The unforgettable world of Frank Miller's Dark Knight saga - reimagined by the comics
industry's greatest artists with a collection of variant cover art - is brought to life in this hardcover title, BATMAN: THE ART OF THE DARK KNIGHT: MASTER RACE.
No comic has shaped the future of superhero storytelling like Frank Miller's THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. Even 30 years later, the iconic story of an aged Batman in a strange dystopian future still sets the gold standard for what a comic book can be.
So when Miller's highly anticipated third installment of the series, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT: MASTER RACE, hit comics shops, it was accompanied by DC's most ambitious variant cover program ever - over 150 variant covers produced by an all-star roster of artists, from veteran industry legends to the hottest rising stars. This special edition collects all the covers, variant covers and mini-comic covers from MASTER RACE, along with never-before-seen sketch material and an introduction by longtime Miller collaborator and Dark Knight saga inker, Klaus Janson.
FEATURING STUNNING ARTWORK BY
Frank Miller, Andy Kubert, Klaus Janson, Jim Lee, Rafael Albuquerque, Neal Adams, Michael Allred, John Cassaday, J. Scott Campbell, Greg Capullo, Darwyn Cooke, Tim Sale, Brian Bolland, Gary Frank, Ivan Reis, Francis Manapul, David Finch and many more!

Mignola reunites with one of his favorite collaborators, Ben Stenbeck (Frankenstein Underground, Witchfinder: In The Service of Angels, Baltimore) to explore Koshchei's past. This volume collects the complete six-issue series plus bonus material.

1830, Black Africa, Atar Gull, a beautiful slave is loaded onto the boat of Captain Benoît, to be sold in the Antilles. His price is high: the son of a king, an athlete, a warrior... His story takes us from the holds of a slave ship to Jamaica, from slave markets to the heart of a plantation; his fate will be a tragic one...
Fabien Nury and Brunö have created an incredible, flamboyant fresco, a staggering adventure of a thousand dramatic turns, a superb album of 88 pages which will continue to haunt you long after you have closed it.

It is clear from the first panel that Loisel has no interest in giving us a white-washed narrative: 'London... cold, hunger and misery merge to set the scene...' It's a Dickensian nightmare. The houses are cramped, the streets are full of cynical, selfish people and all is awash in the ordure of poverty. While it's clear that they all suffer together, there is precious little sense of community. The Londoners prey upon each other like rats in a cobble-stoned coffin. The single factor connecting the adult world and that of the young is a gnawing hunger to escape. So, we come to Peter, a ragged child holding forth to a group of orphans in a tiny yard. When we first meet him, his only magic lies in his words, transporting the children with marvelous stories of far away places and warming their hearts with the 'words of tenderness' he claims his mother whispers to him. (That damned harpy!) His struggle to maintain innocence in a tawdry world is heart-breaking, and renders the book firmly in the arena of adult reading. Loisel does an excellent job of portraying the darkness and terror of the adult world from a prepubescent perspective, in imagery, language and inference - laying down the psychological tracks that lead to Peter's perpetual childhood in Neverland. This is not a world for children.
Although he chooses to root the story in reality, the bulk of the adventure takes place in Neverland - though it's not actually named in the book. If there is one thing that Peter Pan represents, it's the joy of unfettered imagination, and Neverland fits him like a glove. Loisel's artwork is of the very highest quality, but the flames of his creativity burn brightest in Neverland. The island is brought vividly to life, in all its contradictions: blending Greek mythology, fairy tale, stories of the blood-red waves and the wild west. The character design is fabulous throughout: from Hook's haggard and bestubbled face to the Peter's gap-toothed grin, while the Lost Boys have never looked wilder. The pirates' attempts to steal the fairy treasure (and latterly exact revenge on poor Peter) is perhaps the one weak point of the story. It suffers from the same malaise as Barrie's original, with outlandish ploys and schoolboy tactics. That said, Hook is a formidable bully when roused, representing as he does all Adults in his grasping nature and cruel injustices. If this is a 'children's' story, then it's the kind they tell each other when there are no grown-ups around: full of brutality and bloody excess.
This is one of those rare books that gives you more and more each time you read it, whether it's in the spectacular detail of the artwork, fresh insights to story, theme or meaning. The artwork is sumptuous, the drama intense and the emotional punches are near-crippling. How many comics delve into gnaw-knuckle nastiness one minute and move you to tears the next? Precious blooming few, and that's a fact!

But when her fellow scientists start turning up dead, she's both the natural leading suspect...and the only person (or plant) who can crack the case.
To solve the mystery, Poison Ivy must team up-or throw down-with her oldest friends and closest frenemies, from Harley Quinn to Catwoman to the Swamp Thing. Can she keep things under control, or will she be responsible for a deadly new harvest?

1944: Imperial Japan still commands most of Asia. Determined to regain their hold on Burma, the British send a special forces unit - the Chindits - deep behind Japanese lines. Their mission is to attack the enemy wherever they find him. What awaits them is a nightmare equal to anything the Second World War can deliver. Colonel Keith Crosby and Doctor Alistair Whitamore have old scores to settle, being veterans of the long retreat through Burma two years before. But neither the jungle nor the foe have gotten any less savage, and when the shooting starts and the Japanese descend on the smaller British force in their midst, every man will be tested to his limit. Writer Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher, DREAMING EAGLES) and artist PJ Holden (The Stringbags, World of Tanks, Judge Dredd) present a tale of hellish jungle warfare, as apparently civilized human beings descend into an apocalyptic heart of darkness.

An anachronistic parable for the convulsive elite.
What is the squirrel machine? Is it a rodent ensnarement device? A mechanism for concealing one's guarded harvest? An anachronistic fable? A meaningless diversion?
Set in a fictional 19th Century New England town, the narrative initially details the relationship and maturation of Edmund and William Torpor. But the two brothers quickly elicit the scorn and recrimination of an unamused public when they reveal their musical creations built from strange technologies and scavenged animal carcasses. Driven to seek a concealment for their aberrant activities, they make a startling discovery. Perhaps they will divine the mystery of the squirrel machine.

20 years in the making, the long-awaited graphic novel masterpiece from acclaimed cartoonist Jordan Crane. A young couple is stuck in traffic, reading a book aloud to each other to pass the time. The relationship is already strained, but between the encroaching road rage, and a novel that hits way too close to home, tensions are running especially high by the time they arrive back at their apartment. When one of them leaves to get takeout and a movie, each of the young lovers is individually forced to confront loss, grief, fear, and insecurities in unexpected and shocking ways.
Crane's formal use of the comics medium - threading several timelines and the interior and exterior lives of its protagonists together to create an increasing, almost Hitchcockian sense of dread and paranoia - is masterful. But as the title hints, there are dualities at its core that make it one of the most exciting works of graphic literary fiction in recent memory, a brilliant adult drama that showcases a deep empathy and compassion for its characters as well as a visually arresting showcase of Crane's considerable talents. Keeping Two is ostensibly a story about loss, but by the end, it just might also be about finding something along the way - something that had seemed irredeemable up to that point. In that way, it's also a deeply romantic book.
Cartoonist Jordan Crane has been one of the most quietly influential comics-makers of the past quarter-century - in multiple senses of the word: as a cartoonist, a designer, an editor, a publisher, a printmaker, an advocate, an archivist, and more. But Keeping Two is his biggest project in close to two decades and will be one of the most anticipated graphic novels of 2022.

Poor Bettie Page has barely finished up her latest adventure and gotten back to modeling when duty calls once more! Seems there's something funny going on in a place called Roswell, and it's up to Bettie to investigate! There's a catch this time, though - the United States military might be putting Bettie on the case, but they can't avow the existence of said case - or Bettie! Instead, our marvelous model is given a crack team of assistants to help her go where no woman has gone before! Fresh off scribing Bettie Page and the Bigfoot Bandits, this spaceship is steered with a purpose by fan-favorite Ani-Mia and illustrated with only the finest stardust by Celor (Hack/Slash vs. Chaos!, Kiss: The Phantom Obsession)!
