The “Cosplayers” chronicle continues as Annie and Verti attend the 3-day anime convention “Tezukon.” They enter the cosplay competition as Princess Mononoke and the Devil May Cry Lady. During the convention they face off against a Street Fighter 2 Cammy, encounter two otaku boys who are obsessed with their YouTube videos, and meet a manga scholar named Ben Baxter, who sleeps in a dumpster outside of the hotel and receives visions of the ending of Tezuka’s unfinished “Phoenix” saga. “Cosplayers 2″ is a sweet, funny, melancholic ode to the anime convention experience!
(W/A/CA) Sergio Ponchione
This gorgeous one-shot is an exquisite tribute to three of the most acclaimed comic book artists of all-time: Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby and Wally Wood. Acclaimed cartoonist Sergio Ponchione pays tribute to the “holy trinity” of DKW in this wildly imaginative book, split into three chapters, with each chapter drawn in a pitch-perfect homage to one of his idols. A must-have for fans of these Silver Age legends.

The conclusion to the “Political Science” storyline! Jack McGriskin may be down, but he’s not out. The Black Smile is confident he’s won, and that might just give Jack the edge he needs to bring one of Boston’s most-notorious killers to justice at last! But he’ll need a little help – okay, a lot of help – from his friends! Variant cover by Rafer Roberts, limited to 1000 copies)!

Beaten! Bloodied! Bamboozled!
Quantum and Woody took the battle straight to the enemy – the mad-science cabal called Edison’s Radical Acquisitions and their mysterious, monstrous new leader – and the enemy kicked their ass! When these rogue biologists (and roboticists) get their hands (and robo-claws) on their new lab subjects, Quantum and Woody are as good as vivisected! (And, by vivisected, we mean dead.)
Danger Zone
(W) Mark Bertolini (A/CA) Rob Croonenborghs
Meet Laura and True, two bourbon-toasted gunslingers caught between hardcore scores and
soul-depraved rehab! Dirty, violent and simple, or so it seems. The pair’s desert road trip of carnage and courtship may just take a cosmic turn when a mysterious figure begins to tail them on their explosive journey. Also available with a limited variant cover edition by Allen Byrnes!
