If there were a prize for the best pet, dogs would win, no contest. Sure, a crocodile, tiger, or hippopotamus would be cool, but who wouldn't want their own little puppy to cuddle, love... and train? It's going to take some patience, and this little Nunuche isn't going to make the job easy!

While in a coma after a devastating car crash, an eleven-year-old musician named Melody mentally drifts into a world that hovers between life and death, where she meets a strange, fascinating woman who tells her that she can remain in the realm of the living so long as she agrees to accept a series of missions. Back in the real world, a fully recovered Melody is stunned to discover that when she sets out to complete the assignments given to her, she will be doing them... in the body of her twenty-year-old self

The year 1910 marks the first time the Tour de France, only seven years young, will include a section through the high mountain passes of the Pyrenees. The weather is awful. The routes are perilous. The rules are still a work in progress. Nutrition? Safety? These racers didn't even have derailleurs. They barely had gears. In a genuinely superhuman feat of determination and endurance they rode through literal blood, sweat, mud, snow, starvation, tears, and utter despair to make the Tour de France what it is today: a contest of colossi, a clash of titans, a tour... of giants.

When the good ship St. Nicholas sailed from the port of Piraeus, none among its crew knew this trip would be their last. Nor could anything have prepared them for the nightmarish creature that rose from sunless depths to claim them. Worst of all, no one had instructed them how to answer the creature's question: "Is He Alive?"In this stunning work, Dimitris Vanellis and Nikolas Kourtis craft a modern tale of terror on the high seas, based on one of the scariest legends in Greek folklore.

The year is 432 B.C., and the 87th Olympiad is about to begin. Through the tender story of Lydia and Kallias, we'll be guided through Elis, city of the ancient Olympic Games. We'll take a stroll through the sacred grove of Olympia, with its hallowed Temples and Treasuries, and we'll see the Prytaneion, the Pelopion, and the Bouleuterion. We'll learn all about the games and the religious ceremonies and cultural events which took place in parallel to the athletic contests. We'll talk to artists and philosophers of the day, getting a better sense of the Olympic spirit, where it came from, and how it resonates still at the modern-day Olympics. A perfect way to prepare for the upcoming 2024 Games in Paris!

Not only was it the worst marathon in Olympic history, but you would be hard-pressed to find another event that was as scandalously bad as the 1904 marathon. This is no slight on (most of) the men who competed, because it would seem as if the race were bad by design: the organizer of the Games, James E. Sullivan, wasn't looking for the glory of competition and sportsmanship at his games, but rather evidence of white supremacy. Deprived of water, running under a blazing sun on dusty, hilly roads: it's a miracle that fourteen of the initial thirty-two competitors even completed the event. The story of this race and the athletes who took part is ludicrous, unedifying, and a terribly good time.

Florence Dupré la Tour gives us a love story for the ages: her childhood growing up with her twin sister. In part one of this autobiographical tale, she continues to explore her own life in masterfully crafted inks and watercolors, unflinchingly plumbing the depths of her family to show both the bliss of having a twin, and the harsh reality and suffering of trying to find your place in a relationship, in your family, and in society.

Can Darkwing successfully navigate his two separate lives, all while looking incredibly cool and impossibly handsome? (Hint: Probably not, but... ) You'll have to read to find out!
