streets, and combine the forces of Marina, the Nguy?n's tough-chick neighbor, Jutta, an elderly retired actress, a rollerblading girl gang, and many others to do so. In Ross's empathetic, loose-but-controlled lines, cartoonishly expressive kids interact against and within the realistically depicted urban environments, given texture and grit by screen-tones. Nirvana is Here is a contemporary crime thriller that has adventure, diasporic, coming-of-age, and love story elements, set in Berlin's working-class Lichtenberg district against a backdrop of very current social issues. Softcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9 1/2-in., 352 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $29.99.
