Clock Striker, now in graphic novel format, follows Shonen manga's
first Black female lead hero, Cast, in her quest to become a member
of the SMITHS, the legendary warrior engineers. Cast dreams of
being a SMITH, and though she's rather handy with her tools, no one
in her small town ever realizes their dreams. Besides, these
legendary warrior engineers haven't been seen in years and were
never known for having female members. Fortunately, Cast meets one
surviving member named Ms. Philomena Clock, who agrees to take her
on as her apprentice, or striker. Now Cast is thrust into one
deadly adventure after another! From cybernetic desperadoes to
technology thieves and more, Cast has to use her mind and her
remodeled robotics-lab prosthetic hand, which offers unfathomable
offensive power in the form of scientific experiments. Need
lightning? Cast can generate it from her hand! Cast's mentor seeks
to uncover an ominous mystery that explains what happened to the
SMITHS and shines a light on a hidden power that may be within Cast
herself. Can Cast become a new member of the SMITHS? More
importantly, can Cast survive the process to become a SMITH? Clock

Monsters are fake news, right? That's what many of the readers of
the tabloid rag the Yellow Stringer think, but the truth is more
frightening than anyone could possibly know. With front page
stories like the demon baby born in an Iowa hospital or the ghost
that mysteriously haunts cheerleaders from a small West Virginia
town, most people assume that the articles in this national
newspaper are sensationalist entertainment for bored shoppers
waiting at checkout. However, these stories are real, and the
journalists who report on them get the scoop despite the danger
they find themselves in. Promising Columbia Journalism School
graduate Naomi and her partner, ex-cop Tony, two journalists who
have suffered traumatic events at the hands of monsters, now
dedicate their lives to reporting true monster crime. While they
come from two different backgrounds with very different methods to
investigate the truth, they are committed to unearthing the world
of the supernatural. Even if no one in the world ever believes
them, this dynamic team will stop at nothing to reveal the truth!
In this volume, our bickering yet terrific duo have to deal with a
unique version of the headless horseman, the undead, cursed
artifacts, and more! Naomi and Tony may have seen it all, but when
cases start to link up to trauma that only they have experienced,
they're going to stop at nothing to expose the truth. Yellow

To discover what happened to his long-lost mother, unassuming
teenager Nilay Rao must step into a new world, the Massively
Multiplayer World of Ghosts. Coasting through life without ever
spending much effort or committing to anything has made many people
think less of Nilay Rao. The teenager is relatively unassuming, as
he's not the most popular student, nor the hardest working. The
kids call him "Nil," suggesting that he's a loser. But he has
another name, the "biggest cheat," which he's earned from using
cheat codes and hacks in everything from games to grades. But that
all will change when Nilay receives a mysterious device from his
long-lost mother, Dia. Curious about the device, Nilay unwittingly
creates his own "video game" avatar that he names Vyper Neo, which
causes him more stress than he could imagine. The little orange
character has his own personality and gets Nilay and his father
into all sorts of trouble. That's not all-the device itself belongs
to a super-secret group of people who can summon similar video game
avatars called Ghosts to battle over money, territory, and power.
Now that Nilay has it, he has officially become a "player" like
them who can summon his own Ghost in Vyper Neo-and that's made
other players very angry. Can this lackluster teenager survive long
enough to learn where his mother is and why she sent this device?
Vyper Neo and his only human buddy, Chess, have his back, but
taking on this massive new world won't be easy. Like it or not,
Nilay is going to have to play this game to win! The Massively
Multiplayer World of Ghosts is rated T for Teen, recommended for
ages 13 and up. Saturday AM, the world's most diverse
manga-inspired comics, are now presented in a new format!
