     --NEW BOOKS OF NOTE--
SEEDS TP
By Ann Nocenti and David Aja! Started as 2 single issues but finished in this full collection. The bees are swarming. What do they know that we don't? In a broken-down world, a rebellious group of ruthless romantics have fled a tech-obsessed society to create their own . . . and a few cantankerous aliens have come to harvest the last seeds of humanity.
STAR WARS ADVENTURES SMUGGLERS RUN #1
Greg Rucka writes STar Wars Adventures! After the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo and Chewbacca intend to use their reward to settle their debts. But Princess Leia asks them to accept a secret mission for the Resistance. Mortal dangers, traitorous enemies, and thorny situations mark the path of these two heroes of the Star Wars saga.
PICTURE OF EVERYTHING ELSE #1
As the 20th century dawns, art promises to change the world...and steep it in blood. A rash of impossible killings sweep through Paris, tearing the rich and beautiful apart in their beds. When two art thieves stumble upon the portraits of the victims damaged in the exact same manner they died, it appears the man who once painted the immortal portrait of Dorian Gray has returned-with darker plans for future works.

     --NEW BOOKS OF NOTE--
RECKLESS HC BRUBAKER & PHILLIPS
Meet Ethan Reckless: Your trouble is his business, for the right price. But when a fugitive from his student radical days reaches out for help, Ethan must face the only thing he fears... his own past.
POST AMERICANA #1
The Cheyanne mountain installation, aka The BUBBLE, is the most sophisticated super bunker in the world. It was built to ensure the survival of America's executive branch of government and its most important citizens, should the unthinkable happen. When the world ended, the executive branch failed to reach the sanctuary, but the elite citizenry did. Eighty years later, one of their own has named himself the new President of the United States. His plan? Subjugate the survivors of the American Wasteland using the same bunker resources meant to rebuild it. The only thing standing in their way is a deadly Wasteland girl, hellbent on revenge!
SOLID BLOOD #17
A Robert Kirkman/Ryan Ottley book from the FUTURE! Featuring characters they talked about making into comics but never actually did, so HOW DOES THIS EXIST??
DARK MULTIVERSE CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS

EXPANSE #1
A new limited series event set between Season 4 and Season 5 of Amazon's hit series
KING IN BLACK IMMORTAL HULK #1
The Hulk is in a bad place. Half of his alters are dead or missing - including Bruce Banner - and the Leader's got the rest of him on the ropes. But never let it be said that Joe Fixit doesn't know how to have a good time - and he's out to make sure this is the best holiday the Hulk's ever had. He just has to fight his way through a planet of symbiotes first. A silent issue.
SAM & HIS TALKING GUN #1
Sam stands in a room full of bodies, blood, and broken things. The only thing on his mind? Colt. His brother, blood or not. Colt, who killed the only other person Sam had left. Colt, who broke Sam's mind, and left the shattered pieces in an asylum. But Sam is back. He has his talking Gun. And no matter the cost, no matter the consequence: Colt has to pay.
SECOND COMING ONLY BEGOTTEN SON #1
The infant Sunstar will grow up to fulfill his destiny as Earth's most powerful superhero and roommate to Jesus Christ - but first, he and his parents must endure the mundane and the tedious on the last night of the doomed planet Zirconia.
BLACK CAT #1
A "King in Black" tie-in, because why not? Knull's attack on Earth interrupts the Black Cat's latest heist, and if you know Felicia, you know that's a problem. So the Cat and her crew aim to steal something of greatest value to both Knull and Earth's hope of survival.
