WHO DO YOU TRUST? The shapeshifting alien race known as the Skrulls
have infiltrated every branch of the Marvel Universe, from
S.H.I.E.L.D., to the Avengers, and even interplanetary defence
force S.W.O.R.D. As the New Avengers watch leader of the Hand,
Elektra, transform into a Skrull after her death, they come to
realise that an attack is coming, one that has been planned for
many years. From heroes to villains, anyone could be a Skrull in
disguise. Uncertain of who to trust, the team tries desperately to
unite against an unseen foe. But it is too late. The invasion has
begun. A crashed ship in the Savage Land. A prison break at the
Raft. Thunderbolts Mountain under attack. And an armada of Skrull
ships approaching Earth. Scattered and hopeless, heroes and
villains alike must team up to fight a war they never saw coming,
the fallout of which will change the face of the Marvel Universe as
we know it. BASED ON THE BESTSELLING MARVEL EVENT BY BRIAN MICHAEL
BENDIS AND LEINIL FRANCIS YU.

"An elegant, elegiac examination of identity, fictionality, God and
humanity itself"--Tamsyn Muir A multilayered, locked-room science
fiction novella from Paul Cornell in which five digital beings
unravel their existences to discover the truth of their humanity.
"The crew of the Rosebud are, currently, and by force of law, a
balloon, a goth with a swagger stick, some sort of science
aristocrat possibly, a ball of hands, and a swarm of insects." When
five sentient digital beings--condemned for over three hundred
years to crew the small survey ship by the all-powerful
Company--encounter a mysterious black sphere, their course of
action is clear: obtain the object, inform the Company, earn lots
of praise. But the ship malfunctions, and the crew has no choice
but to approach the sphere and survey it themselves. They have no
idea that this object--and the transcendent truth hidden
within--will change the fate of all existence, the Company, and
themselves.
Celestial beings and human witches clash for the future of the
human and fairy worlds in Paul Cornell's Last Stand in Lychford.
There are changes in the air, both in Lychford and in the land of
fairy. The magical protections previously employed by the town are
gone, and the forces of darkness are closing in - both figuratively
and literally. Can Autumn and Lizzie save their community, and...
well, the world...? Exploding fairies, the architect of the
universe and a celestial bureaucratic blunder make this a
satisfying conclusion to the ever-popular Witches of Lychford
series.

The Severed Streets is the second urban fantasy in the Shadow
Police series by bestselling Doctor Who writer, Paul Cornell.
Summer in London: a city in turmoil. The vicious murder of a
well-known MP is like a match to tinder but Detective Inspector
James Quill and his team know that it's not a run-of-the-mill
homicide. Still coming to terms with their new-found second sight,
they soon discover that what is invisible to others - the killer -
is visible to them. Even if they have no idea who it is. Then there
are more deaths. The bodies of rich, white men are found in
circumstances similar to those that set the streets of London awash
with fear during the late 1800s: the Whitechapel murders. Even with
their abilities to see the supernatural, accepting that Jack the
Ripper is back from the dead is a tough ask for Quill's team. As
they try to get to grips with their abilities and a case that's
spiralling out of control, Quill realizes that they have to
understand more about this shadowy London, a world of underground
meetings, bizarre and fantastical auctions, and objects that are
'get out of hell free' cards. But the team's unlikely guide, a
bestselling author, can't offer them much insight - and their other
option, the Rat King, speaks only in riddles. Relying on
old-fashioned police work and improvising with their new skills
only lands them in deeper water, and they soon realize that the
investigation is going to hell - literally. And if they're not
careful, they may be going with it . . .
When an unseen enemy maneuvers the three Doctors into an impossible
meeting, the future of the universe itself is put at stake. It will
take all of the Doctor's innate cunning and adaptability to team up
with his past and present selves to uncover the immensely powerful
culprit, fix the time stream, and right an ancient wrong! What
mysterious event from the Doctors' collective past will have an
unforgettable effect on their future?! Four Doctors is the
blockbuster next chapter in the stunning ongoing adventures of each
Doctor - and also stars TV companion Clara Oswald alongside comics
companions Gabby Gonzalez and Alice Obiefune. It's an unmissable
crossover epic from two creators at the height of their craft!
Before Wolverine can take on Sabretooth again he'll need to build
himself back up, get better and stronger than he's ever been.
When Wolverine finds himself the bargaining chip in a hostage will
follow him forever. How can a berserker fight what he can't see?
How do you ever win against a hive mind capable of creating itself
countless bodies just by using its surroundings? Join forces with
the popular Third Doctor and the infamous U.N.l.T to find out!
Twists and turns ensue with the Doctor, The Brigadier and The
Master along the way as an even older familiar face returns...
In this, the much-anticipated second volume of comic strips
collecting the Seventh Doctor's complete adventures from the pages

adventures yet, throughout the infinity of time and space
'He's gone and written a novel too! I suspect it will be just as
good as everything else he's written, and that's not fair at all.'
- George R. R. Martin, author of Game of Thrones. London Falling,
by Doctor Who screenwriter Paul Cornell, is an exciting urban
gothic mystery, where dark powers gather in the battle for London's
streets. The dark is rising . . . Detective Inspector James Quill
is about to complete the drugs bust of his career. Then his prize
suspect Rob Toshack is murdered in custody. Furious, Quill pursues
the investigation, co-opting intelligence analyst Lisa Ross and
undercover cops Costain and Sefton. But nothing about Toshack's
murder is normal. Toshack had struck a bargain with a vindictive
entity, whose occult powers kept Toshack one step ahead of the law
- until his luck ran out. Now, the team must find a 'suspect' who
can bend space and time and alter memory itself. And they will kill
again. As the group starts to see London's sinister magic for
themselves, they have two choices: panic or use their new
abilities. Then they must hunt a terrifying supernatural force the
only way they know how: using police methods, equipment and
tactics. But they must all learn the rules of this new game - and
quickly. More than their lives will depend on it. Continue the
gritty Shadow Police series with The Severed Streets and Who Killed
Sherlock Holmes? 'An irresistible blend of guns, gangsters, cops
and monsters' - Ben Aaronovitch, author of Rivers of London.

encounter with the Cybermen, the First Doctor stumbles through the

before his death, and who is the mysterious Glass Woman who knows
their true name. The Doctor is reunited with Bill, but is she all
she seems? And can he hold out against the coming regeneration?

Andrew Waggoner has always hung around with the losers in his
school, desperately hoping each day that the school bullies -- led
by Drake -- will pass by him in search of other prey. But one day
they force him into the woods, and the bullying escalates into
something more; something unforgivable; something unthinkable.
Broken, both physically and emotionally, something dies in
Waggoner, and something else is born in its place. In the hills of
the West Country a chalk horse stands vigil over a site of ancient
power, and there Waggoner finds in himself a reflection of rage and
vengeance, a power and persona to topple those who would bring him
low. Paul Cornell plumbs the depths of magic and despair in this
brutal exploration of bullying in Margaret Thatcher's England.
