Join THE MIDNIGHT, one of the world’s top synthwave bands, comprised of Tyler Lyle and Tim McEwan, on an electrifying and original sci-fi adventure inspired by the poetic storytelling and the neon-soaked aesthetics of their music. Jason has spent his life running from his problems, but now he and his childhood sweetheart are on the precipice of parenthood, and he’s struggling with the loss of his adolescence. Then he re-discovers his favorite old video game, THE MIDNIGHT, a nostalgic 1980s fantasy adventure about a helmeted hero who travels to a cyberpunk world to save the people from eternal darkness. Seeking to repair his broken game, Jason ends up at a mysterious arcade in an abandoned 1980s mall, where he plays the old arcade game of The Midnight and suddenly he’s transported to… …a post-apocalyptic Neverland in the year 2085. A world of perpetual night where time stands still. A final bastion of humanity in a glistening futuristic city. And a shocking reveal – they know him as the hero who once vanquished the shadow monsters, and they believe he’s returned to his true reality to do it again. More surprising, his wife is here, but only with a memory of Jason as this world’s hero. As this lost boy tries to embrace his new hero powers, with the help of his true love and her cyberpunk warriors, he must face the responsibility of protecting an entire world from danger and discover which world he truly belongs to. For The Midnight fans and newcomers, created by rising comics writer, Zack Kaplan (Break Out, Mindset), artist Stephen Thompson (Star Trek: Year Five-Book 1, Star Trek: Year Five-Book 2), artist Jahnoy Lindsay (Superboy: Man of Tomorrow) and The Midnight, follow your dreams to a visually stunning cyberpunk metropolis, find love in the darkness, defeat shadow monsters and explore what happens when we hide in our fantasies. Are we escaping life’s monsters or simply escaping ourselves? The answers lie in the Midnight Graphic Novel.
ORDER NOW FOR AN OCTOBER 1, 2024, SHIP DATE >> RELATED: Comics Collections | Science Fiction YA The "Great Invasion" originated from the sea. It moved north across the mainland. Many fled, while some took refuge on a small concrete island called Celestia, built over a thousand years ago. Now cut off from the mainland, Celestia has become an outpost for criminals and other misfits, as well as a refuge for a group of young telepaths. Events push two of them, Dora and Pierrot, to flee the island and set sail to the mainland. There, they discover a world on the precipice of a metamorphosis, though also a world where adults are literally prisoners of their own fortresses, unintentionally preserving the "old world" at a time when a new generation could guide society towards a better humanity. Celestia is the most ambitious and successful graphic novel to date by one of the world's most exciting storytellers, Manuele Fior (Red Ultramarine and Blackbird Days). The novel showcases his singular talents as a once-in-a-generation visual artist and a deeply empathetic writer who uses science fiction to look to the future of humanity. PURCHASE >> RELATED: Comics Collections Praise for Celestia:"Sci-fi visionary Fior returns with a visually stunning postapocalyptic adventure. Fior proves he remains one of the finest painters in comics." — Publishers Weekly "Celestia is a revelation and one of the best books I've read this year. Manuele Fior's expressive and beautifully human artwork brings the ancient city of Celestia and its many fascinating residents to life in ways that will stay with you long after you've finished the book." — Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth) "A haunting story of a cabal of telepaths, prophetic poets, and beautifully empty cities. Where shared dreams can both connect and isolate. Boldly painted and utterly moving. Every panel is a work of art." — Matt Kindt (MIND MGMT, Grass Kings) "Remarkably beautiful... I enjoyed each new spread's lovely artwork while watching the characters struggle through their devastated world." — NPR "An imaginative and skillfully told story about characters and a world reeling from trauma but poised for a new beginning. Fior's talent for conveying emotion evokes both heartache and awe." — Library Journal The story of a nameless father and son trying to survive with their humanity intact in a postapocalyptic wasteland where Earth's natural resources have been diminished, and some survivors are left to raise others for meat, The Road is one of Cormac McCarthy's bleakest and most prescient novels. See below for info on the novel. This first official graphic novel adaptation of McCarthy's work is illustrated by acclaimed French cartoonist Manu Larcenet, who ably transforms the world depicted by McCarthy's spare and brutal prose into stark ink drawings that add an additional layer to this haunting tale of family love and human perseverance. Cormac McCarthy personally approved the making of this book before his death, and the adaptation bears the approval of the McCarthy estate.

I just got through watching the entire Mad Max movie series for about the fifth time... so I guess I'm in the mood for crazy vehicles packed with weapons and driven by lunatics hauling ass across a desert landscape! Fortunately, Convoy by Kevan Stevens and Jef is a very satisfying way to scratch that post-apocalyptic itch. It’s 2074, and the Earth is an abused ruin, a landscape of desolation thanks to mankind’s inability to live in moderation. Pockets of makeshift civilization are spread out like islands in a sea of wasted misery, a distance that only the craziest and most desperate madmen dare to traverse. Alex and Fonzie are two such individuals, and they are about to take the contract of their lives leading a convoy of misfits and mercenaries on a mission to deliver a cargo of precious medicine across the desolate plain. They’ll face lawless hordes and competing agents, and their fleet will winnow before they reach their destination, but none of those opponents will be prepared for Alex and her wily ways…
Buckle up for an explosive tale of hard-boiled anti-heroes riding the razor’s edge between Death and Destiny… A pulse-pounding one-two punch full of criminal behavior and karmic justice from two of the most genre-pushing comic creators: Kevan Stevens and Jef!
