Highlights for October 19th 2011

Comic book legend Alan Moore (WATCHMEN) and brilliant artist Jacen Burrows deliver a chilling tale of Lovecraftian horror! Brears and Lamper, two young and cocky FBI agents, investigate a fresh series of ritual murders somehow tied to the final undercover assignment of Aldo Sax -the once golden boy of the Bureau, now a convicted killer and inmate of a maximum security prison. From their interrogation of Sax (where he spoke exclusively in inhuman tongues) to a related drug raid on a seedy rock club rife with arcane symbols and otherworldly lyrics, they suspect that they are on the trail of something awful... but nothing can prepare them for the creeping insanity and unspeakable terrors they will face in the small harbor town of Innsmouth. NEONOMICON collects Alan Moore's comic book series for the first time in its entirety - including his original graphic novel, THE COURTYARD, which chronicled Aldo Sax's tragic encounter with the (somewhat) mortal agents of the Old Ones! Available in softcover and hardcover formats, with illustrated covers by Jacen Burrows (CROSSED)

With civilization itself tottering after the outbreak of the zombie plague, fomrer police offier Rick Grimes leads a group of survivors in search of shelter and safety as zombie hordes roam the countryside in Robert Kirkman's best-selling comic book, The Walking Dead, from Image Comics. Fans of the series can add characters from the series to their collections, including Officer Rick Grimes (includes bag of weapons), Michonne (comes with sword and tools of revenge), the Zombie Lurker (includes removeable arms, skull, guts, and torso), and the Zombie Roamer (includes removeable arms, axe, and exploding head action). Each figure is highly articulated and features a sculpt based on the artwork from the best-selling series.

In late 1991, bolstered by the popularity of UNCANNY X-MEN's all-star creative team of Chris Claremont and Jim Lee, Marvel launched a second monthly mutant title: X-MEN! Now, twenty years later, the double-sized inaugural issue of that run is remastered, reimagined and recolored in modern style - gatefold cover and all - by colorist Thomas Mason! The X-Men's all-new Blue and Gold teams have never looked more heroic, Magneto and his Acolytes have never seemed so dangerous, and Jim Lee's kinetic action sequences practically leap off the page! Revisit a seminal moment in mutant history - like you've never seen it before!
