When they arrive, they're surprised to see frenemy Dakota and Marigold's sister, Florence Unfortunate Nostrils. Their assignment? To write and produce a whole play! Yikes, that's a lot of pressure. Only time will tell if they will be able to work together to make sure the show goes on!
The Brights are back in their second out-of-this-world graphic
novel! From Epic Originals, The Bright Family series teaches
heartfelt lessons about conflict resolution, cooperation, and the
importance of family in all its forms. After searching for each
other throughout the multiverse and repairing their
interdimensional portals together, the Bright family is ready for a
vacation! But relaxing days riding water slides and eating space
ramen are put on hold when the portal drops them deep in the jungle
on an unknown planet rather than at the door of the luxury resort.
Told through multigenerational storytelling, the Brights are about
to figure out that space travel is a lot like space ramen: It
always leaves adventurers wanting more. Includes "One Birthday in
Time," a bonus Bright Family tale outside the main plot line that's
a true moment of delight for readers.

In the middle of the Tokyo Bay, a man known as Shogun has escaped from Umihotaru Prison, a place feared by criminals and convicts as an inescapable iron fort, in order to save the world. He heads off to Tokyo, the city where the girl known as “the Last Hope” lives. But the streets of Tokyo are in turmoil after a murder in Chinatown triggers a chain reaction of terror. The time has come for the false peace created by the Friend to be exposed. What is the truth behind the historic disaster on the last day of 20th century?

Welcome to the Have A Great Spray waterpark! There's slides, rides
and fried ice cream, but that's not the real attraction . . . Meet
Flamingo, Cactus, Donut and Watermelon - four inflatable pool
floats who live in an almost-forgotten pool next to the
Lost-and-Found office. They may have been left behind by their
original owners, but that hasn't stopped them becoming firm (well
actually quite squashy) friends. And of course there's Lynn too,
the traditional blue Lilo who has been floating around since the
park opened. She's been there, done that and got the puncture. But
things don't always go to plan when you're filled with air and live
in a park packed with pointy things. From Walter S. Lide - the
ruthless park owner - to Claws and Paws, the park's stray cats,
everyone is out to burst their bubble. With each day bringing a
fresh wave of drama, life with the inflatables is always guaranteed
to BLOW UP! Featuring TWO stories: Bad Air Day and Mission
Un-poppable. A funny, sunny, splash-tastic new series for readers
6+, featuring a gang of loveable pool floats! Perfect for fans of
The Bad Guys, Bad Kitty, Spongebob and Toy Story. "A pun-tastic,
abundantly silly graphic novel for 6+." The Guardian
From writer Jamila Rowser and artist Robyn Smith comes a
captivating graphic novel about the daily lives of four best
friends in the Bronx, told through five interlocking short stories.
"Wash Day" follows Kim through the quiet self-care rituals of her
wash day-the universal experience shared by Black women of setting
aside all plans and responsibilities for a full day of hair care.
"Group Chat" sees Tanisha filling her many hours at the salon by
texting her friends all her latest gossip. "Bright Side" is a quiet
portrait of Davene missing a hair appointment as she struggles with
her mental health and gets well-meaning, but misguided support from
Cookie. In "La Bendicion," Cookie receives an unexpected request
from her estranged abuela and heals a family rift during a tender
moment of hair care. "Ride or Die" takes place on Saturday night,
when the girls have each other's backs as they head triumphantly to
the club for Kim's big show. Inspired by her own wash day ritual
and a desire to see more comics for and by women of color, Jamila
Rowser collaborated with Robyn Smith to create the critically
acclaimed mini comic, WASH DAY. In expanding the story of Kim and
her friends, the authors pay tribute to Black sisterhood through
portraits of shared, yet deeply personal experiences of Black hair
care. Smith brings these stories to life in her art through
thoughtful color choices, expressive storytelling, and deeply real
characters. Full of tender, relatable, and laugh out loud funny
moments, the stories of WASH DAY DIARIES pay a loving tribute to
the beauty and resilience of Black women's hair and friendships.
Now an animated series with Paramount+ and Nickelodeon! Like a
sudden soccer ball to the gut, this thrilling installment in the
enormously popular Big Nate series will take your breath away! When
you're a sixth-grade dynamo like Nate Wright, life comes at you
fast. Whether it's a soccer ball to the head or another teacher
tirade, surprises lurk around every corner. In this Big Nate
collection, Nate's friends issue the ultimate insult: they point
out all the ways he resembles his arch-nemesis, Gina. Nate also
scores a new job as an intern at Klassic Komix, and his master plan
to carpet-bomb the school with Valentine's Day cards goes seriously
sideways. And when Nate gets dragged into a cringe-worthy party for
the dreaded Mrs. Godfrey, what could possibly go wrong? With
laughs, adventures, and jokes galore, In Your Face! will make your
head spin.

reconnect with their favorite characters and the beloved Minecraft
universe while enjoying a colorfully illustrated story. In this
installment, Runt and his unusual crew-a friendly zombie, a loyal
wolf, and a clumsy human-embark on a quest to defeat the ender
dragon . . . if they can go five minutes without getting lost, that
is. But if vanquishing a legendary boss monster weren't a big
enough challenge, along the way the gang learns of an even more
mysterious enemy lurking just around the corner. The second
installment of this graphic novel series will knock your blocks
off!
The dramatic and hotly anticipated conclusion to Alexis Deacon's
original Geis trilogy, featuring new branding and a format designed
to sit alongside Curse of the Chosen Volume 1. As the great chief
matriarch lay dying, she gave one final decree: Upon her death
there would be a contest. Having no heir of her own blood she
called on the Gods. Let fate decide the one truly worthy to rule in
her place. The rich, the strong, the wise, the powerful; many put
forward their names in hope of being chosen. But when the night
came... only fifty souls alone were chosen. As Io's quest reaches
its deadly and dramatic conclusion, things are not all as they seem
in the sorceress' game for the right to rule. Still trapped inside
the torturous nightmares within the castle, who will remain in the
battle for the throne, and which of the chosen will be lost along
the way? Or will they fail in their attempts to escape the horrors
within? Alexis Deacon draws his Geis trilogy to an epic and emotive
conclusion in this newly branded volume, packed to the rafters with
his beautiful artwork and gripping storytelling.
