    Part 2 of 5
    Eric Westfall continues his search for Emma, with the secrets of one of America's biggest intelligence agencies hanging in the balance.

    Tracked by Painter, an agent tasked to ensure that Westfall kills or turns Emma, Westfall finds his mark - but not in any way that he could have predicted...

    With issue # 2 we travel from one exotic locale to the other leaving Cuba behind in issue #1 and moving on to Ibiza for issue #2. This issue sees the introduction of Father Terry O’Flaherty, an ex-Catholic priest with intriguing ways of funding the I.R.A. and our hero’s boss, David Glass.

    Most importantly, Emma makes her debut with this issue in the coolest dance floor fight scene ever to grace the pages of a comic!

    BERSERK VOLUME 17 TP

    Publisher:
    Dark Horse Comics
    By: Kantaro Miura

    Renegade devil-slayer Guts, the Black Swordsman, may be the bane of the demonic realm, but the citizenry of Midland, the kingdom he formerly served, aren't exactly members of his fan club, either. When the holier-than-thou Knights of the Holy Iron Chain capture Guts and decide to whip (literally) some repentance into him, Guts develops a few ideas of his own . . . like taking the Iron Chain's leader hostage and showing her that when Hell comes calling, the only thing worth praying for is a sword!

    Created by Kentaro Miura, Berserk is an out-of-control manga flashfire, a searing epic of blazing action, blasphemous horror, and black humor that has left scorched earth and toasted readers in its fiery wake. Burn, baby, burn!

    Part 4 of 4
    Let's add up just exactly how stupid our intergalactic super zeros are, shall we? Did they blab to a poker-playing group of gangsters about the existence of a priceless idol? Check. And where to find it? Check. And that the key to open its lock box is around Krunk's neck? Check and mate. Suffice it to say, the crooks decide to go all-in and take Krunk's key and snatch the idol from the ultra-hot, and ultra-hot-tempered, Neoki, who's waiting for a mystery buyer to pony up hella cash for the treasured artifact. Of course, big bad Krunk isn't about to give up the key without a lot of collateral damage, and the boys manage to escape the mayhem and head toward the rendezvous with Neoki. With the gangsters in hot pursuit. And with the bounty-hunting Seekers in even hotter pursuit. Maybe all these thugs wouldn't be so eager to catch up if they knew Quinn still has a ticking time-bomb around his neck!

    DIARY OF INDIGNITIES NOVEL

    Publisher:
    Dark Horse Comics/M Press Books
    By: Patrick Hughes

    A hilarious account of life's daily disappointments, as told by blogger Patrick Hughes. From reminiscing about being a teen in the '80s to chronicling another family Christmas with Jello shots, Hughes has the right amount of candor, wit, and perversity for these vignettes to really pack a punch.

    Diary of Indignities first came to public notice on the popular blog Bad News Hughes, where thousands of readers are flabbergasted, disgusted, and amused every day by Hughes's whimsical stories of soul-melting shame. The indignities generated by the author's uncanny life and talent for personal failure include more than your average share of embarrassment, heartbreak, carefree violence, booze, bodily injury, hypochondria, inappropriate nudity, painful rashes, neuroses, colonoscopy procedures, and unpleasant smells, and are all totally true. Well, except for the bits that are really obviously just kind of made up. Most people can tell the difference.

    CRIMINAL #6

    Publisher:
    Marvel Comics
    Writers: Ed Brubaker
    Pencils: Sean Phillips
    Covers Sean Phillips

    A New Storyline! A New Anti-Hero! And a Perfect Place for New Readers to Jump On!

    That’s right, if you’ve been missing out on Criminal up until now, this is your chance to see why the critics have hailed it as Brubaker and Phillips best work! Pick up the first trade collection, for the story of Leo, and then join us in issue #6 for a new beginning as we meet Tracy Lawless, the last surviving son of a once-famous family of crooks (who have been lurking in the background of Criminal since the first issue).

    Twenty years ago, Tracy Lawless traded the crime-ridden streets of the city for a life in the military, and it’s a decision he’s rarely regretted. But now he’s walking out of the deserts of Afghanistan and Iraq and back into the world he grew up in, to find out who killed his brother Rick, and why. But truth is one of the few things uglier than family history, and the only thing Tracy has in his favor as he unravels the twisted strands of the criminal life his brother led, is that no one knows who the hell he is. And what they don’t know, just might kill them. Don’t miss the hard-hitting debut of the next Criminal lead character, in “Lawless” Part 1! And remember, every issue of Criminal is crammed cover to cover with content, including text pieces, back-up stories and noir articles by Brubaker and many other crime writers!
