It was supposed to be a simple mission: capture a high-ranking NAZI SS officer and bring him back to HQ. But nothing goes right for an intrepid group of U.S. soldiers who intercept the Nazi officer and his men. Forced to hole up in a desolate French village with their prisoners after an accident, they find the village has been overrun by vicious monsters! The mortal enemies must put aside their differences to work together and stay alive. But how long will this tenuous truce last?
The adaptation of the hit science fiction/comedy film of the summer Iron Sky follows the fate of Nazis who fled to the moon in 1945, and return in 2018 to conquer the Earth with their armada of flying saucers. With tongue firmly in cheek, the story parodies both the Nazis and more recent political parties and figures, with no holds barred. With special effects and a climactic ending only the Third Reich could deliver, Iron Sky is an action packed ride from start to finish.

In this action-packed tale spinning out of best-selling author James Patterson's No. 1 novel, sibling teenagers Whit and Wisty Allgood use their newly discovered magical powers to infiltrate into enemy territory of the New Order to gain control of the inter-dimensional Shadowland.
Whit and Wisty get the shock of their lives when a member of the New Order's inner circle, The One Who Bans Books, contacts them with a clandestine proposal: he wants their help in removing The One Who Is The One from power using an ancient book of the occult that holds a spell for stripping an individual of all their magic. Unfortunately, the book is in a heavily guarded N.O. bunker that's shielded against magic portals from Shadowland. But more importantly, can the Allgood siblings even trust this man who is willing to commit treason, or is his offer just an elaborate trap?

Available in December. The world can always use a laugh. But today, the world could really use these laughs in this collection of comic strips and panel cartoons. Love and Other Weird Things is a cartoon collection by the soon-to-be-household-name-if-there's-any-justice-in-the-world Rich Sparks. The cast of characters seems innocuous enough: foul-mouthed animals, Paul Bunyan, Smokey the Bear, stout men in tighty-whities. But the situations give Monty Python a run for their money. And the juxtapositions-good heavens! Sparks has been published in the New Yorker, the Wall Street Journal, and many other publications. Now, he breaks out on his own with approximately 150 bizarre but sweet(ish)-but, no, seriously, really bizarre-but also really funny cartoons.

Like the best rock n' roll bands, Love Song is four parts that harmonize the muddy and messy chords of life into a breathtaking resolution. United by a shared love of music, this collection of four 'albums' is composed of a series of short stories, each running into the next like best cuts from your favorite records. And like a classic album, Love Song gets the joy and humor out of the way up front, letting the story wind its way into the dark and serious corners of adult life. Alternating between loud and quiet or hard and soft, this story will sink its hook into readers like a jingle or riff that just won't be easily forgotten. Bullet points: * Brings the sophisticated French graphic novel to the English language for the first time. * Advance solicited for January release!
