NEW GRAPHIC NOVELS

WEDNESDAY 30TH OCTOBER


Tintin fans rejoice! The new ART OF HERGE book has arrived and it looks fantastic - if you're a fan it's definitely one to add to the collection. Also in store is the highly anticipated conclusion of the 'Search' storyarc for Avatar: The Last Airbender - will Zuko ever discover the truth about his mother? Let's hope the answer is inside! I haven't read it yet, but with the release of the trade paperback this week of Brian Wood's MARA series, I'm going to give this unique take on the superhero genre a try. There's also several THOR trades to add to your collection (I'm sure the timing to coincide with the film is just a coincidence ;-), the original Samurai Jack series, and a prequel graphic novel tie in to the popular zombie game 
THE LAST OF US, illustrated by webcomic superstar Faith Erin Hicks!
