(W) Ben H. Winters (A) Leomacs (CA) Christian Ward IN ONE L.A. MOTEL ROOM, A COSMIC QUEST IS ABOUT TO BEGIN . . . More than just a writer, more than just a science-fiction icon, Benjamin J. Carp was a cultural revolutionary. Over the course of 44 novels and hundreds of short stories—including the counterculture classic The Man They Couldn’t Erase—Carp pushed the boundaries of literary respectability for the sci-fi genre and his readers’ perception of reality itself . . . until decades of amphetamine abuse and Southern California excess finally ended a mind-bending career that always just escaped mainstream success. He died in 1982.Until 2025 . . . when Benjamin J. Carp awakens, alive, in a burned-out motel on the fringes of Los Angeles. He remembers dying. He knows he shouldn’t exist. Is he a dream? A robot? A ghost? A clone? A simulation? In his own time, Carp pondered all of these scenarios through his fiction—and now, as he treks from Studio City to Venice Beach and onward into the paranoid sprawl of 21st-century Los Angeles, he will be called to investigate his greatest mystery yet: himself. From Edgar Award nominee and Philip K. Dick Award winner Ben H. Winters (EC’s Cruel Universe, The Last Policeman trilogy) and rising star Leomacs (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss, Ghostlore) comes a uniquely fascinating and hilariously deranged excursion into the metatextual nexus, where existence and oblivion, past and future, genius and madness, and glitter and grim reality all meet just beyond Hollywood Boulevard.

(W/A/CA) Anouk Ricard Pet therapist by day, animal-morphing pet detective by night—fear not, Animan’s on the case! A radioactive mosquito bite as a baby gives Francis the superpower of morphing into any animal at will. Learning to keep his powers secret from an early age, Francis takes up pet therapy as his day job, the perfect cover for his secret identity as Animan. Francis uses his fantastical gift to treat his animal patients, go undercover to solve murders, and battle it out with his nemesis, Objecto, a man capable of transforming into any and every possible object. And to top it all off, in his free time Francis is an avid watercolorist, who enjoys drawing landscapes and risqué portraits of his frog girlfriend, Fabienne.

(W) Paul Theroux (A/CA) Steve Lafler Money, women, power, and rebelling against the golden years. These are some of the perilous and alluring patterns that weave their way through Crazy for You. In this double feature of love and obsession, two short stories by the acclaimed writer Paul Theroux are adapted by veteran cartoonist Steve Lafler. “Minor Watt” is a high society satire lampooning the perverse relationship between art and the art market — and what happens when the joy of owning is outstripped by the thrill of destroying. “Siamese Nights” is a tale of infidelity, infatuation, and exoticism, blending into an intoxicating, midlife crisis siren song. Little choices and self-betrayals build until a quiet leitmotif rolls into a shattering crescendo. Lafler's bold and expressive style effortlessly captures the pulp exuberance adorning Theroux’s stories and the profound vulnerability underlying his characters. Crazy for You will stop you in your tracks right before it bowls you over.

(W) Marv Wolfman (A/CA) George Perez, Romeo Tanghal THE STORIES THAT CHANGED THE TITANS FOREVER! The original Teen Titans always stood in the shadows of their larger-than-life mentors--young heroes like Robin, Wonder Girl, and Kid Flash saw plenty of action, but it was Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash who ultimately called the shots.

Crafted by comics legends Marv Wolfman and George Perez, this all-new super-team featured greater dangers, fiercer emotions, and more tangled relationships than any that had come before. The Titans' celebrated stories have ensured that the names of Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and the Changeling will be passed down through history alongside those famous aliases employed by Dick Grayson, Donna Troy, and Wally West. New Teen Titans Omnibus Vol. 2 collects issues #21-41 of the classic series, together with its first two annuals and the special crossover issue BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS #5, and includes an introductory piece from Wolfman.
