Conan: Scourage of the Serpent by Jim Zub, Cover Art Roberto De La Torre
I have come to really enjoy Jim Zub's writing on the Conan francise. I have no doubt that this will not
disappoint.

The serpent god's influence tightens its coils around the Hyborian Age and every other age linked to it. Three stunning supernatural stories will spiral together to answer a chilling question framed in past and present-What is Set's grand plan for humanity and, now that it has begun, can it be stopped?
Energon Universe: Classified, Image Comics
The Energon stories by Image have been a highlight of the last year for me. I look forward to this book for a preview of what is to come in 3 of the Energon Universe books.
A perfect jumping on point for new readers with huge revelations for long time fans!
One of the best parts of FCBD is taking a look at books that you might not normally pick up.
These previews just might lead to some of you future favorites like the Energon Universe discussed above. I don't read much Manga, but this might be a first.

Kodansha presents exclusive previews of two new action manga, before they arrive in stores! Manga master Tsutomu Nihei (BLAME!, Knights of Sidonia) brings his genius to bear on the fantasy genre for the first time in Tower Dungeon, which pits a precocious farmboy against a crumbling world of malformed creatures, wounded soldiers, and labyrinthine darkness. Issak follows a Japanese warrior's journey to Europe in search of vengeance, at the height of the Thirty Years' War. Vinland Saga meets Shogun in this American Manga Awards-nominated masterwork.
A good story doesn't have to have space ships, swords, and fantasy worlds. This looks like a good story by a famous former NBA Star and Civil Rights advocate.
A high school student whose promising basketball career is in jeopardy discovers the triumphs and hardships of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's life as a social justice advocate in this stunningly illustrated graphic novel.
Monk Travers is the star basketball player on his high school team. Confident about his future as an NBA player, he doesn't see the point in caring much about school, let alone his community. But his world is about to change-big time!
