BLOOD+ VOLUME 2
Written and art by Asuka Katsura.
Filling in details and expanding upon events in the Blood+ mythos, the Blood+ manga series is the official adaptation and companion to the popular Blood+ anime series that's been running on Adult Swim -- and to the Dark Horse novels of the same name! In this manga volume, the deranged Charles takes center stage -- and traumatizes Riku, Saya's sweet, adoptive brother. With only vague moments and memories slowly returning to her after a year as an amnesiac, Saya's still not sure why the confident, one-armed Charles is tormenting her. What she does know is that she's determined to hold her own against a small army of blood-craving Chiropteran beasts when they threaten her and her loved ones. She also learns an important lesson in Chiropteran physiology!

WORMWOOD, VOL. 2 TPB
Written, art and cover by Ben Templesmith.
In "It Only Hurts When I Pee," the second collection of Wormwood, the tale of the Gentleman Corpse move beyond the simply bizarre (see Wormwood, Vol. 1) into the sublime lunacy of Lephrechaunia. Wormwood and his eclectic posse search for the Leprechaun Queen, the only being capable of lifting the terminal curse that our hero has contracted -- but if the rabid leprechauns and dimension travel hasn't already set your head spinning, that'll be taken care of by the Squidmen, a terrifying collective of "gatherers" hell-bent on ingesting everything they get their tentacles on. Did we mention they've had it out for Wormwood ever since he committed an unspeakable genocide against their species? This collection includes issues #5-7, along with a special one-shot, all written and drawn by Templesmith.
120 pages, $19.99.

GRAVEL #1
Written by Warren Ellis and Mike Wolfer, art by Raulo Caceres, cover by Wolfer.
It's never a dull day, being a Magician. The mad mind of Warren Ellis is once again unleashed on combat magician William Gravel, this time on a full-color, on-going monthly series!
Magic. Everyone thought that he was dead, including the Minor Seven, the secret enclave of Britain's Occult Detectives. But Combat Magician William Gravel is very much alive and looking for the answers to how and why his place in the Minor Seven was filled by another and what the secret society is doing with the Sigsand Manuscript, an ancient supernatural text of unparalleled power. In a quiet, country cottage, Gravel will find the first clues to the Sigsand's location and in the darkness of the cottage's basement, a disturbing, unnatural thing that slithered into our dimension by the power of the ancient tome... Brought here from somewhere that mortal man could not possibly comprehend. The kind of magic that can strip the skin from a screaming man's skull, or direct the path of a shrieking bullet through a maze of city streets, striking its target between the eyes with pin-point accuracy. This is not just magic... This is Combat Magic, wielded by Sergeant Major William Gravel, Warren Ellis' cult-hit sensation from the pages of Strange Kiss and Strange Killings, now in his own, ongoing, full-color monthly series!
This issue is available with a regular cover by Mike Wolfer, a wraparound by Raulo Caceres, a special Signed Poster edition package with a color poster of the #0 cover signed by artist Mike Wolfer, and also a rare 1-in-15 Black Magic Edition featuring a new cover by Wolfer.
