Ephemera is a hauntingly beautiful graphic novel about memories and loss

Ephemera is a poetic and dreamlike take on a graphic memoir set in a garden, a forest, and a greenhouse. The story drifts among a grown woman, her early memories as a child, and the gossamer existence of her mother.

Crazy Food Truck Vol. 3 (VIZ Media) – Every volume has been amazing with great action and an intriguing apocalyptic world.

Dead Romans #1 (Image Comics) – Arminius, a Germanic prince raised in Rome, has sworn vengeance against the Empire that butchers his people. We’re excited for this brutal tale of love and war during the birth of the Roman Empire.

Doctor Strange #1 (Marvel) – Stephen Strange is back making this a perfect jumping off point.

Ephemera (Fantagraphics) – Ephemera is a poetic and dreamlike take on a graphic memoir set in a garden, a forest, and a greenhouse. Yeah, we’re in.

Mother 47 (CEX Publishing) – In 1940s Germany, a disguised stranger breaks into a remote Nazi megastructure, armed with explosives, and on a mission to destroy a gruesome research project, free its lab animals, and confront the warring sides of his own nature! Sounds awesome to us!

Order and Outrage #1 (Dark Horse) – Jim Starlin and Rags Morales with a new science fiction series!

Plush #5 (Image Comics) – Each issue has been jaw-dropping in a holy shit sort of way and we’re expecting much more as far as that.

Sereno #1 (CEX Publishing) – Meet Sereno, the Mystic Master of Light and guardian of New Teia, a city where magic and science intertwine by night! Sounds pretty cool to us.

Solo Leveling Vol. 6 (Yen Press/Ize Press) – The series has been great and this is a volume that really shifts things around.
