Through his longer-than-usual lifetime, Michael appreciates artifacts and knowledge, and he gathers allies, enemies, and memories. A recent obituary has him reflecting on his time imprisoned in a POW camp during WWII . . .
A man can go by many names, and when someone has been around as long as Michael, he can gain more than just a few aliases. In the present he's Michael Smith, but back in the 1940s he went by James. When the obituary for John, an acquaintance of James's from WWII, comes up in the paper, Michael finds himself ruminating on an experience he thought he'd left behind: the horrors and human experimentation he, John, and others, endured at the infamous Manchuria-based Japanese prisoner of war facility known as Unit 731. For other POWs, their experience at Unit 731 concluded there and then, but for Michael, his encounters with the Axis powers garnered interest that went beyond the end of the war. Michael is more than a simple body to use for target practice or as a research test subject, and both Germany and Japan wanted to have him.
From Will Conrad (Justice League, Serenity) and Rod Monteiro (The Midnight Witch) comes a tale of historical fiction that visits some of humanity's darkest moments.

A New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Book of the Year
In this fresh new fairy tale, a wooden robot embarks on a quest to find his missing sister-- making for a memorable contemporary bedtime story in acclaimed graphic novelist Tom Gauld's first picture book for children.
For years, the king and queen have tried desperately to have a baby. Their wish was granted twice, when an engineer and a witch gave them a little wooden robot and an enchanted log princess.
But there's just one catch: every night when the log princess sleeps, she transforms back into an ordinary log, and can only be woken up with magic words.
The princess and her robot brother are are inseparable, until the sleeping princess, mistaken for lumber, is accidentally carted off to parts unknown. Now it's up to her devoted brother to find her, and get them safely back home.
They need to take turns to get each other home, and on the way, they face a host of adventures involving the Queen of Mushrooms, a magic pudding, a baby in a rosebush, and an old lady in a bottle.
This is acclaimed graphic novelist Tom Gauld's first picture book for children, inspired by a bedtime story he made up for his daughters. In his words, "I was trying to make a book inspired by three different sets of books: The books that I remember enjoying as a child, the books that I watched my daughters enjoying, and the books I enjoy now as an adult. I wanted the book to have its own quirky feeling but also to function like a classic bedtime story."

In a police station, a man is being interrogated. The cops want him to explain 'what he did to Carol'. The man - Polza Mancini, 38 years old, once a writer, now homeless - tells them his story, in his own words, in his own time. He will tell them how, when his father died, he was exposed for the first time to 'the blast' - a savage epiphany that allowed him a momentary glimpse of a world unfettered by limits or morality - and how that vision transformed him. It was a complete upheaval for this unhappy, overweight 38-year-old, who overnight decided to leave everything - his wife, his home, his job - in order to lose himself in nature. Far from the eyes of others, and from anything that might undermine his new self-image, he set off on a quest for freedom from absolutely everything. On a quest for the blast. This is the story of the desperate spiritual struggle of a man who has decided to live by his own laws. It is a tale of mental unbalance; a savage, epic journey; a profoundly disturbing thriller.
Blast is woven from the delicate shadows of the human spirit, the stuff of dreams... and nightmares.
