 2 SISTERS
by Matt Kindt
From the artist and co-creator of Pistolwhip and Mephisto, comes an all-new World War II era spy thriller that spans not only the globe, but time as well -- from England to Spain and from ancient Roman times through the era of Pirates and Buccaneers. This daring spy story is the backdrop for the unique tale of two sisters, their relationship and the secrets they share. Weighing in at well over 300 pages, this epic has everything -- shady gypsies, mysterious rockets, buried treasure, pen-guns, cyanide teeth and romance. This will be the thrill ride of the year.

 LESS THAN HEROES
by David Yurkovich
In the city of Philadelphia there is a tall building at 18th and Market Street, atop of which lives four individuals. They are the official protectors of the city. Their job is to be around when traditional law enforcement fails. But are they really heroes? Meet Philadelphia's contracted super-hero team, Threshold. A quartet more interested in milk and cookies than crime and punishment. A team more concerned with battling indigestion than their arch enemies. Sure, they have super-powers. They can leap tall buildings, fly, and do all the stuff other heroes do. More than human? Probably. Less than heroes? Without a doubt.

 BOY TROUBLE: 10TH ANNIVERSARY ISSUE
Edited by Robert Kirby and David Kelly
"This collection of comics captures with grace and humor -- and frequently profound insight -- the joys, pressures, and contradictions of being gay in America." -- Dan Savage, Savage Love … Editors Robert Kirby and David Kelly celebrate Boy Trouble’s 10th anniversary with some of today’s best gay and lesbian cartoonists as they riff on the alternative boy aesthetic. Jennifer Camper’s protagonist spends a whirlwind day with his juvenile delinquent dyke sister; Ivan Velez, Jr. chronicles the heartaches of the well-endowed; and Craig Bostick captures the bittersweet angst of teen rock'n’roll boys. Kelly and Leanne Franson explore alienating bar life; Kirby and underground legend G.B. Jones present an encounter with an artsy adolescent; and Andy Hartzell offers a whimsical and beautifully drawn 12-page fantasy. Also featured: Cavalcade of Boys creator Tim Fish, Anonymous Boy, C. Bard Cole, and Michael Fahy. Distributed by Top Shelf.
