The magical child whose ominous coming has been foretold for the past hundred years has now been born and has grown up to claim his dreadful heritage. His promised aeon of unending terror can commence, the world can now be ended starting with North London, and there is no League, extraordinary or otherwise, that now stands in his way. The bitter, intractable war of attrition in Q\u2019umar crawls bloodily to its fifth year, away in Kashmir a Sikh terrorist with a now-nuclear-armed submarine wages a holy war against Islam that might push the whole world into atomic holocaust, and in a London mental institution there\u2019s a patient who insists that she has all the answers.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/61MW8zOz5WL._SL500_AA300_.jpg\" border=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Episode-2-Antares-Vol\/dp\/1849181209\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1343609857&amp;amp;sr=1-1&amp;amp;keywords=9781849181204\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"postlink\"><span style=\"font-style: italic\">Atares Episode 2<\/span><\/a><br \/>\nby Leo<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Antares mission is underway. Kim, her daughter and her companions are on board the interstellar ship that carries the would-be colonists. Conditions are far from ideal, though. The fanaticism and bigotry of a large number of the passengers, all members of the project leader\u2019s sect, are putting everyone on edge. As well, there are rumours of substandard equipment for the expedition. By the time they reach Antares, Kim and her friends are already disillusioned\u2026 and the worst is yet to come.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51coM7KCwtL._SL500_AA300_.jpg\" border=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fever-Graphic-Novel-Karen-Moning\/dp\/0345525485\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1343610054&amp;amp;sr=1-1&amp;amp;keywords=9780345525482\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"postlink\"><span style=\"font-style: italic\">Fever Moon<\/span><\/a><br \/>\nby Karen Marie Moning<br \/>\nAdapted by David Lawrence<br \/>\nArt by Al Rio and Cliff Richards<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>An all-new Mac &amp;amp; Barrons story by #1 <span style=\"font-style: italic\">New York Times<\/span> bestselling author Karen Marie Moning, marvelously adapted into a full-color graphic novel by writer David Lawrence and illustrator Al Rio<\/p>\n<p>In Fever Moon, we meet the most ancient and deadly Unseelie ever created, the Fear Dorcha.

Award-winning graphic novelist Eddie Campbell (<span style=\"font-style: italic\">From Hell<\/span>, <span style=\"font-style: italic\">Alec<\/span>) presents a fascinating journey into the wilderness of personal finance. With his trademark blend of research, anecdote, autobiography, and fantasy, Campbell explores how money underwrites human relationships, flowing all around us like the air we breathe \u2013 or the water we drown in. The result is a whimsical graphic essay, deeply grounded in Eddie\u2019s personal experiences with &ldquo;the lovely horrible stuff,&rdquo; ranging from the imaginary wealth of Ponzi schemes and television pilots to the all-too-tangible stone currency of the Micronesian island of Yap. In a world where drawing corporate superheroes requires literally transforming oneself into a corporation (which is kept in a shoebox under the bed), we are in strange territory, indeed. Fortunately, Campbell\u2019s wry eye and vivid full-color artwork imbue the proceedings with real humanity, making <span style=\"font-style: italic\">The Lovely Horrible Stuff<\/span> an investment that\u2019s worth every penny.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tumblr-crosspostr-linkback\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.revolutionsf.com\/revblogs\/geekcurmudgeon\/2012\/07\/30\/graphic-novels-received-72912\/\" title=\"Go to the original post.\" rel=\"bookmark\" target=\"_blank\">Graphic novels received 7\/29\/12<\/a> was originally published on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.revolutionsf.com\/revblogs\/geekcurmudgeon\" target=\"_blank\">The Geek Curmudgeon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s take a quick look to see what\u2019s arrived at the Geek Compound.
