Mark Antonelli, a failed young writer looking down the barrel at
thirty, is planning a cross-country road trip. He buys a beat-up
old tour bus. He hires a young army vet to drive it. He puts out an
ad for others to join him along the way. But this will be a road
trip like no other: His passengers are all fellow disheartened
souls who have decided that this will be their final journey-upon
arrival in San Francisco, they will find a cliff with an amazing
view of the ocean at sunset, hit the gas, and drive out of this
world. The unlikely companions include a young woman with a chronic
pain sensory disorder and another who was relentlessly bullied at
school for her size; a bipolar, party-loving neo-hippie; a gentle
coder with a literal hole in his heart and blue skin; and a poet
dreaming of a better world beyond this one. We get to know them
through access to their texts, emails, voicemails, and the daily
journal entries they write as the price of admission for this trip.
By turns tragic, funny, quirky, charming, and deeply moving,
Together We Will Go explores the decisions that brings these
characters together, and the relationships that grow between them,
with some discovering love and affection for the first time. But as
they cross state lines and complications to the initial plan arise,
it becomes clear that this is a novel as much about the will to
live as the choice to end it. The final, unforgettable moments as
they hurtle toward the decisions awaiting them will be remembered
for a lifetime.

A Hugo Award Nominee! Featuring an introduction by Neil Gaiman! "J.
Michael Straczynski is, without question, one of the greatest
science fiction minds of our time." -- Max Brooks (World War Z) For
four decades, J. Michael Straczynski has been one of the most
successful writers in Hollywood, one of the few to forge multiple
careers in movies, television and comics. Yet there's one story
he's never told before: his own. In this dazzling memoir, the
acclaimed writer behind Babylon 5, Sense8, Clint Eastwood's
Changeling and Marvel's Thor reveals how the power of creativity
and imagination enabled him to overcome the horrors of his youth
and a dysfunctional family haunted by madness, murder and a
terrible secret. Joe's early life nearly defies belief. Raised by
damaged adults-a con-man grandfather and a manipulative
grandmother, a violent, drunken father and a mother who was
repeatedly institutionalized-Joe grew up in abject poverty, living
in slums and projects when not on the road, crisscrossing the
country in his father's desperate attempts to escape the
consequences of his past. To survive his abusive environment Joe
found refuge in his beloved comics and his dreams, immersing
himself in imaginary worlds populated by superheroes whose amazing
powers allowed them to overcome any adversity. The deeper he read,
the more he came to realize that he, too, had a superpower: the
ability to tell stories and make everything come out the way he
wanted it. But even as he found success, he could not escape a dark
and shocking secret that hung over his family's past, a violent
truth that he uncovered over the course of decades involving mass
murder. Straczynski's personal history has always been shrouded in
mystery. Becoming Superman lays bare the facts of his life: a story
of creation and darkness, hope and success, a larger-than-life
villain and a little boy who became the hero of his own life. It is
also a compelling behind-the-scenes look at some of the most
successful TV series and movies recognized around the world.

J. Michael Straczynski, the creator of Babylon 5, joins forces with
rising star artist Shane Davis (Superman/Batman: The Search for
Kryptonite) to create this original graphic novel that gives new
insight into Clark Kent's transformation into Superman and his
first year as The Man of Steel. This is the first in a new wave of
original DC Universe graphic novels, featuring top writers' and
illustrators' unique takes on DC characters.
Chicago is home base for Protectors, Inc., a corporation renting
out super-powered men and women as franchises and heroes and
spokespersons... making money and enjoying prestige and power in a
world without super-powered bad guys. But when one of the
Protectors is found murdered, the trail begins to lead back to one
of his other teammates. None of them want to consider the
possibility that one of their own has turned to the dark side... so
it falls to Lieutenant Detective John Riley to follow the evidence
wherever it goes. His journey will take him into a maze of secrets
going back over seventy years, to the creation of the very first
Protector... and a killer whose identity may threaten the very
existence of Protectors, Inc.!
