DELINQUENTS TP
 Quantum and Woody are the world's worst superhero team. Archer & Armstrong are a mismatched pair of conspiracy-busting adventurers. When a mysterious force collides these ill-suited and irresponsible "heroes" for a cross-country race through the darkest corners of American mythology, all hell is bound to break loose. Can two busted pairs become four of a kind in time to defeat the Hobo King, save the day, and make it back home in time for happy hour? Let's hope so...'cause these guys make a really, really bad team. (And you don't even want to know about the goat.)
It's an all-new superhero joyride from fan-favourite writers James Asmus (Quantum and Woody) and Fred Van Lente (Archer & Armstrong) and heat-seeking artist Kano (Quantum and Woody, Immortal Iron Fist), colliding Quantum and Woody and Archer & Armstrong for the world's most disastrous team-up adventure! Collecting The Delinquents #1-4.

FALL OF CTHULHU OMNIBUS TP
 WHY WE LOVE IT: Michael Alan Nelson has written some of the books we are proudest of: HEXED, 28 DAYS LATER, DAY MEN, and more. FALL OF CTHULHU was his first epic for BOOM! and we're reprinting it all in one grand volume!
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: Do you like Cthulhu stories? Nelson's epic was hailed by Leverage creator John Rogers as "the definitive Cthulhu in graphic novel format." Never before has H.P. Lovecraft's world been presented in such an expansive and complex way.
