The online game Yamada Kenichi had been playing religiously is shutting down its servers, leaving him with a void in his heart. He looks for a new game to fill it, but everything he finds is way too easy.

Kenichi stumbles upon an untitled game, one promising incomparable challenge with unprecedented potential. Without hesitation, he selects the "Hell Mode" difficulty. Lo and behold, he finds himself reincarnated in another world as a serf! Now called Allen, he sets out to unlock the secrets of his mystery-laden Summoner class; without the convenience of walkthroughs, game guides, or online forums, he must grope his way to the top of his new world!

    Written by Don Lomax. Art by Don Lomax and Rose Lomax. Cover by Gabriel G Perez. Back Cover by Don Lomax and Rose Lomax.

    From Harvey-nominated writer/artist Don Lomax, creator of the Vietnam Journal series. Cam Ky MacMurphy is half-Vietnamese, half-American. His uncle, Nguyen Van Tan, raised him from birth in the US and the two live in an area that is controlled by a skinhead gang. The neighborhood lives in fear as the gang forces them to pay "protection" money. When Nguyen refuses, he and Cam are beaten and their family store is burned to the ground. Then hope appears in the form of a ghost from the past.

    When Nguyen was young, right after Cam was born, he worked with a U.S. Fire Team deployed in the last days of the Vietnam War. The team was comprised of six brave men who ended up sacrificing their lives trying to evacuate women and children from an about to be overrun base.

    Now the Fire Team has come back from the dead to not only save Nguyen and Cam but bring news to Cam that his American father is alive and fighting a guerilla war in the Vietnamese jungles!

    Told from the point of view of a young man discovering punk and working through mental illness, this stunning nonfiction graphic novel gives punks the most important advice of all: "You aren't alone. You're going to make it through alive."

    1st printing.

    By Kurt Kalata.

    Japan has produced thousands of intriguing video games. For any number of reasons, not all of them were ever released outside of the country, especially in the '80s and '90s. While many of these titles have since been documented by the English-speaking video game community, and in some cases, even unofficially translated, a huge proportion of the Japanese game output is unknown outside of their native territory.

    Hardcore Gaming 101 Presents: Japanese Video Game Obscurities seeks to catalogue many of these titles, games that are weird, compelling, strange, cool or historically important.

    Hardcover, 8-in. x 10-in., 208 pages, full color.

    Cover price $32.95.
