Batman: The Killing Joke
movie review – Go HERE
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Presented for the first time with stark,
stunning new coloring by Bolland,
BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE is Alan
Moore's unforgettable meditation on the
razor-thin line between sanity and
insanity, heroism and villainy, comedy
and tragedy.
According to the grinning engine of
madness and mayhem known as The
Joker, that's all that separates the sane
from the psychotic. Freed once again
from the confines of Arkham Asylum, he's
out to prove his deranged point. And
he¿s going to use Gotham City's top cop,
Commissioner Jim Gordon, and his
brilliant and beautiful daughter Barbara to
do it.
Now Batman must race to stop his
archnemesis before his reign of terror
claims two of the Dark Knight's closest friends. Can he finally put an end to the cycle of
bloodlust and lunacy that links these two iconic foes before it leads to its fatal
conclusion? And as the horrifying origin of the Clown Prince of Crime is finally revealed,
will the thin line that separates Batman's nobility and The Joker's insanity snap once
and for all?
Legendary writer Alan Moore redefined the super-hero with WATCHMEN and V FOR
VENDETTA. In BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE, he takes on the origin of comics'
greatest super-villain, The Joker —and changes Batman's world forever.
Stunningly illustrated, BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE, THE DELUXE EDITION has
been lushly re-colored by artist Brian Bolland, presenting his original vision of this
modern classic for the first time.

Star Trek: Redshirt's Little Book of Doom (ISBN 9781608877362
$14.99)
This new book from the author of Fun with Kirk and Spock casts a wry, satirical eye on
one of the most popular sci-fi sagas of all time.
In the successful tradition of adult pop culture humor books like Stuck on Star Trek, A
Very Klingon Christmas, and the author’s own Fun with Kirk and Spock (ISBN
9781604334760 $14.95), Star Trek:
Redshirt's Little Book of Doom casts a
wry, satirical, and reverential eye on
one of the most popular and well-loved
television and film franchises of all
time.
Its common knowledge that if a Star
Trek character is wearing a red shirt,
chances are he’s going to die. But
there are so many other ways red
shirt–wearers can be humiliated. By
mining the humorous depths of Star
Trek's most popular in-jokes—that
anyone wearing a red shirt is
doomed—this book chronicles the
many ways one Starfleet officer's day
can be ruined.
Poor Red Shirt just can’t catch a break. Whether he's dealing with real-life problems we
all face like accidentally mixing whites with colors or being stuck sitting behind a very tall
Gorn in a movie theater or trying out a standup comedy routine in front of an audience
of surly Klingons, our hapless hero faces a universe-sized number of obstacles.
Featuring hilarious illustrations and witty gags that both pop culture fans and Star Trek
fans will adore, Star Trek: Redshirt's Little Book of Doom is a fresh new take on one of
the most beloved sci-fi sagas of all time.

Sherlock Holmes & the Servants of Hell by Paul Kane
(ISBN 9781781084557 $9.99)
Sherlock Holmes faces his greatest challenge yet when
he meets the Cenobites, the infamous servants of hell.
Late 1895, and Sherlock Holmes and his faithful
companion Dr John Watson are called upon to
investigate a missing persons case. On the face of it,
this seems like a mystery that Holmes might relish – as
the person in question vanished from a locked room –
and something to occupy him other than testing the
limits of his mind and body.
But this is just the start of an investigation that will draw
the pair into contact with a shadowy organisation talked
about in whispers and known only as ‘The Order of the
Gash’. As more and more people go missing in a
similar fashion, the clues point to a sinister asylum in
France and to the underworld of London. However, it is an altogether different
underworld that Holmes will soon discover – as he finds himself face to face not only
with those followers who do the Order’s bidding on Earth, but those who serve it in Hell:
the Cenobites...
