Now in Season Eight of the critically acclaimed, award-winning Buffy comics series, Willow’s powers have grown exponentially. She can fly. Teleport. And may or may not be immortal. All we know is that Willow went on a walkabout following the demise of Sunnydale, and she met a very sultry, extremely powerful serpent lady who seems to be the key to unraveling the mysteries of what Willow is, and will become.

In this “adult fable” that Robertson writes AND draws, Conan travels away from Cimmeria to search for a mercenary job that will bring him the fierce joy of battle and the spoils of war. Intrigued by a leader known as the “Mad King of Gaul,” Conan joins a band of brutes who are defending the Aquilonian border from incursions and who enjoy living in a lush valley that the Mad King claims for his own. These warriors soon believe that Conan may be a more fitting successor to their leader than the supposed king’s own son—setting Conan on a potentially disastrous course! Taking place between the Cimmeria and Black Colossus story arcs in the Conan the Cimmerian monthly series, this issue is perfect for both longtime readers and for intrigued fans looking for a dynamic one-shot punch from the visceral and cerebral Darick Robertson.

After carving a bloody path through his fellow members of the Minor Seven, the last thing Sergeant Major William Gravel expected was to be welcomed with open arms into a much more prestigious ensemble: The Major Seven. But enlistment as the newest recruit among the Master Magicians of England comes with a price, and a penance. Before Gravel can fully gain acceptance within their ranks, the Major Seven have two tasks for him. The first, to reform the Minor Seven, whom he personally crushed with his own hands. The second, to uncover the murderer within the Major Seven who killed one of their own, the woman whose place Gravel will fill if he completes his inaugural assignments. Trouble is, the six remaining members of the Major Seven are just like the Minor Seven, a pack of bloody liars. And before he's done, the seasoned Combat Magician will make it very clear to the overseers of Britain's occult hierarchy that a penance, and a price, is not only his burden to endure.

The story focuses on the relationship between Army Medical Officer and poet, Ôgai Mori, and the German dancer Elise Weigert, "Autumn's Ballerina," and the strains placed on it by Japanese society.

Here is King – father, husband, politician, deal broker, idealist, pragmatist, inspiration to millions – brought to vivid, flesh-and-blood life. Out of print since 2006, King is our most-requested reprint. In recognition of the advances made in American social equality that has made it possible to elect America’s first black President, and in time to celebrate Martin Luther King Day (January 26, 2010), Fantagraphics Books is publishing King: The Special Edition, a newly designed volume that includes the original 240 page graphic biography, as well as nearly a hundred additional pages of “extras,” including: “Black Dogs,” a 14 page prelude to King, a dialogue between a young black couple expecting a child, living in LA in the aftermath of the Rodney King upheaval; excerpts from the diary and notebook the author kept when researching and writing King, with interstitial notes written specifically for this volume; preparatory sketches, discarded images and pages, an interview with the author, and excerpts from the draft of the script; an epilogue titled “Assassin,” written and drawn for this new edition, in which Anderson explores the question of whether James Earl Ray actually shot King. NEWAVE! THE UNDERGROUND MINI COMIX OF THE 1980’S (E) Michael Dowers 892 pages, B&W, 5” x 7” $22.99 Hardcover A GIGANTIC collection of the best SMALL press cartoonists to emerge in the 1970s after the first generation of underground cartoonists (such as R. Crumb, Gilbert Shelton and Art Spiegelman) paved the way. These cartoonists, inspired by the freewheeling creative energy of the underground comix movement, began drawing and printing their own comix. The most popular format was an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, folded twice, and printed at a local, pre-Kinkos print shop; because of the small size, they were dubbed “mini comix.” Just a few of the BIG talents included herein: Dan Clowes! Fred Hembeck! Gary Panter! Rick Geary! Mary Fleener! XNO! Jim Blanchard! Sam Henderson! J.R. Williams! Steve Willis! Doug Allen! Gary Leib! Mack White! And many! many! many! MORE! Inspired by the creative freedom of their underground predecessors and unrestrained by commercial boundaries or editorial edicts, their work was particulary innovative and experimental. Here you will find a group of artists who could not get any attention from the mainstream, who were driven by the inner need to express themselves. This group was a pioneering force that still leaves a wake and an imprint on the alternative comix scene today.

Forced together by their dating parents, these two bitter enemies have alienated – or otherwise disposed of – most of their social circle, leaving them with plenty of quality time for each other. They go camping, start a business, form a band, join a team, try to make some new friends and engage in a “holy war.” Things go from worse to worst, though, when the two boys find a cat – or is it a bird??? – one hot, summer day. Blending such influences as Charles Schulz’s Peanuts, Universal Monsters, Hal Roach’s The Little Rascals and the noir stylings of Jim Thompson – Steven Weissman has created a unique, personal world replete with superior content and major drawing chops to that of the typical, humdrum comic book fare. His work is a treasure to our industry. Think Archie with fangs... or Little Lulu with blood and guts and existential dread. BOO! MORE BY STEVEN WEISSMAN It’s hard to recall a time when Steven Weissman’s adorable and idiosyncratic cartoon creations weren’t a part of our lives, hustling about Milltown, perfectly drawn and perfectly awful.

In 1984’s Secret Wars storyline by Marvel Comics, Spider-Man’s original blue and red costume was damaged. He found a gooey black substance that flowed over the hero’s body, creating a black and white costume that seemed too good to be true. A few months later, it was revealed that the substance was actually an alien parasite! After Spider-Man rejected it the parasite joined with Eddie Brock to become the monstrous VENOM. Kotobukiya is proud to present Venom as you’ve never seen him before. The first in a new lineup of Marvel Villains, the alien parasite is captured stalking his prey with wicked claws at the ready and his signature toothy grin splitting his face. Though Venom is static and calm on the surface, inside you know he’s up to no good. The black costume is visually striking with dark blue accents and set off by the white sections on Venom’s face, chest, back, and hands. Every inch of the villain’s hulking musculature is sculpted to perfection, as are the details of his horrific open mouth. Venom is absolutely massive at 13 inches tall, dominating the Marvel Comics Kotobukiya Collection of Fine Art Statues. He stands atop a specially-designed circular base that lights up with interior LEDs, further enhancing the display options of this amazing villain. Sculpted by Junnosuke Abe, Venom is constructed of high-quality cold cast porcelain and is a limited, numbered edition.

These two Ani*Statues make a perfect pair. Bold and temperamental, the attractive Asuka reclines in her plug suit and runs her fingers through her fiery red hair. Her suit, especially accentuating the curves of her legs, represents the new restyled version as seen on Rei as well. Asuka sits upon a miniature rock-like bust of Evangelion Unit 02, and even that has new details from Evangelion 2.0. Colors on the young pilot are bright and resplendent, with special emphasis on her signature red. Crafted by Bishoujo sculptor Tsukuru Shirahige, Asuka is approximately 7 ¾ inches tall (in 1/6th scale with Rei).

InuYasha tells the tale of a half-demon hero travelling through ancient Japan with assorted sidekicks including a high school student from the future, other demons, and a sex-crazed monk. Originally a manga series, the anime was first released in 2000 and went on to become one of the most popular series of all time, with fans around the world. Just in time for the airing of season two in the fall, Kotobukiya is bringing back the InuYasha Ani*Statues that have been long sold out. The courageous INUYASHA ( 5 ½” tall) is captured perfectly in mid-attack, crouched on one knee. The half-demon’s blood red garment is perfectly sculpted with a multitude of seams, creases, and drawstrings. InuYasha’s lengthy white hair streams out behind him in long tendrils, whipped up by his powerful attack, while his face is twisted into a fierce grimace. Most importantly, the hero wields the enormous Testusaiga sword crafted from one of his own father’s fangs. The power and determination of SESSHOMARU (8 ½” tall) is readily apparent in his regal bearing. Standing erect, the demon calmly awaits any foe stupid enough to think it can defeat him. Sesshomaru’s intricate costume has been painstakingly recreated, including the many different layers and textures. Sesshomaru’s face is decorated with all of the unique stylings from the series, including the blue crescent on his forehead and red scars. The demon wields the mighty Tensaiga sword in his right hand, while another rests in a sheath at his left side. When Japanese high school student KAGOME (7 ½” tall) set off to find her lost cat, little did she realize she was embarking on the journey of a lifetime. Along with them on their travels is SHIPPO, a tiny shapeshifting fox-demon who delights in mischievous pranks. Masterfully sculpted by Tsukuru Shirahige, the pair of Kagome and Shippo stands ready to do battle. The girl wears her white and green high school uniform while wielding a bow and arrows.

The latest manga masterpiece (and soon to be anime series) from Clamp is Kobato. This original tale tells the story of the titular heroine KOBATO HANATO, a mysterious young girl on a mission to relieve the suffering and pain of others. Possessing a magical flask that can heal heartache, Kobato is very eager to help as many people as she can. Sadly, she is forbidden to fall in love with any of her “patients,” a restriction which might just get in her way as the story progresses. Kobato is resplendent in her Japanese kimono, based off of Clamp’s cover for Mokona’s “Mokona no Okimono Kimono” book. The long flowing robe is bright orange with a multi-color vegetation pattern along the hem. Around Kobato’s waist is a large green sash decorated with pink and white flowers, and emerging from below the kimono is a white garment fringed in blue, which matches her cap and traditional Japanese style umbrella. Her pretty face has a wide-eyed surprised expression and is framed by brown hair that drapes down her back to about knee-level. Kobato’s right hand rests upon a golden bird cage housing her companion Ioryogi in his stuffed toy dog form; the bottom of the cage opens so you can remove him. The young girl and the cage fit perfectly on the included cloud display base. Sculpted by Kouei Matsumoto, Kobato stands approximately 7 inches tall.

Appearing for the first time in a sitting pose, CELESTIA “The Eternal Forest’s Chanting” is a regal reclining beauty. Leaning on her left arm with her legs tucked beneath her, the elf maiden holds an open book on her lap. Celestia’s skimpy clothing leaves little to the imagination, and shows off her well-proportioned body. Her short skirt was specially crafted with translucent plastic covered in thin layers of paint to create a nearly transparent effect, further adding to her ethereal look. Celestia’s book is removable, and she sits upon an included green flocked base. She also comes with Lassi the popular “Spirit King” in an all new sculpt. Sculpted by Shou Kojima, Celestia is 4 1/3 inches tall (in 1/8th scale with the other Shining Wind Ani*Statues) and will be released in an attractive window box. CLALACLAN is the picture of helpfulness in her maid’s costume, as depicted by fan favorite illustrator Tony Taka.
