UPCOMING - September 22 - Raina Telgemeier signing Drama
 Raina Telgemeier, creator of the New York Times bestseller Smile, will be appearing at both our Vienna and College Park stores on Saturday, September 22, for her brand new book Drama!
Callie loves theater. And while she would totally try out for her middle school’s production of Moon Over Mississippi, she’s a terrible singer. Instead she’s the set designer for the stage crew, and this year she’s determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a middle-school budget. But how can she, when she doesn’t know much about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are having trouble working together? Not to mention the onstage AND offstage drama that occurs once the actors are chosen, and when two cute brothers enter the picture, things get even crazier! Following the success of Smile, Raina Telgemeier brings us another graphic novel featuring a diverse set of characters that humorously explores friendship, crushes, and all-around drama!

Only Skin: New Tales of the Slow Apocalypse SC
by Sean Ford
An amazing mystery with hints of surreal Lynchian horror!

Strange and very original!

Serenity 1: Those Left Behind HC
by Joss Whedon, Brett Matthews, Will Conrad, Laura Martin
The bridge story between the Firefly TV show and the Serenity movie is out in a nice hardcover that matches the rest of the series! A man that Mal thought he had put down teams up with the men with hands of blue to take on the crew of Serenity! Fun, fast-paced and character driven scifi!

The Invisibles Omnibus HC
by Grant Morrison and everyone!
Morrison's insane opus about a secret order defending humanity against aliens in a psychic war... or something! Mind-bending and challenging, the entire 3 series are in this single gigantic book!

Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #1
by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee
A new miniseries that perfectly nails the innocent fun of the original Rocketeer with the action (and horror!) of the pulps! Cliff is caught up in troubles with his girlfriend's jealousy even as a super menacing man comes towards America by ship! A great start, with amazing Samnee art! Very similiar in tone to their Daredevil work!

Prophet 1: Remission
by Brandon Graham, Simon Roy, Farel Dalrymple
The epic scifi adventure explodes into a collection! Thousands of years in the future, a man named Prophet awakes from suspended animation into an Earth overrun by aliens and strange tech, where he must complete his mission! Mind-blowing art and concepts that bring to mind the best scifi of Heavy Metal! Our highest recommendation! Plus it's only $10!
|
Swamp Thing 1: Raise Them Bones SC
by Scott Snyder and Yanick Paquette
Another of the surprise smash hits from DC's New 52! A war has begun between the Red of Animal Man and the Green of Swamp Thing, but the corrupting Rot may destroy them all! Alec Holland thinks he is finished as Swamp Thing, but he may not have a choice about it!
|
Captain Easy: Soldier of Fortune 3 HC
by Roy Crane
The prewar years of Captain Easy may be some of Roy Crane's best! Classic adventure strips collected in a huge oversized edition that replicates the original newspaper size of these fun stories in the classic Temple of the Swinks story with lots of pirates and beautiful women!
