    Interior Artist: Kelley Jones
    Cover Artist: Kelley Jones

Yet, there is one in the Order of Ibis who grows suspicious of Thoth's solicitous relations with the prince and the increasing amount of royal blood mysteriously spilt. Will this young priest discover the truth about Thoth in time to save the King, or will the snake-god Set sink its fangs into the last, best hope for peace in a war-torn land?

    Conan's greatest adversary matures into a mighty doer of evil in this penultimate issue of the series chronicling Thoth's origins for the first time!

    Being a celebrity has its benefits . . . and its costs.

What begins as a lark soon turns into a harrowing struggle, and Concrete must decide whether to dispassionately observe or to join these people who would risk anything, even life itself, to save the planet.

    Called "the best comic being published by anyone, anywhere,"Paul Chadwick's critically acclaimed Concrete is at once rousing fantasy and grounded reality, as thought-provoking and challenging as it is entertaining. Think Like a Mountain collects the 1996 Parents' Choice Award winning series along with bonus short stories, some collected here for the first time.
    Collects: Think Like a Mountain #1-6; short stories: "Like Disneyland, Only Toxic," "Stay Tuned for Pearl Harbor," "A Billion Conscious Decisions," "Objects of Value," "Steel Rain," various "A Sky of Heads" stories.

    ALIENS: DNA WAR

    Publisher:
    DH Press Books
    Writer: Diane Carey
    Interior Artist:
    Cover Artist:

    In an inhospitable galaxy, Rosamond 6 seems to have everything needed for human habitation: a moon, an atmosphere, a thriving biosystem. But although it looks like an oasis, the planet harbors a fatal secret: murderous aliens that have wiped out every life form in their path. Anthropologist Jocasta Malvaux is eager to prove her theory that the aliens can be reasoned with, so she sets up an observation post on Rosamond 6. Amazingly, when the monsters become aware of Malvaux and her expedition, they don't attack. What's the reason behind the Aliens' seeming lack of concern for the humans? Are they evolving? Or are they simply lying in wait? Expanding on Ridley Scott's classic film, Aliens: DNA War continues the chilling saga of the intrepid men and women who fight to stay alive against an opponent that sleeps, breathes, and breeds with just one goal: to kill.

It is believed that this lethal group of terrorists can take over the minds and bodies of almost anyone. Used as tools to commit crimes against the state, the victims are unaware of who or what is controlling them. When Major Kusanagi captures one of the victims, she hacks into his cyberbrain to learn the ringleader's identity-what she discovers leads her on a journey deep into the heart of cyberspace, a journey that shakes her to the core.

    Cover Artist: Yoshitaka Amano

    When a floating city becomes the target of a rash of vampire attacks, only one man can restore the oasis.

    "The City," a tiny metropolis of a few hundred sheltered citizens floating serenely on a seemingly random course a few feet above the ground, has long been thought safe from the predation of marauding monsters. It seemed like a paradise.

    A paradise shattered when an invasion of apparent vampires threatens the small haven. While the Vampire Hunter known only as "D" struggles to exterminate the scourge, a former denizen of the city, the attractive Raleigh Knight, and the brash John M. Brassalli Pluto VIII seize control of the city lurching it onto a new and deadly course. D's travails are just beginning.

    ROY THOMAS ANTHEM #2

    Publisher:
    Heroic Publishing
    Writer: Roy Thomas
    Interior Artists: Daniel Acuna, Jorge Santamaria Garcia
    Cover Artist: Jorge Santamaria Garcia

    WORLD WAR II-- YOU ONLY THINK YOU KNOW WHO WON!
    ANTHEM, by Roy Thomas and artists Daniel Acuna and Jorge Santamaria Garcia, is a darker saga of an alternate Earth--and of the super-heroes who were created to save it. In this world, "Pearl Harbor" wasn't just an attack by Japanese planes on a sleepy Hawaiian base--it was a full-blown assault on the US West Coast by Imperial Japanese forces spearheaded by a towering monster that could mop up the ocean with Godzilla--and on the East Coast by Nazi shock troops--and ray-firing flying saucers!

    Driven back into the American interior, the desperate US survivors spawned Project Anthem--creating a handful of young super-heroes some of whose powers and names reflected the words of "The Star-Spangled Banner": Dawns Earlylight, Amerindian super-archeress--Stars & Stripes, two twins with very special abilities--"Rockets" Redglare, a flaming human rocket--Bomb-Burst, a very explosive warrior--Liberty, a living incarnation of the proud Statue the enemy destroyed in New York Harbor--and Stonewall Jackson, a living being of rock from south of the Mason-Dixon line. Led by the mysterious Agent 76, they battle the forces that have conquered Europe and Asia and now mean to trample America as the last hold-out of freedom... and they've got the powers to do it!

    Only thing is, the Axis forces have been devoping super-beings of their own--and they have an ace up their sleeve that will give even Agent 76 and the young heroes of Anthem a run for their money.

    It has been proven: NEXTWAVE is better than soap! NEXTWAVE has super heroes. Soap doesn’t. NEXTWAVE has Dirk Anger and his evil organization H.A.T.E.. Soap? Nope. NEXTWAVE has a battle between H.A.T.E. and Nextwave in #4. Soap is only at #2 with no H.A.T.E. at all! NEXTWAVE has all of your family members held ransom. Soap doesn’t even know your family. Four out of five dentists prefer Nextwave to soap. In fact, they were so emphatic in their preference, they beat up the fifth dentist and he fell in line. So five out of five dentists prefer NEXTWAVE. So will you!

    "BAKURETSU BALL!"
    The training for young ninjas' survival continues--let the games begin! Tetsuo still demands a showdown with Ricky to prove his skills, so both teams head for a secret ninja island where they will engage in a fierce competition...of tagging each other with a soccer ball and reciting haiku. But what are decidedly non-ninja Arthur and Maddie doing there? And why does Meppy get to be the referee?
