Chuck Jones: Dream That Never Was
by Chuck Jones
The research into the Academy Award-winning Warner Bros. animator's comic creation uncovered a treasure trove of previously unseen work, and it's presented here in all its stunning glory.
Comics Class
by Matt Forsythe
Forsythe taught a comics class. Fortunately for us, it didn't go well. He documents it here with hilarious results.
Fables Volume 16: Super Team
by Bill Willingham
If you're wrestling with which TV show to commit to, Grimm or Once Upon A Time, you may want to take a brief break and read the newest collection of the comic series that really is responsible for the modern comeback of the fairy tale.
Fat Tarino
by Ashley Wood
A beautiful, slip-cased, limited edition hardcover of Ashely Wood's artwork collected from his three Fanta books.
My Favorite Martian: The Complete Season Volume 1
by Paul S. Newman / Russ Manning
I was a fan of the old TV show that spawned this comic series, and as a result, this beautiful archival collection of the series brings me more joy than it really should.
Raw Power #1
by Josh Bayer
The newest installment in the monthly Retrofit comics project is an oversized classic underground-looking comic by the always entertaining Bayer.
The Strain #1
by David Lapham / Mike Huddleston
Filmaker Guillermo Del Toro and author Chuck Hogan's vampire epidemic novel series gets the comic treatment.
The Walking Dead Volume 15: We Find Ourselves
by Robert Kirkman / Charlie Adlard / Cliff Rathburn
The perfect salve for those still itching for more zombies during the season break of the hit AMC TV show.
