NEON GENESIS EVANGELION: ANGELIC DAYS TP'S
by Fumino Hayashi
First serialized in Newtype USA, Angelic Days takes the angst-ridden EVA pilots
of Neon Genesis Evangelion and sets them in the lighter, brighter world of high
school. Harried, harassed, and harangued — that’s Shinji Ikari’s life in a
nutshell. Still, his days are fairly typical for a Tokyo teenager: he’s got a
pushy pal in Asuka who rudely rouses him whenever he’s running late for school,
and he’s surrounded by the standard assortment of high school goofballs. In
fact, everything’s just as you’d expect, until one day when Shinji bumps into a
strange girl he’s never seen before, and she promptly accuses him of peeking up
her skirt! But that’s not the worst of it. Strange dreams have been haunting his
sleep lately–dreams of a robotic “other” just beyond the horizon. With comedy,
action, and romance (plus a fair share of fan service), Angelic Days is the
manga NGE fans have been waiting for!

CONTRACT #1
by Maderios, Shell & Various
In a capitalist world’s dark future, Mercenary is no longer just a soldier for
hire. It’s a way of life. Law is enforced by cyber-powered Mercs and life or
death is decided by the lowest bidder. There is no right or wrong beyond the
price in hard currency. Jessie Garrett, however, is everything most Mercs are
not: honest, selfless and determined to bring order to greed-hardened worlds,
driven mad by money. But when a corporate kidnapping goes wrong, Jessie, and
fellow Mercs, Panzer and Tsumi, get in over their heads. Strip clubs,
black-market organ dealers, cyber-enhanced soldiers and the life of one young
girl collide in Contract’s first 3-part mini-series, and no one can predict the
cost. Ships with 2 covers in a 50/50 ratio.

WARREN ELLIS' AETHERIC MECHANICS GN
by Warren Ellis & Gianluca Pagliarani
The newest addition to Warren Ellis' Apparat line of original graphic novels has
arrived! The year is 1907, and Britain has entered into a terrifying war with
Ruritania, whose strange metal planes darken the skies, and whose monstrous war
engines cast looming shadows from across the channel. Doctor Robert Watcham,
lately returned to London from the front, makes his homecoming to Dilke Street.
There lives his old friend, and England's greatest amateur detective, Sax Raker.
Even as his beloved city prepares for war, Raker is himself about to embark on
the strangest, and perhaps the most important, investigation of his career — the
case of the man who wasn't there. This is no simple matter of murder; Sax Raker
faces haunting questions to which there are no cut-and-dried answers. Is the
mysterious killer, at last, evidence for Raker's long-held belief in a secret
criminal mastermind? Is it some apparition uniquely belonging to this singular
city, a place that seems to have lost all semblance of sense two years ago? Or
do all the signs point to something much, much worse? This may very well be the
last case for our Raker: a spinning tale of mystery, a tangled story of science,
a twisting account of thwarted love, a fleeting glimpse into the aetheric
mechanics of the world itself — and, of course, death. Following up the huge
success of Crecy, Ellis turns his spark of mad genius to bring us a fantastical
tale in this all new original graphic novel illustrated in detailed perfection
by Gianluca Pagliarani.

Francisco, guided by the man whose unique new drugs gave them their incredible
powers. Calling themselves The Levellers, this unified front stood against
street crimes and corruption, in defense of their city against any and all
assault. Years have passed, and we fast-forward through the tumultuous events of
those early years to today, where the idealistic Levellers have gone through
four incarnations to become The Front Line. But the team is not the only thing
that's advanced over the years, and there are no easy victories when their luck
finally begins to run out! This #0 issue is not a preview, it features the
essential first chapter of the story and is available with a Regular or
Wraparound cover by Ryp, as well as a rare 1-in-15 Design Sketch Edition
featuring the initial character designs by Ryp.

ANNA MERCURY #4
by Warren Ellis & Facundo Percio
Warren Ellis tears back the curtain and shines full light on the seductively
mysterious Anna Mercury in his all-new color series! Well, it certainly did seem
like a job well done, and she thought she'd won this round. Anna Mercury returns
home, secure in the success of her mission and believing she has saved Sheol
from New Ataraxia's awesome weapon, The Cutter. Unfortunately, she was wrong.
Anna and her command have underestimated how severely damaged the societies are,
and she must now return to that mad and beautiful world to prevent the cities'
mutually assured destruction! A high-octane blend of The Shadow, Tomb Raider,
retropunk science fiction, and 21st century Weird Pulp action, Anna Mercury is a
headlong adventure serial about a beautiful and mysterious spy-adventurer who is
not what she seems! Anna Mercury will be a series of mini-series, starting with
this five-issue color series that features art by all-new talent Facundo Percio.
This issue is available with a regular cover by Paul Duffield, a wraparound by
Juan Jose Ryp, a painted cover by artist Felipe Massafera, and also a rare
1-in-15 Design Sketch Edition featuring the initial character designs by Percio.

by Warren Ellis & Facundo Percio

society, and she comes from a place that no one in New Ataraxia has ever heard
of. And she has one hour to save the city from itself!

Gravel, the explosive monthly series from Ellis and Wolfer, continues its wild
and bloody run! After his victory in a frenzied battle to the death with Edwin
Royston and nine powerful Combat Magicians, William Gravel travels to the remote

Shockham Hall and the fourth piece of the Sigsand Manuscript. Retrieving this
section of the most powerful Occult tome ever written will not be easy, however,
because there is something in the woods leading to Shockham Hall, and something
in the black skies above that thunders down with Apocalyptic fury. These are the
riders of the dead, and a beaten and exhausted William Gravel is about to become
the prey in the legendary Wild Hunt! This issue is available with a regular
cover by Mike Wolfer, a wraparound by new series artist Oscar Jimenez, and also

STARS OF THE MONTH
WARREN ELLIS' STRANGE KISS TP'S
by Warren Ellis & Mike Wolfer
Back in print in time for the all-new series in 2008! The entire Strange Kiss
series collected in one volume featuring the introduction of William Gravel!
Stranger Kisses is about people for whom two genders are not enough, no matter
how you play mix-and-match with sexuality. It's also about videotape, bad
secrets, and what it's like to have an entire city wanting to kill you. The Body
Orchid digs deep into William Gravel's magic past and begs an answer to one of
the greatest combat magician secrets — the Body Orchid — when he is forced to
confront his former teammates of SAS team Alpha One Four. Strong Medicine sends
Gravel back to London, where he gets sucked into a horrific child mutilation
investigation. Because this child was killed in a very specific way, it was a
muti-killing designed to bring powerful magic to someone! Gravel travels to the
Philippines in Necromancer, where he battles zombies created by a
vengeance-seeking superior who wants Gravel out of the way! Get brought
up-to-date on the exciting stories of Combat Magician William Gravel!
