THE RISE OF AURORA WEST by Paul Pope, JT Petty, and David Rubin
“Paul Pope's Battling Boy graphic novel was one of the best things to happen to superhero comics in the past year. And it left us wondering about Aurora West…”


REVIEWS:
ABOVE THE DREAMLESS DEAD: World War I in Poetry and Comics edited by Chris Duffy
VOYA, October 2014 issue
“This wonderful book—beautiful, tragic, funny, and heartbreaking—is perfect to introduce the Trench Poets.”


THE WRENCHIES by Farel Dalrymple
Fanboy Comics, September 15, 2014: READ IT HERE!
Part idiosyncratic quasi-memoir, part Lord of the Flies meets Mad Max, [Dalrymple] embellishes his tale with the art of the grotesque, cultivating an almost European flavor to his pages…The artwork of the sublimely disturbing carnival and freak show, given life by a furious imagination.”

Newsarama, September 11, 2014: AUTHOR INTERVIEW!
“There are so many things in that book that were really personal to me that it is hard to pick and choose which ones I hoped people would get or not. I could go through it page-by-page with someone and point out all the hidden things, but then might the spell lose some of its power?”
