Now Moore's defining run on WildC.A.T.s is collected into a single volume, collecting WILDC.A.T.S. #21-34, plus a story from issue #50, featuring the impressive art of Travis Charest and other fine artists who provide breathtaking visuals. Alan Moore took the WILDC.A.T.S back to their roots and stirred up the WildStorm Universe considerably, creating a perfect starting point for catching up the flagship WildStorm superhero team. It's a tale filled with unsettling revelations and gripping drama - and the introduction of one of WildStorm's great villains: Tao!

Finally collected, here is one of Alan Moore's greatest works and his most critically acclaimed novella of all time, painstakingly adapted to comic books. Moore's frequent collaborator Antony Johnston has carefully preserved the story as it is presented in sequential form with stunning grey-painted art by sensations Lorenzo Lorente and Sebastian Fiumara. What would you pay to learn the innermost secrets of wizards? Young prostitute Som Som has made the ultimate sacrifice; literally sworn to secrecy by cosmetic surgery, the two halves of Som Som's brain have been severed, leaving her able to hear and see... but not speak or act. Now Som Som's unique attributes will put her firmly in the center of an impossible dilemma, as an old friend return to The House Without Clocks, and a deadly game of domination begins... This collected volume contains the entire four issue series, the full text of the original story, and both artist's original design sketches.

Alan Moore, master and magician of storytelling, tears back the veil of one of the most arcane of enchantments - the Magic of Television. Part grimoire, part grim invocation of things that are all too ordinary, this beautiful 48-page novella is stunningly painted by Felipe Massafera. Maureen Cooper is not real. She is an apparition summoned to screens, into homes, into the hearts and mind of the viewing audience by Carol Livesly. But Carol Livesly is not the god that creates the illusions that capture the mind and bind the soul. She is only a servant of a higher power. A higher, hungry power, as old as the world and eternally new. As, perhaps, are we all... Light of Thy Countenance, an original and breathtaking story by Alan Moore, has been adapted to graphic novella format by Antony Johnston preserving every word, and each page has been painstakingly painted by Felipe Massafera to create this comics masterpiece. Available in a standard Softcover and a limited edition Hardcover, of just 2,000 copies, both with covers by Massafera. [Alan Moore, Antony Johnston & Felipe Massafera]

When Alan Cope was eighteen, he joined the army and went off to fight in World War II. Like every American, he felt a patriotic fervor burning in him after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. But he had little idea what he was getting into by enlisting. This graphic memoir tells the story of his life during wartime, of his journey from his home on the west coast to basic training in Kentucky to leave in New York City, to the battlefields of France, to the terrors of the Bulge and General Patton's drive on Germany and Prague. Told with poignant intimacy and matchless artistry, Alan's War was born from a friendship between Alan and the graphic novel creator Emmanuel Guibert, who created a deeply personal and moving graphic novel from the stories Alan told him of his wartime experiences. An award-winner when it was serialized in Guibert's native France, this moving story of an American's experiences during the Second World War now finds its audience in his homeland.

Kochalka invented the daily diary comic strip, spawning a grassroots comix movement that swept the globe, and his attempt to document the minutia of his life results in work that explores the full spectrum of human emotions. Drawn with verve and confidence by a cartoonist at the height of his powers, it is ambitious, hilarious, moving, and quite addictive! Book 1 follows the ups and downs of Kochalka's life through five full years of the strip (October 26, 1998 to December 31, 2003), and also includes 32 full-color pages of supplementary comics and other artwork. Book 2 reprints all the strips from 2004 and 2005, and Book 3 covers 2006 and 2007. [(W/A/CA) James Kochalka]

Kochalka's diary strip has always been entertaining, but this might be the most action-packed volume of all. His neighbor's car gets firebombed, his little son Eli learns how to invent his own swears (like ""pump duck""), and James gets a gun pointed at his face. Most dramatic of all, this volume will introduce a new character, a new little baby Kochalka! Ooohs and aaahs abound. This collection prints all the diary strips from 2006-2007 in gorgeous full-color, including numerous strips that never appeared online.

It's the long-awaited return of James Kochalka's massively influential and deceptively ambitious autobiography, American Elf. Every day of his life is captured in a single comic strip, sometimes profound and sometimes silly, but always full of the earnest Kochalka passion. In this collection, spanning the years 2008-2011, James becomes Cartoonist Laureate, celebrates American Elf's 10th year, pitches a TV show to Hollywood, considers quitting the strip, plays everything from LEGO Star Wars to Skyrim, and kind of causes himself to have a nervous breakdown. Meanwhile Eli starts elementary school and starts a band, Oliver learns to walk and talk (and sing), James and Amy celebrate 15 years of marriage, and the family adopts a new cat, Nooko!

(W) Rene Goscinny (A) Albert Uderzo The eagerly awaited new Asterix book, anticipated by his millions of fans. To celebrate a half-century of Asterix, we have something special for his millions of fans - a fabulous anniversary-themed collection of twelve stories that will become a treasured collectible. The first new album in five years, Livre d""Or is a major exhibition of little-seen work.
(W) Rene Goscinny (A) Albert Uderzo In these fabulous collector's editions of Asterix, six of the best-selling Asterix stories are collected in two volumes. Volume 1 collects Asterix the Gaul, Asterix and the Golden Sickle, and Asterix and the Goths, which introduce the indomitable hero and his friends as they try to defend one small village in Gaul from being conquered by the legionaries of Rome who surround them. Volume 2 continues the series with Asterix the Gladiator, Asterix and the Banquet, and Asterix and Cleopatra.
The last three Asterix stories are collected in one volume for the first time ever! In Asterix and The Actress, we see Asterix and Obelix celebrate their joint birthday party back in the Gaulish village - and some surprise guests have been invited! In Asterix and the Class Act we have the story of the creation of Asterix, including the day Asterix and Obelix were born (in the middle of a village fish fight), how Obelix goes back to school and the bid for the very first Gaulish Olympics. In Asterix and the Falling Sky the Gauls' one fear - that the sky may fall on their heads - looks like it might come true, but our friends soon find themselves in the middle of a space race! [Rene Goscinny & Albert Uderzo]
The series continues, as the fourth, fifth, and sixth titles are gathered in one stupendous volume. In Asterix the Gladiator, our hero has to save his friend Caconofix from getting thrown to the lions. Asterix and the Banquet offers a feast for readers as Asterix and Obelix sample delicacies on a cross-country tip. And in Asterix and Cleopatra, he and the Egyptian queen build a sumptuous palace for Caesar-and outwit the Roman Army, too.
Three great Asterix titles in one! In Asterix and the Big Fight, the Romans persuade a Gaulish chief to challenge Vitalstatistix to single combat - and everyone's caught up in a battle to save their home. Asterix in Britain finds our hero and his friend Obelix rushing to the aid of a British village trying hold out against Roman invaders. But will bad English food, drink, and weather do the Gauls in first? The Gauls face a Norman invasion in Asterix and the Normans. Can Asterix and his friends teach their enemies the meaning of fear?
Three hysterical historical Asterix adventures in one great compilation! Can really bad music make even the sky cry? Find out in Asterix and the Magic Carpet, as he and the world's worst musician attempt to end a drought-and rescue a carpet maker's daughter from death. Women save the day in Asterix and the Secret Weapon, while Asterix and Obelix: All at Sea takes us on a journey to Atlantis after rebellious slaves steal Julius Caesar's own warship.
When someone leaves a little boy in a basket outside Asterix and Obelix's hut, it's two Gauls and a baby! Though Asterix and Obelix have more experience whopping legionnaires than diapering infants, they do their best. Also new to childcare: the sneaky Prefect of Gaul, Crismus Cactus, who's masquerading as a nursemaid. Why do the Romans want this baby? And, what plot is the treacherous Brutus hatching against Caesar? Asterix must find out. [(W/A/CA) Albert Uderzo]
The wonderful village where Asterix and Obelix live has only one drawback: its bard is the worst musician in the ancient world. Whenever Cacofonix strikes up a tune, the sun hides behind the clouds and the rain begins to fall. But, then a fakir flies in on a magic carpet asking for help in ending a terrible drought in his kingdom. Otherwise, his daughter Orinjade will be sacrificed to the gods. Suddenly, Cacofonix's talents come in mighty handy. [(W/A/CA) Albert Uderzo]

RATED T BATMAN: ODYSSEY is back in a new volume from legendary writer/artist Neal Adams! It's finally happened: Batman must kill or be killed. The threat is real and can't be stopped by man or hero. To combat it, Batman must bring time itself to a standstill so that he can embark on an odyssey of self-discovery to a place unknown to mankind, where he can find himself. But is this a place where only failure awaits?
Written by NEAL ADAMS Art and cover by NEAL ADAMS Batman's odyssey has brought him to the underworld, where The League of Assassins has been firmly established for decades! The League is liquidating its enemies to make way for the Sensei to take over his father's kingdom, and after that, the world itself. But if Batman can't conquer his inner demons and learn to save lives by taking them, he may forfeit the war to the League!
Batman has sidestepped death time and time again, but that all ends in this issue with the gut-wrenching reality of the Underworld. It's a surreal - yet all too real - voyage into a personal hell of his own. Batman will never be the same.
Ra's al Ghul's underworld has taken Batman to the brink of cold-blooded murder - now beyond. Will Batman step up to the hard decisions? And what if Robin gets in the way? This is a cold cruel place, this underworld.
Faced with the deaths of Talia, himself and everything Bruce Wayne holds dear, Bruce (Batman) and his new friends Bat Man and Primus have put life on hold to make their way through the strangest place in Earth: the underworld. There, Batman lays his life on the line to find the answer that will save lives - but will the price be his own soul? [(W/A/CA) Neal Adams]
You're about to see the event you never expected to see! Has Batman learned the lesson he was destined to learn? The Sensei, a warrior of the highest caliber, can be defeated only by an act Batman swore he would never commit. Can Bruce Wayne, the Dark Knight detective, put aside his morality for the sake of his city, his world, and the people closest to him? Or is this the last moment for Batman?

Mark Wheaton (W), Joshua Hale Fialkov (W), and Rahsan Ekedal (A) Full Color. 120 pages. TPB, 6 5/8"" x 10 3/16"" In the dark tradition of Los Angeles noir, The Cleaners is the story of a ragtag team of for-hire trauma-scene cleaners led by ex-surgeon Robert Bellarmine. Contracted with sanitizing some of the nastiest crime and accident scenes in the tri-county LA basin, the team battles against what could only be described as the grim, unknowable face of the supernatural. But by focusing on the scientific explanation, no matter how aberrant or extraordinary, they counteract centuries-old superstition to prove things are seldom what they seem . . . In Absent Bodies, Bellarmine and his crew take on a series of gruesome tasks starting with a bloodbath that covers an entire neighborhood. This investigation leads them toward uncovering a disturbing mystery involving missing people-mostly children-which dates back longer than the history of the city itself. o The co-creator/writer of The Cleaners, Mark Wheaton, was also the writer of the new feature film Friday the 13th! o Collects the four-issue miniseries.
