Mysterius the Unfathomable<\/span><\/a> Written by Jeff Parker Art by Tom Fowler<\/span><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n When Ella attends a s\u00e9ance for a report in her local paper, she gets sucked into the world of Mysterius (the Unfathomable), a magician who’s more than just a performer of flashy tricks. Sensing Ella is the perfect person to play the role of his assistant, Delfi (the latest in a long line), Mysterius hires her. Their cases drag them deep into the modern world of magic, at least one pocket dimension, and the wicker effigy about to be set alight at a Burning-Man-esque festival. Acclaimed creators Jeff Parker (X-Men: The First Class<\/span><\/a>, Agents of Atlas<\/span><\/a>) and Tom Fowler (GREEN ARROW, CAPER) make their WildStorm debut with this exciting, offbeat new miniseries!<\/p>\n What a hoot! Really enjoyed the first Agents of Atlas<\/span> collection and digging Fowler’s Jack Davis-inspired art.<\/span><\/p>\n \n Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Allies<\/span><\/a> by Christie Golden<\/span><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n \nWhat began as a quest for truth has become a struggle for survival for Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben. They have used the secrets of the Mindwalkers to transcend their own bodies and speak with the spirits of the fallen, risking their very lives in the process. They have faced a team of Sith assassins and beaten the odds to destroy them. And now the death squad\u2019s sole survivor, Sith apprentice Vestara Khai, has summoned an entire fleet of Sith frigates to engage the embattled father and son. But the dark warriors come bearing a surprising proposition that will bring Jedi and Sith together in an unprecedented alliance against an evil more ancient and alien than they can imagine.<\/p>\n While the Skywalkers and their Sith allies set off on their joint mission into the treacherous web of black holes that is the Maw, Han and Leia Solo risk arrest and worse to aid the Jedi imprisoned back on Coruscant. Tyrannical Chief of State Natasi Daala has issued orders that will open a permanent schism between her government and the Jedi Order\u2014a schism that could turn all Jedi into renegades and wanted criminals. <\/p>\n But it is in the depths of the Maw that the future of the galaxy will be decided. For there the Skywalkers and their Sith allies will engage a true monster in battle, and Luke will come face-to-face with a staggering truth.<\/p>\n \n Mind Games<\/span><\/a> by Carolyn Crane<\/span><\/p>\n Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n JUSTINE KNOWS SHE\u2019S GOING TO DIE. ANY SECOND NOW.<\/p>\n Justine Jones has a secret. A hardcore hypochondriac, she\u2019s convinced a blood vessel is about to burst in her brain. Then, out of the blue, a startlingly handsome man named Packard peers into Justine\u2019s soul and invites her to join his private crime-fighting team. It\u2019s a once-in-a-lifetime deal. With a little of Packard\u2019s hands-on training, Justine can weaponize her neurosis, turning it outward on Midcity\u2019s worst criminals, and finally get the freedom from fear she\u2019s always craved. End of problem. <\/p>\n Or is it? In Midcity, a dashing police chief is fighting a unique breed of outlaw with more than human powers. And while Justine\u2019s first missions, including one against a nymphomaniac husband-killer, are thrilling successes, there is more to Packard than meets the eye. Soon, while battling her attraction to two very different men, Justine is plunging deeper into a world of wizardry, eroticism, and cosmic secrets. With Packard\u2019s help, Justine has freed herself from her madness\u2014only to discover a reality more frightening than anyone\u2019s worst fears.<\/p>\n \nMore in Part II<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let\u2019s take a quick look to see what\u2019s arrived in the mail here at the Geek Compound.
