Having uncovered the dark secret of her enigmatic classmate, Edward Cullen, Bella Swan embraces her feelings for him, trusting Edward to keep her safe despite the risks. When a rival clan of vampires makes its way into Forks, though, the danger to Bella has never been more real. Will she make the ultimate sacrifice to protect the people dearest to her? The second volume of Twilight: The Graphic Novelcompletes the visual adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's worldwide bestselling debut novel and is a must-have for any collector's library.

The graphic novel adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, the first book in her four-volume and runaway bestseller Twilight Saga, published by Yen Press and adapted and illustrated by Korean talent Young Kim. The adjective is appropriate since Ms. Kim's monochrome artwork are just about perfect for the subject matter. Anyhow, just as the original books became best sellers, and the movie adaptation of these books box office hits, Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Volume 1 also set printing records: it sold over 66,000 copies in its first week, the largest debut for a graphic novel in the US, according to publisher Yen Press. It has already broken the record for largest first printing for a graphic novel with 350,000 copies. Of course you can ask any American teenage girl on the street if she has read Twilight and it would be safe to say she has (although we would much rather have them read many other books with better topics). If you're in the US you can ask your girlfriend or wife about it and chances are she's read it, too. And if she has, maybe now's your chance to curl and cuddle up with her with a laptop or e-reader and read the graphic novel.

This multifaceted anthology collects over 25 stories from the first decade of Jason's career, including his remarkable calling card, the novella-length thriller "Pocket Full of Rain," which has never before been published in English. Like a number of his initial stories, "Pocket" is actually drawn with realistic human beings instead of blank-faced animal characters - a true revelation for Jason fans. In fact, this book showcases three distinct styles: his earliest "realistic" drawing style (used to unsettling effect in some particularly creepy stories), an intermediate "bighead" cartoony style that still features humans (used for both humor and drama), and the "funny-animal" style he's now best known for.

Imagine a nation that has lost its ability and desire to make things…” With that tagline, we enter the world of TINKERERS, a graphic novel and “original tale of the near future” written by David Brin and illustrated by Jan Feindt. The comic book envisions a dystopian future, painting America’s flailing manufacturing sector as both victim of and primary accomplice to its own demise. As much an economic tale as a moral one, TINKERERS’ authors clearly have the US industry’s failings in their crosshairs.
