How can Batman protect his city and those he's closest to? 
 BLANKETS GN NEW EDITION

From the artist of MARCH, SWALLOW ME WHOLE is a love story carried by rolling fog, terminal illness, hallucination, apophenia, insect armies, secrets held, unshakeable faith, and the search for a master pattern to make sense of one's unraveling. Two adolescent stepsiblings hold together amidst schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder, family breakdown, animal telepathy, misguided love, and the tiniest nugget of hope that the heart, that sanity, that order itself will take shape again.
  BURN THE ORPHANAGE TP VOL 01 BORN TO LOSE 

Collecting the critically-acclaimed trilogy that kicks off a love letter to the games of yesteryear, BORN TO LOSE chronicles orphan Rock's journey as he fights his way through the mean streets for revenge. This collected edition includes pages of never-before-seen art and loads of extras! Collects BURN THE ORPHANAGE: BORN TO LOSE #1-3  
COMPLETE PEANUTS HC VOL 21 1991-1992 

Peanuts enters its final decade, and The Complete Peanuts enters its homestretch, with material that is perhaps the most neglected of Schulz's career. Schulz's cartooning has never looked more confident, and his sense of humor never more unrestrained. This latest volume includes an introduction by Tom Tomorrow plus scholarly essays about this most over-looked period in the Peanuts canon. 
COMPLETE PEANUTS TP VOL 01 1950-1952 

THE FIRST PAPERBACK VOLUME OF THE BESTSELLING SERIES!

This first volume, covering the first two and a quarter years of the strip, features hundreds of strips rarely reprinted before this series. Three major cast members - Schroeder, Lucy, and Linus - initially show up as infants and only "grow" into their final "mature" selves as the months go by. Even Snoopy debuts as a puppy! The Complete Peanuts offers a unique chance to see a master of the art form refine his skills and solidify his universe, day by day. This volume is rounded out with Garrison Keillor's introduction, a biographical essay by David Michaelis (Schulz and Peanuts) and an in-depth interview with Schulz conducted in 1987 by Gary Groth and Rick Marschall.

Imagine that you are a shy, quiet college student. Just an average guy trying to get through each day as best he can. Then your government contacts you.

Loosely based on events in the American intelligence community during the Reagan administration, Fire tells the unique and powerful story of a young man's journey through the complex world of international intelligence. Fire was Bendis' first major work and helped him attract and develop a new audience for crime graphic novels that he would further challenge in later works such as Jinx, Goldfish, Torso, and Powers.
