First there were three: Octavia, Charlotte, and Rosalyn, a trio of
badass hit-women who picked up the slack when the going got too
real for other so-called top-level assassins. But things happened.
Octavia hung up her semi-automatic for a semi-lucrative kidnapping
insurance scam. Charlotte chose an expensive Chardonnay, love,
marriage and, until recently, a baby carriage. And Rosalyn? There's
a lot of conspiracies, but according to the federal government,
she's simply M.I.A. When a kidnapping hits too close to home,
Octavia is forced out of retirement and back into the
bounty-hunting business. Down two partners, she recruits her son
Dominic and his boyfriend Taylor to aid and abet her in a semester
of murder-based work study, where she'll teach them everything she
knows (if she can get them to put down the video games, stop making
out, and actually focus on the mission already). Can this
dysfunctional modern family pull off the greatest mission in the
history of the ASSASSINISTAS? Collects the complete miniseries,
issues #1-6.
This fall will see the release of the first in an annual series of
two-volume boxed sets (1950-1952 and 1953-1954) at a reduced price.

Prepared by renowned Howard scholar Paul Herman with the assistance
of Glenn Lord, this is the first new bibliography of Robert E.
Howard since 1976. This massive volume contains more than twice as
much information as the preceding biblio, The Last Celt. Robert E.
Howard is considered the Godfather of Sword and Sorcery, and the
creator of the international icon, Conan the Cimmerian, yet wrote
successfully in numerous genres. The Neverending Hunt lists every
story, poem, letter and publication in which a Howard work has
appeared. It's more than you might think . . .
What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population
manifested superpowers called "Quirks"? Heroes and villains would
be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to
use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy
of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent
who were born Quirkless? Midoriya has learned a few tricks from
Gran Torino, but some things just have to be experienced to be
understood. Even though he's not ready, when the League of Villains
attacks in the town of Hosu, Midoriya rushes to help Ida, who is
engaged in a life-or-death struggle with Hero Killer Stain. Stain
has some very particular ideas about heroes and their place in
society-and he means to purge every hero he can find!
Video store clerk Darla Vogel is fed up, until one of her
customers, a precocious home-schooled kid, offers her some of his
meat-tinged candies. Darla takes a plunge down the rabbit hole into
a surreal world of throbbing, veinous buildings, compulsory public
nudity, weird creatures and more. If William S Burroughs, Lewis
Carroll, H.P. Lovecraft and Harvey Kurtzman had a mutant lovechild,
it might resemble Bob Fingerman s bold new confection, Connective
Tissue. Fingerman, a cartoonist and novelist best known for an
acclaimed graphic novel (Beg the Question, a Gen X classic) and an
acclaimed prose novel (Bottomfeeder), merges the disciplines in
Connective Tissue, a genre-bending and medium-mixing work best
described as a fully illustrated novella."

Threatened by Tempest's rapid expansion, the Eastern Empire finally
begins to strike back. According to Chloe, the time-traveling Hero,
there exists a timeline in which the Empire defeats Rimuru and
Tempest subsequently collapses. While Rimuru's doom isn't set in
stone, his victory isn't a foregone conclusion either. And to make
matters worse, an Empire spy seems to have infiltrated Tempest...
The blockbuster danmei/Boys' Love novels from China that inspired
the animated Scumbag System series streaming in English! This
hilarious story of a man reborn as a villain in a fantasy novel
series who ends up romancing the male protagonist is now in
English, for the very first time. Half-demon Luo Binghe rose from
humble beginnings and a tortured past to become unrivaled in
strength and beauty. With his harem of over three hundred wives,
and dominion over both the human and demonic realms, he is truly
the most powerful protagonist-in a trashy web novel series! At
least, that's what Shen Yuan, online alias "Peerless Cucumber,"
believes as he finishes reading the final chapter in Proud Immortal
Demon Way. But when a combination of rage and a poor meal choice
leads to his death, Shen Yuan finds himself reborn into the world
of the web novel, in the body of Shen Qingqiu-the beautiful but
cruel teacher to a young Luo Binghe. Although as Shen Qingqiu, he
now has incredible power and abilities as a cultivator, he's
destined to be horrifically punished for crimes against the
protagonist, so this new Shen Qingqiu has only one course of
action: get into Luo Binghe's good graces before the young man's
rise to power. That's the only way he'll escape the awful fate of a
true scum villain! This Chinese fantasy (xianxia) comedy built
around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) has been
translated into numerous languages and inspired the animated series
Scumbag System, which amassed millions of streaming
views--including the English version on YouTube through Tencent
Video. As the first novel series by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu to spur a
global multimedia franchise, this incredibly fun tale led the way
to her future blockbusters in the danmei genre: Grandmaster of
Demonic Cultivation and Heaven Official's Blessing. The Seven Seas
English-language edition will include exclusive, all-new covers and
interior illustrations from Xiao Tong Kong (Velinxi) and feature a
translation by Faelicy (faelicy) & Lily (lily_ocho).
