    ASTRO BOY VOLUME 1 & 2 TP

    Publisher:
    Dark Horse Comics
    By: Osamu Tezuka

    Dark Horse proudly presents one of the crown jewels of manga--Astro Boy! Created by the late Osamu Tezuka, a revered animator and cartoonist (who created over 150,000 pages of comics in his career!) considered the Walt Disney of Japan, Astro Boy was the first manga series to be adapted to animation and became a worldwide phenomenon, making Astro Boy the Mickey Mouse of anime-a jet-powered, super-strong, evil-robot-bashing, alien-invasion-smashing Mickey Mouse, that is! Exciting, whimsical, and touching, Astro Boy hearkens back to the classic era of comics and animation, featuring stories that readers young and old will enjoy.

    * This special edition combines the first two volumes of the collected Astro Boy, featuring over 400 story pages in one value-priced collection!

    An Astro Boy CGI feature film is scheduled for 2009 worldwide release from Warner Bros.

    CONAN: THE CIMMERIAN #3

    Publisher:
    Dark Horse Comics
    Writers: Timothy Truman
    Pencils: Tomàs Giorello, Richard Corben
    Covers: Frank Cho
    Colorists: Jose Villarrubia

    A young Cimmerian huntress--a character seen in Conan Vol. 0: Born on the Battlefield--and Horsa--an Aesir leader from The Frost Giant's Daughter--both cross paths with Conan as he continues his dangerous trek through the snowy mountain passes of Cimmeria. Fighting his way through the natural dangers of his barbaric homeland has been a welcome change from the mind games and treachery Conan found in the cities of the East, but there's an unfortunate lesson in treachery in store for Conan here, too. In a Richard Corben flashback sequence, Connacht--Conan's grandfather--seems to have found a role for himself working in a busy city, but as the old saying goes, "Fleas will find a dog . . . and trouble will find a Cimmerian."

    Conan the Cimmerian continues Dark Horse Comics' modern revitalization of Robert E. Howard's most beloved character-with another dream team of first-class storytellers!

    CRIMINAL MACABRE: MY DEMON BABY TP

    Publisher:
    Dark Horse Comics
    Writers: Steve Niles
    Pencils: Nick Stakal
    Covers: Tim Bradstreet

    To say that Cal's been through hell and back would be a misstatement. He's been to hell, all right, and he seems to be stuck there for good. When we last checked in on Cal, he and Mo'Lock had just witnessed the vile, horrifying transformation of Cal's lovely ex, Sabrina Lynch, into a minion of the vampire Nosferatu. After that Cal disappeared for a bit, and at the start of our new series, Mo'Lock finds him just in time to lure him off the filthy couch in an abandoned house with an offer he can't refuse-either he gets up and takes a new case, or Mo'Lock will kill him before the drugs can. And what a case it is. Devil worshippers in sunny SoCal are doing their best to bring Satan into the world, and by the looks of things, Cal's already too late. What does one feed a bouncing baby Beelzebub, anyway?

    * From the creator of this fall's biggest box office horror buzz, 30 Days of Night!

    * Collecting the four-issue miniseries.

    Publisher:
    Dark Horse Comics
    Writers: Kazuo Koike
    Pencils: Goseki Kojima
    Covers: Goseki Kojima

    In the politics, struggles, and battles that lead to the birth of a nation, sometimes even good people must die at the hands of allies. And now it's down to only a few warlords of Edo-era Japan. History already tells the story of the victor, but the real guts of Path of the Assassin lie in the characters behind the scenes--the ninja warriors doing the dirty work. Theirs is a story of families and war and intrigue, only far more mysterious and untold.

    * Volume comes shrink-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory.

    Publisher:
    DC Comics/Vertigo
    Writers: David Tischman
    Pencils: Glenn Fabry
    Covers: Glenn Fabry, Ethan Van Sciver (Incentive)

    "COME TOGETHER", Part 1 of 6
    Meet the Mates! They're the greatest super team of all time, straight out of England and into our hearts: Crusader, The Solicitor, Vizier and Zipper. But who are the heroes behind the mania? How did they meet? And what's next for The Mates? You'll find out in this fab 6-issue miniseries written by David Tischman (BITE CLUB) with art by Glenn Fabry (NEVERWHERE, PREACHER and HELLBLAZER covers) that pulls back the curtain to reveal the men behind the masks.

    GREATEST HITS looks at The Mates, from their humble 1960s beginnings, through the drug-fueled 1970s, and into the techno '80s, the grungy '90s, and to the present day. This is The Mates from the height of their glory to the depths of excess, as filmed by a struggling Hollywood director – one with his own dark ties to the team.

    Crossing genres as it crosses the country, Local examines Megan McKeenan, a young woman who sets off from Portland, OR with nothing but a backpack and a bad case of wanderlust. Set in twelve real life cities across the US and Canada, this painstakingly researched and meticulously illustrated volume has earned G4 TV's "indie book of the year" and is "some of the sharpest slices of life the medium has ever seen" says Brian K. Vaughan.
