SOMETHING NEW

NEW GRAPHIC NOVELS

AND TRADE COLLECTIONS

15 JANUARY

The week begins with volume one of TEN GRAND, collecting the first story arc of the supernatural pulp noir series. Fans of Constantine and Mike Carey's Felix Castor mysteries should definitely check out this ongoing Image title staring angels, demons, and detectives.  There's also the next INFINITY arc from Marvel, volume one of Dark Horse's new series starring ruthless vigilante X, and my personal favourite, the complete edition of Ursula Vernon's mythical adventure DIGGER. Vernon's work is famous for being both adorable and subversive, and there's a reason why Digger won the prestigious Hugo Award - 

it really is just that good. :)
