Sci-Fi Stranger Things Omnibus Volume 1 This collection provides deeper exploration into the characters during and shortly after the events of the wildly popular Netflix show’s first season, including what Will experienced during his time in the Upside Down. It’s great context for those who are new to the series or are embarking on a re-watch.
Sci-Fi Maximum Ride: The Manga, Vol. 1 “Max” is a human-avian hybrid who has escaped from a science lab along with her Flock, only to face new horrors in their attempts to rescue a kidnapped sibling and uncover tough truths. A great adaptation for fans of the bestselling series of YA novels, but accessible enough for first-timers visiting Max’s world.
Slice Of Life Elle(s) Vol. 1: The New Girl Elle is a typical teenage girl, balancing her social life, school work, and family obligations — or is she? With stunning, cinematic artwork, Elle(s) is a great way to start conversations about high school pressures and mental health.
Slice of Life Sheets Marjorie struggles to balance middle school bullying, supporting her father and brother, and managing the family laundromat — while also suffering enormous grief after her mother’s death. Enter Wendell, a literal ghost who floats in and adds one more complication to this quiet tale...
Superheroes Dark Knight: Batman Undercover When a doomsday weapon capable of multi-planet destruction goes missing, Batman must go undercover to a Villain Crime Convention to crack the case. This chapter book features many classic DC heroes and villains that young readers will love.
Superheroes Quince: The Definitive Bilingual (Español) Ed When Lupe ignites with unexpected powers just before her quinceañera, her once-boring life becomes a little too exciting! Can she successfully balance school, family, social responsibilities and, oh yea, saving the school from a powerfully troubled classmate?
Slice of Life Kyle's Little Sister Grace is tired of being nothing more than her popular brother Kyle’s little sister. That becomes more complicated when she begins attending the same school and their social groups intermingle, resulting in an engaging tale about bullies, crushes, and all the pitfalls of school life.
Slice of Life Big Nate: Complete Vol #1 Tales of middle school mayhem from the perspective of the hilarious Nate Wright: wannabee cartoonist, self-described genius, and all around tiny menace. This collection includes rare strips from the Sunday newspapers, making it fun for new and continuing Big Nate fans.
I Am Their Silence With an awesomely complex (and infectiously likable) lead, and a number of modern twists on some classic noir tropes, the story ultimately becomes as much a circuitous (yet tender) unpacking of a struggle with mental illness as it is a seemingly classic murder mystery story.
The Shaolin Cowboy: Beginning of the End Results--21 Years of Blood, Sweat, and Chainsaws This is exactly the kind of book you get when you let a mad genius like Darrow have total creative control! Funny as it is grim, beautiful as it is unsettling… slick, violent, with a thousand WTF moments, and oh so punny, this is a legendary piece of comics history.
Battle Royale Deluxe Edition, Vol. 1 From Gantz to Danganronpa to the much more recent Immortality and Punishment, there is hardly a book in this category since that doesn’t owe some debt to Takami-san and Taguchi-san’s bloody, erotic classic.
H.P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Out of Time Those well versed in Lovecraft’s works will know Shadow Out of Time as one of his more bizarre stories in an already bizarre retinue, but the artwork is just so “compellingly grounded” it keeps the reader rooted firmly in the horrific nature of what’s essentially the ultimate body snatching/body horror story.
Swimming at Midnight Bravely confronting society’s notion that “a woman who wants to control her life is always asking too much,” the result is a courageous exploration of camaraderie, motherhood, and social justice — but ultimately, it’s about the powerful transformation of finding meaning in your fears.
Polygon Green tech and AI responsibility, self-reliance and sustainability, urbanization and utopias, upcycling and DIY, community consciousness and constructive rebellion… this book touches on all these concepts and then some!
FolkLore - The Fox's Tale It’s the kind of book that encourages you to slow down and explore all its subtle intricacies throughout, and feels like a budding version of similar artists like James Stokoe, Tom Parkinson-Morgan or even the great Geof Darrow.
Indigenous Peoples of North America: Haudenosaunee From the shared languages that unite their various peoples, to their more ubiquitous shared history of displacement and resettlement, there’s more relevant Native American history in just a handful of these pages than, sadly, I was ever exposed to in my own childhood education.
