Wytches V01 (ISBN 9781632153807 $9.99)
Creators: Scott Snyder, JOCK
From Flavorwire – The super-creepy Wytches will have you hooked within the first few
pages — and also terrified. Wytches brilliantly reinvents the witch genre, in a tale
centering on the Rooks family, particularly daughter Sailor, and the eerie occurrences in
the woods. Wytches can be brutal and horrifying, but once you get to the end of the first
issue, there’s already no turning back.
4. Just released – The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins (ISBN
9780553418606 $26.00)
Carolyn’s not so different from the other human beings around her. She’s sure of it.
She likes guacamole and cigarettes and steak.
She knows how to use a phone. She even
remembers what clothes are for.
After all, she was a normal American herself,
once.
That was a long time ago, of course—before the
time she calls “adoption day,” when she and a
dozen other children found themselves being
raised by a man they learned to call Father.
Father could do strange things. He could call light
from darkness. Sometimes he raised the dead.
And when he was disobeyed, the consequences
were terrible.
In the years since Father took her in, Carolyn
hasn’t gotten out much. Instead, she and her
adopted siblings have been raised according to
Father’s ancient Pelapi customs. They’ve studied
the books in his library and learned some of the
secrets behind his equally ancient power.
Sometimes, they’ve wondered if their cruel tutor
might secretly be God.
Now, Father is missing. And if God truly is dead,
the only thing that matters is who will inherit his library—and with it, power over all of
creation.
As Carolyn gathers the tools she needs for the battle to come, fierce competitors for this
prize align against her.
But Carolyn can win. She’s sure of it. What she doesn’t realize is that her victory may
come at an unacceptable price—because in becoming God, she’s forgotten a great deal
about being human.
In Shelf Awareness --Kerry McHugh, blogger at Entomology of a Bookworm said… At
times humorous, more often dark and frightening, and always fast-paced, The Library at
Mount Char is an epic fantasy novel that is remarkable for its imagination and originality.

The End of All Things by John Scalzi (ISBN 9780765376077 $24.99)
Hugo-award winning author John
Scalzi returns to his best-selling
Old Man's War universe with the
direct sequel to 2013's The
Human Division
Humans expanded into
space...only to find a universe
populated with multiple alien
species bent on their destruction.
Thus was the Colonial Union
formed, to help protect us from a
hostile universe. The Colonial
Union used the Earth and its
excess population for colonists
and soldiers. It was a good
arrangement...for the Colonial
Union. Then the Earth said: no
more.
Now the Colonial Union is living on
borrowed time-a couple of
decades at most, before the ranks
of the Colonial Defense Forces
are depleted and the struggling
human colonies are vulnerable to
the alien species that have been
waiting for the first sign of
weakness, to drive humanity to
ruin. And there's another problem: A group, lurking in the darkness of space, playing
human and alien against each other-and against their own kind -for their own unknown
reasons.
In this collapsing universe, CDF Lieutenant Harry Wilson and the Colonial Union
diplomats he works with race against the clock to discover who is behind attacks on the
Union and on alien races, to seek peace with a suspicious, angry Earth, and keep
humanity's union intact...or else risk oblivion, and extinction-and the end of all things.

Amazing, Fantastic, Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir
(ISBN 9781501107726 $30.00)
In this gorgeously illustrated, full-color graphic memoir, Stan Lee—comic book legend
and co-creator of Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Avengers, the Incredible Hulk, and a
legion of other Marvel superheroes—shares his iconic legacy
and the story of how modern comics came to be.
Stan Lee is a man who needs no introduction. The most
legendary name in the history of comic books, he has been
the leading creative force behind Marvel Comics, and has
brought to life—and into the mainstream—some of the world’s
best-known heroes and most infamous villains throughout his
career. His stories—filled with superheroes struggling with
personal hang-ups and bad guys who possessed previously
unseen psychological complexity—added wit and subtlety to a
field previously locked into flat portrayals of good vs. evil. Lee
put the human in superhuman and in doing so, created a new
mythology for the twentieth century.
In this beautifully illustrated graphic memoir—illustrated by
celebrated artist Colleen Doran—Lee tells the story of his life with the same inimitable
wit, energy, and offbeat spirit that he brought to the world of comics. Moving from his
impoverished childhood in Manhattan to his early days writing comics, through his
military training films during World War II and the rise of the Marvel empire in the 1960s
to the current resurgence in movies, Amazing Fantastic Incredible documents the life of
a man and the legacy of an industry and career.
This funny, moving, and incredibly honest memoir is a must-have for collectors and fans
of comic books and graphic novels of every age.
