The Oddball's Odyssey #1

Tony Millionaire – winner of five Eisner Awards, three Harvey Awards, and an Ignatz – is the visionary cartoonist behind the critically acclaimed Sock Monkey graphic novels and the world-renowned Maakies comic strip. Collaborating with superstar colorist Jim Campbell (OVER THE GARDEN WALL), Millionaire nimbly fuses the master storytelling of Homer's The Odyssey with the surreal beauty and intricately rendered linework of Moebius's Arzach to deliver this breathtaking masterpiece.
Divine providence has finally done what no hangover ever could – Bobby Dougherty is sober. But fate works fast and it’s not long until Bobby tumbles back off the wagon. A single glance at the radiant swan Lucia Serena DelMar leaves the former booze-hound monkey drunk on love and hopelessly devoted. When Lucia takes flight, Bobby refuses to let his chance at love slip through his fingers. Joined by his faithful friend Jimmy Skunk, he sets off on a perilous journey across distant lands – through impossible labyrinths, over treacherous seas and into the path of a vicious, fire-spitting minotaur in an epic quest to win Lucia’s heart.

Hana provides Taru with both solace and an opportunity to find her own way. When Taru's village is once again attacked by giant rampaging forest beasts, the unlikely pair will work together to try to understand the uncontrollable and deadly force that threatens them.

Pathfinder Omnibus TP

This fantastic omnibus edition collects these three Pathfinder books from Dynamite in single softcover volume:
• PATHFINDER: GOBLINS
The goblins from Paizo’s Pathfinder RPG are pint-sized psychopaths, wreaking havoc across the land. Infamous for their unpredictable attacks, catchy raiding songs, hatred of dogs, and fear of horses, goblins blend mischief and murderousness like no other monsters!
• PATHFINDER: DARK WATER RISING
The warrior Valeros can rely on his sword arm and his friends — the mysterious sorceress Seoni, the quick-witted elven rogue Merisiel, the powerful wizard Ezren, the well-traveled dwarven ranger Harsk, and the courageous cleric Kyra — but nothing can prepare him for the dangers that lurk ahead. The scattered goblin tribes of Varisia are unifying in ways no one has ever seen before. At the heart of this strange evolution is an ancient force of evil looking to establish itself anew in the world of Golarion!
• PATHFINDER: OF TOOTH AND CLAW
When Valeros and his companions are tasked with tracking down a mysterious beast scaring the locals of Sandpoint, they find far more than they bargained for. A seemingly simple monster hunt becomes a twisted tale of danger and betrayal as the Cult of Lamashtu exacts its revenge on our iconic heroes!
Bonus features in this capacious compendium include more than 80 pages of encounters, characters, and world-building details for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, as well as a comprehensive cover gallery filled with astonishing illustrations!

Hans Vogel is Dead Vol. 2 TP

Deceased Nazi ace pilot Hans Vogel continues his journey through an eerie afterlife populated by figures from German folklore in this second graphic novel installment of Hans Vogel is Dead.
Just when he’s begun to take responsibility for his actions in life, direct confrontation with the Erlking, his vicious allies, and Hans’s own past may send him spiraling back into denial—leaving Reineke, the young fox-girl in his care, in danger.
Hans thought he and Reineke would be safe in the castle where resistance to the evil Erlking is rallying its forces. Instead he found a doddering old king clinging to broken ideals, tension amongst the would-be allies, and a ghost from his past with its talons around his throat. So when he and Reineke have a chance to leave the castle in pursuit of a wayward princess, they take it.
Running from his fears takes him from an imprisoned potential ally to the heart of his enemy’s fortress, but his time is running out, and a collision with the monsters within and without are inevitable. Can he muster his post-mortem morality to make a stand for what’s right, or will he return to complicit cowardice?
Sierra Barnes weaves a rich anti-fascist fairytale about the importance of recognizing past wrongs, even (especially) when it’s easier not to.
