In Absent Bodies, Bellarmine and his crew take on a series of gruesome tasks
starting with a bloodbath that covers an entire neighborhood. This investigation
leads them toward uncovering a disturbing mystery involving missing
people—mostly children—which dates back longer than the history of the city
itself. Collects the four-issue miniseries.

Collecting over thirty short stories by London-based writer/artist Carol Swain,

introspective, boldly executed, and visually unique works are peppered with
magical realism, autobiography, and tenacious punk attitudes. While Swain’s
tales cover a wide range of emotions, politics, and societal ills, they are all
tied together with an art style that is universally appealing and undeniably
unique. Two bran- new color stories, created for this hardcover volume, are
featured in a special color section. Alan Moore describes Carol Swain’s work as
“dark and full of life, like soil . . . a perfect example of what modern comics
are capable of if they only try.”

BERSERK VOLUME 32
Kentaro Miura (W/A)
On sale Nov 25
b&w, 232 pages $14.95
TPB, 5 1/8" x 7 1/4"
Guts, the Black Swordsman, joins forces with a most unlikely ally, the fiendish
Nosferatu Zodd, in a desperate attempt to defeat the Kushan emperor’s malevolent
astral form. But Griffith, Guts’ former commander and friend reborn as a demonic
lord of the Godhand, has plans of his own for the emperor, and for Midland
itself. Guts and his companions’ only hope is to reach the promised safety of
the elf Puck’s homeland, Elfhelm, but if Griffith and the emperor turn their
attention back to this motley band of travelers, there may be nowhere left for
Guts and crew to hide!

GANTZ VOLUME 8
Hiroya Oku (W/A)
On sale Nov 25
b&w, 224 pages $12.95
TPB, 5 1/8" x 7 1/4"
Without giving anything away, suffice it to say that this might be the watershed
volume of Gantz. It’s the end of the great Buddha battle, and it doesn’t seem to
be going well. In fact, it would be amazing if anyone returned to the locked
apartment overlooking Tokyo tower. It’s really been the worst fight yet. But
there’s got to be a gleam of hope somewhere. Also in this story, we meet a few
more interesting characters outside of Gantz’s hunting party, and it only adds
more mystery to the mix.
