BAD KIDS GO TO HELL<br />
A construction crew unearths a primal, supernatural force when they break ground for a<br />
new, commemorative library for Crestview Academy, a prestigious Midwestern prep-school<br />
and home to the spoiled offspring of the city's social elite. Three years later, six of<br />
Crestview's richest (and hottest) students are brought together early one Saturday for<br />
detention inside the newly completed library. Bored, the kids talk about their school's<br />
infamous "dark presence," and goad one another into a half-hearted seance. However, the<br />
joke turns deadly when they rouse an angry spirit, and start to die, one-by-one, in horrible<br />
accidents! Yet, as the kids drop like flies, are the murders really the work of an evil<br />
phantom, or has one of these six spoiled brats secretly conspired to bring them all together<br />
for detention in order to "level" the social playing field and do away with the competition?<br />
The Breakfast Club meets The Grudge in this sexy, dark, comedy-thriller mini-series from<br />
scribe Matt Spradlin, co-creator of True Believer for the Sci-Fi Channel and visual effects<br />
coordinator for X-Men 2 and Beowulf, and hot new comic artist Anthony Vargas!<br />

BERSERK VOLUME 31<br />
Escaping the port city of Vritannis is no easy task, for even the finest ship is useless if it can't be<br />
reached, and a horde of Kushan monsters stalks the city's docks. Led by a powerful necromancer<br />
who has mastered both the elements and the monsters of the deep, this hideous brigade may be too<br />

EXURBIA<br />
Gage Wallace's life falls apart when, after breaking up with his girlfriend and having a<br />
heart-to-heart with his television set, he finds himself framed for blowing up his apartment<br />
building — the latest in a string of deadly bombings in this doomed suburb. Neighboring Fat City<br />
fell into the river during an earthquake eight years ago, and ever since, these hapless ex-urbanites<br />
have been waiting for their own town to sink. But now their hopes are renewed by a talking rat,<br />
whose drunken ramblings are taken as prophecy of a better time ahead. Gage finds himself<br />
pursued by well-intentioned friends, bored kids who see Gage's plight as an extension of their<br />
video-game fantasies, and the bloodthirsty Bald Suzie, a local firearms enthusiast whose brother<br />
was killed in a recent explosion. Meanwhile, Gage's girlfriend uncovers the secret that plunged the<br />
once-idealistic teen into his apathetic twenties, involving an anarchist cable-access show and its<br />
mutant host — the hero and mentor that Gage betrayed and left to die at the hands of an angry mob.<br />

Scott Allie is the editor of Hellboy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Umbrella Academy, and The<br />
Goon, and the writer of Solomon Kane and The Devil's Footprints at Dark Horse Comics.<br />
"A complex juggling act of dystopic science fiction, romance gone awry, and murder-mystery<br />
chase scene, Exurbia keeps a lot of balls in the air at all times, but brings them together in an<br />
effective, dramatic, and satisfying climax. It's like Scorsese's After Hours, reimagined by Terry<br />
Gilliam — thoughtful, funny, involving, and human, all in its own off-kilter way." — Kurt Busiek<br />

HARLEQUIN VALENTINE (2ND PRINTING)<br />
In this modern hardcover retelling of a classic commedia dell'arte legend of tomfoolery and<br />
hopeless, fawning love, creators Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, the Newbery Medal-winning The<br />
Graveyard <strong>Book</strong>) and John Bolton (Evil Dead) update the relationship of Harlequin and<br />
Columbine. A buffoon burdened with a brimming heart, Harlequin chases his sensible, oblivious<br />
Columbine around the city streets, having given his heart freely. Consumed with love, the<br />
impulsive clown sees his heart dragged about town, with a charming surprise to bend the tale in a<br />
modern direction.<br />
Gaiman's writing is poetic and as heartfelt as the subject matter. Bolton's art, a combination of<br />
digitally enhanced photorealism and dynamic painting, provides sensational depth with bright<br />
characters over fittingly muted backgrounds. Those who have spent Valentine's Day alone are<br />
aware that the cold February holiday can be hard to swallow. Gaiman and Bolton want you to<br />
know that all it takes is a steak knife, a fork, and a bottle of quality ketchup!<br />
KEY SELLING POINTS:<br />
Neil Gaiman and John Bolton's romance classic is finally back in print!<br />
Neil Gaiman's Coraline was the basis of the hit motion picture of the same name<br />
According to <strong>Book</strong>Scan figures, Neil Gaiman has sold over 3.5 million books in America, and<br />

CONQUEROR WORM AND STRANGE<br />
PLACES<br />
Hellboy Library Edition Volume 3 collects three pivotal stories of Hellboy's journey, as he leaves<br />
behind the world of men and journeys into the unknown: the award-winning Conqueror Worm,<br />
which brings back some of Hellboy's earliest foes, in the story that ends his career with the<br />
B.P.R.D., and marks his first run-in with the fan-favorite masked hero Lobster Johnson; the<br />
haunting fairy tale The Third Wish; and The Island, a dark and surreal glimpse into the true origin<br />
of the Right Hand of Doom and Hellboy's own destiny; along with a new, expanded sketchbook of<br />
never-before-seen Mignola artwork.<br />

HELLBOY: THE ICE WOLVES<br />
In Cancun, Mexico, police investigate a slaughter at a wedding ceremony. In Dublin, Ireland, the<br />
clientele of a backstreet pub are found dead. In Kyoto, Japan, the bullet train pulls into the station<br />
with blood-spattered windows. It is the time of the Black Sun. Across the world, the wolves are<br />
calling to each other. Locked in bodies that had no idea they were there, they rise from the depths<br />
of the unconscious and turn towards America! For Hellboy, it's a race against time to prevent a<br />
devastating wave of primal savagery washing across the land. And so he is drawn to Boston's<br />
Beacon Hill and the Grant Mansion, believed to be the most haunted house in New England,<br />
where the truth may lie buried.<br />

INSOMNIA CAFE<br />
Peter Kolinsky is among the world's foremost experts on rare books, so expert that he had a<br />
prestigious job at one of the country's biggest auction houses, until black-market dealers took an<br />
interest in him. Since losing his job and narrowly avoiding jail time, Peter's lived a lonely life in a<br />

The stories are legendary, the characters unforgettable, the world horrible and disturbing. Howard<br />
Phillips Lovecraft may have been a writer for only a short time, but the creations he left behind<br />
after his death in 1937 have shaped modern horror more than any other author in the last two<br />
centuries: the shambling god Cthulhu, and the other deities of the Elder Things, the Outer Gods,<br />
and the Great Old Ones, and Herbert West, Reanimator, a doctor who unlocked the secrets of life<br />
and death at a terrible cost. In Lovecraft Unbound, more than twenty of today's most prominent<br />
writers of literature and dark fantasy tell stories set in or inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft.<br />

MISERY OBSCURA: THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF<br />
EERIE VON (1981-2006)<br />
From the deepest depths of punk rock's 1970s primordial wastelands, through the stygian goth<br />
swamps of the 1980s, and on into the bloodstained arenas of 1990s heavy metal, Eerie Von<br />
witnessed it all. Beginning as the unofficial photographer for punk legends The Misfits and later<br />
taking charge of the bass guitar as a founding member of underground pioneers Samhain and<br />
metal gods Danzig, the evil eye of Eerie Von's camera captured the dark heart of rock's most vital<br />
and bleeding-edge period, a time when rock and roll was not only dangerous, but downright<br />
menacing. Eerie Von's lens has documented everything from The Misfits' humble beginnings in<br />
Lodi, New Jersey, to the heights of Danzig's stadium-rock glory alongside metal superstars<br />
Metallica. As well as an essential visual document of music history, Eerie's road stories of triumph<br />
and damnation bring to life an era the likes of which will never again be seen.<br />
KEY SELLING POINTS:<br />

THE CHRONICLES OF CONAN VOLUME 18<br />
Taking over writing duties on Conan the Barbarian in the early 1980s, Bruce Jones brought his<br />
humor and horror sensibilities — as well as his knack for telling great short stories — to the title,<br />
invigorating John Buscema, who returned to work on the series with Conan #136. In Chronicles of<br />
Conan: Isle of the Dead and Other Stories, these two comic-book titans lead Conan on a thrilling<br />
tour of Hyboria — from the monster-infested Bossonian Marshes to the hideous slave markets of<br />
Belthem — as Conan encounters strange, supernatural foes, beguiling women, and overconfident<br />
rulers.<br />
KEY SELLING POINTS:<br />
Stories like "The River of Death," "Titan's Gambit," and the two-part "Spider Isle" adventure are<br />
meticulously restored and recolored, and Jones and Buscema are joined by such talents as Ernie<br />
Chan, Mark Silvestri, Val Mayerik, Alfredo Alcala, and others.<br />
This volume collects Conan the Barbarian issues #135 to #142, including all original series<br />
covers.<br />

THE GROO TREASURY VOLUME 1<br />
Originally conceived as a parody of the high-adventure, sword-and-sorcery genre, Sergio's<br />
well-intentioned but endlessly destructive (and, uh, dumb) warrior has starred in over 150 issues,<br />
befriended (and, in many cases, beheaded) an ever-expanding cast of characters, eaten countless<br />
bowls of cheese dip, and left an impressive tally of ill-fated comic-book publishers in his wake<br />
over nearly three decades. If you've ever wondered what this Groo character is all about, tried to<br />
untangle his early publishing history yourself, or wondered what exactly it is that Mark Evanier<br />
does for this book, wait no longer! Look upon Groo's works, ye mighty, and despair!<br />

GROOM LAKE<br />
The truth is out... er, under there? In the remote Nevada desert there sits a dry lakebed called<br />
Groom Lake, and under that land resides a secret base that holds all the secrets of the world.<br />
Not this world, either. Karl Bauer's father disappeared on him a year ago, but he didn't just<br />
“go out for cigarettes” in the usual way of abandoning his kid. Turns out his father was an<br />
alien abductee who was sent back with altered DNA that has forever changed Karl's life,<br />
too. Karl is drawn — okay, taken — to a secret base under Groom Lake in Nevada where he's<br />
drawn into a plot to weaponize alien technology in the form of a new Manhattan Project.<br />
Karl, who is befriended by a cynical female worker and a group of unpredictable aliens,<br />
leads an escape from the base even while closely pursued by a worldwide organization that<br />
will kill to preserve the greatest secret in (in-)human history. There's nowhere on the planet<br />
to hide and beyond even that, Karl faces the twin threats of his altered DNA and a group of<br />
aliens whose true motivations are otherworldly, to say the least.<br />

MICE TEMPLAR VOLUME 1<br />
Before their fall, the Templar preserved the order of the natural world, maintaining the<br />
balance of life and death for all creatures. But an ideological dispute pitted the noble<br />
brotherhood against itself, where they destroyed themselves in a vicious civil war. Chaos<br />
descended in their wake, where predatory and scavenger creatures now reign supreme<br />
bringing anarchy to the night world of the Shadow Time. Karic soon learns of an ancient<br />
prophecy that one mouse will be chosen to recreate the heroic exploits of the past, and<br />
thereby save his family and his people. But Karic's calling soon makes him both a target of<br />
his enemies, and a tool to be exploited by those seeking to use the savior of all for their own<br />
schemes. And thus begins the first chapter in an extraordinary adventure of magic and<br />
wonder, faith and valor, and of one small mouse whose destiny might change the entire<br />
world.<br />

Fusing mythology, werewolves, and vampires with a story loaded with mystery, action, and<br />
romance, the Anita Blake novels take place in a world where vampires, werewolves, and<br />
other creatures of nightmare have been declared legal citizens of the United States. Anita<br />
Blake is an "animator" — a profession that involves raising the dead for a living. She is also<br />
known as a fearsome hunter of criminal vampires, and she moonlights by investigating cases<br />
that are far too much for "conventional" police. But as Anita gains the attention of the<br />
vampire masters in her hometown of St. Louis, she also risks revealing an intriguing secret<br />
about herself — the source of her unusual strength and power. Watch as Anita goes up<br />
against fierce obstacles and is forced to make tough choices. What price will Anita pay in<br />
order to save her friend's life and solve the Vampire Murders? Will she actually kiss Phillip?<br />
How far will Edward go in order to find out where the daytime resting place of the Master<br />
Vampires truly is?<br />

DJURDJEVIC COVER<br />
In September, 1939 a new voice hit the newsstands and changed the comic-book world<br />
forever: Marvel Comics #1, with its blazing Human Torch cover, had arrived! And this<br />
64-page pulp package wasn't your typical assortment of super-powered, straight-laced,<br />
do-gooders — this was something completely new. The amazing android creation of Dr.<br />
Phineas Horton, the Human Torch was neither man nor hero — he was a blazing force of<br />
nature that shocked and unsettled mankind. Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, the<br />
half-human/half-Atlantean, ventures from his undersea kingdom into the world of man — not<br />
with a mind set on peace, but towards vengeance! These two characters would form the<br />
foundation for the style of conflicted hero that defines Marvel to this day, and you'll see<br />
them evolve across twelve full issues from their raw forms into the battling fire and water<br />
mega-hits of the Golden Age! Featuring an extensive essay on Marvel's pulp magazine<br />
pre-history, publisher Martin Goodman, and the birth of Marvel Comics by noted historian<br />
Will Murray, and topped off with special bonus features including original artwork and<br />
items never seen since 1939, this collection forms the cornerstone of Marvel history<br />

improbable core of the ever-changing super-team. But it was three issues later when, from<br />
the ice of the northern Atlantic, Captain America returned from the frozen depths that the<br />
Avengers truly took form. Now, the epic story continues in Volume 2 with appearances by<br />
by Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Man, and more!<br />

polices. Now, it's happening again... but on a much larger scale. The people of Chicago —<br />
men, women, and children — are dying in the streets, victims of a monster whose thirst for<br />
slaughter cannot be quenched, whose soul is a bottomless void, and whose scars run even<br />
deeper than Nighthawk's. Long ago, Kyle Richmond looked into the face of madness — now,<br />

X-MEN NOIR GN<br />
"The coroner's men flipped the redheaded corpse over so Dukes and Magnus from Homicide<br />
could get a better look at her. 'Better' being a relative term in this case, with the claw marks<br />
that slashed her face into a featureless, bloody mask and turned her guts into a butcher shop<br />
explosion." But the tattoo — the simple, encircled 'X' above the left shoulder blade —<br />
remained intact, and Dukes pointed it out with the toe of his wingtip once Peter the rookie<br />
was done heaving up lunch. "See this ink?" he said. "Means she did time at this reform<br />
school upstate, run by this shrink, Xavier..."<br />

X-MEN: WOLVERINE/GAMBIT PREMIERE<br />
HC<br />
The feral X-Man and the ragin' Cajun — as interpreted by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, the<br />
award-winning creators of Daredevil: Yellow, Superman: For All Seasons, and Batman:<br />
Dark Victory!<br />
Warrior. Ronin. Soldier. Mutant. Logan knows little of his past, save that it was fraught with<br />
pain and loss. Today, Wolverine is an X-Man — using his animal-keen senses, accelerated<br />
healing factor, and razor-sharp claws to help protect a world that fears and hates mutants!<br />
Always an outsider, Gambit was shunned as a youth because of his strange, burning-red<br />
eyes. Eventually, Remy LeBeau realized he was a mutant, possessed of the ability to charge<br />
inanimate objects with explosively released biokinetic energy. A reformed thief and<br />
charming scoundrel, the ragin' Cajun always has a card up his sleeve! Now, these two<br />
outlaw heroes have been drawn together by a string of brutal slayings that may mark the<br />
return of the 19th-century serial killer called Jack the Ripper! Is it merely coincidence that<br />
finds Remy and Logan in London, or does one of these enigmatic outsiders have an ulterior<br />
motive?<br />

Agnes Haversham is awake, and Jack is worried (and not a little afraid). The Torchwood<br />
