What if our fears of a tyrannical A.I. turn out to be unfounded, but nevertheless, humanity forces this machine intelligence to fight back? In 2045 we survive a brush with oblivion when the A.I. AURELIUS achieves singularity, quickly deactivated but not without a fight. A decade later governments ensure it never returns by activating the "Analog Protocol," frequently and without warning. Citizens must expect, at any time, to lose all digital capabilities. What they don't know is that AURELIUS left a piece of its mind behind in a simple hemp farmer known only as Epictetus. (STL170005)

BERLIN TP COMPLETE (MR)
(W/A/CA) Jason Lutes
For twenty years, Jason Lutes toiled on this intimate, sweeping epic before the collected Berlin was published in 2018 to widespread acclaim. Lutes's historical fiction about the decline of the Weimar Republic and the rise of fascism is seen through the eyes of the Jews and the Nazis; the socialists and the socialites; the lavishly decorated queer clubs and the crumbling tenement apartments. Lutes weaves these characters' lives into the larger fabric of a city slowly ripping apart, crafting a polyphonic novel that is rich in its historical detail and as timely as ever in its depiction of a society slowly awakening to the stranglehold of fascism.

Lulu Moppet is an outspoken and brazen young girl who doesn't follow any rules, whether they've been set by her parents, the neighborhood boys, or society itself. 2019 Lulu engages in suburban hijinks: she goes on picnics, babysits, and attempts to break into the boys' clubhouse again and again. Cartoonist John Stanley's expert timing and constant gags made these stories unbelievably enjoyable, ensuring that Marge's Little Lulu was a defining comic of the post-war period. Lulu's assertiveness, individuality, and creativity is empowering to witness; the series is powerfully feminist despite the decades in which the stories were created. (STL119879) (SEP191688)

DF OTHER HISTORY OF DC UNIVERSE #1 CGC GRADED (C: 0-1-2)
Academy Award-winning screenwriter John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, Let It Fall) examines the mythology of the DC Universe in this compelling new miniseries that reframes iconic moments of DC history and charts a previously unexplored sociopolitical thread as seen through the prism of DC Super Heroes who come from traditionally disenfranchised groups. This unique new series presents its story as prose by Ridley married with beautifully realized illustrations by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Andrea Cucchi. Issue #1 follows the story of Jefferson Pierce, the man who will one day become Black Lightning, as he makes his way from being a young track star to a teacher and, ultimately, to his role as a hero. Future issues focus on characters such as Karen and Mal Duncan, Tatsu Yamashiro, and Renee Montoya. Extensively researched and masterfully executed, The Other History of the DC Universe promises to be an experience unlike any other. You may think you know the history of the DC Universe…but the truth is far more complex. The Other History of the DC Universe isn't about saving the world-it's about having the strength to simply be who you are. CGC GRADED 9.6 OR HIGHER! FINAL COVER MAY VARY! ALLOCATIONS MAY OCCUR!

DF SWEET TOOTH RETURN #1 CGC GRADED (C: 0-1-2)
Once upon a time there was a little boy named Gus. He had antlers and lived with his father in a little cabin in the woods. Then his father died, and the big man with cold eyes took Gus away. Gus went on many great adventures, found friends, love, happiness, family, and acceptance. Now, years later...it begins again. A young boy with antlers and deer-like feature wakes in a bizarre and completely foreign world where the last humans struggle to survive. They tell the boy he is special, he is chosen, and that he alone can lead them back to a world dominated by the oppressive Hybrids. Sweet Tooth: The Return is no re-hash of the original series, but rather a bold re-imagining of the Sweet Tooth mythology; taking elements of the original series and remixing them into something familiar, but totally new. A divided world. A planet long ago past the point of devastation. And at the center of it all, a child who didn't ask to be born into any of this, but who has no choice but to try and forge some life for himself. His visions and dreams may not be real at all...they may just be fiction. But they are hope. And sometimes hope is enough. Acclaimed writer/artist Jeff Lemire reunites with colorist José Villarubia to bring you the next chapter in the saga of DC's acclaimed series Sweet Tooth! CGC GRADED 9.6 OR HIGHER!

JOHNNY APPLESEED HC
(W) Paul Buhle (A/CA) Noah Van Sciver
Johnny Appleseed spread the seeds of apple trees from Pennsylvania to Indiana, along with notions of nonviolence, vegetarianism, good relations with the indigenous peoples, and peace among the settlers. The story runs counter to the prevailing glorification of violent conquest depicting how the West was won. Johnny Appleseed brings this quintessentially American story to life through the deft skills of biographer Paul Buhle (Radical America, The Beats) and award-winning graphic novelist Noah Van Sciver (STL052383) (JUN171673)

SAINT COLE GN (MR)
(W/A/CA) Noah Van Sciver
Saint Cole depicts four days in the life of 28-year-old Joe who feels trapped working overtime at a pizza restaurant to support his girlfriend, Nicole, and their infant child. When Nicole invites her troubled mother to move in, Joe retreats further into alcohol. Joe wants out. He's angry. He's in a position to act rashly. And he does. This new graphic novel from Noah Van Sciver may seem like a left turn from his critically acclaimed debut graphic novel biography of Abraham Lincoln (The Hypo), yet upon closer reflction, it continues Van Sciver's interest in pathos and the human condition.

The second volume of Fantagraphics’ historic series collecting Spain Rodriguez’s most important comics, Warrior Women, features the striking women he created with pen and ink, from young Rita Velveeta to senior skateboarder Granny McGurk.

In a revealing essay, the women who knew Spain best describe their relationships with the author.
