Changing Ways: Volume Oneby Justin Randall
How do you trust someone when you no longer know yourself? David Barrot, a retired Corrections Officer, moved to Grey Oaks after the tragic death of his son, Cale. With wife Lucy and daughter Jessie, the Barrot family bought a farm on the outskirts of town and began their new life, putting aside all the dark events of their past. Unfortunately for them, the dark just won’t leave David alone. The first sightings started months ago, igniting rumors of disease and infection. Newspapers reported unusual lesions appearing on livestock and stories of strange side effects spread quickly. Perhaps it was inevitable that the people of Grey Oaks would be next... These are their Changing Ways. 128 pages, F/C $17.95 Rombiesby Tom Taylor & Skye Ogden

Waldo's Hawaiian Holidayby Alex Cox, Chris Bones & Justin Randall Repo Man is one of the great cult movies of the eighties; now Cox and artists Chris Bones & Justin Randall have delivered a graphic novel sequel that takes the punk aesthetic of the original film and delivers it kicking and screaming into 2008...
Cox explains: "Ten years after REPO MAN, I became interested in the idea of a sequel. Specifically - what had happened to Otto, during his ten-year absence from Earth? And what would he make of the changes which had taken place in his absence? Otto, it would appear, has been held prisoner, in great luxury, on the planet Mars. Now he has returned to Earth, and changed his name -- to Waldo." Synopsis: Sample chapter available at www.waldoshawaiianholiday.com ! 176 pages, Full Colour $17.95
Vowelsby Skye Ogden Simple forms, detailed worlds, real characters...
Spanning five imaginary eras, "Vowels" examines the human condition through eyes that aren't human at all and serves as a gentle reminder to look at ourselves and all that we are capable of. "Awesome art direction and narrative. Truly an inspiring, reflective piece of brutality
& beauty that deserves to be read by
all." "Ogden is an enormously stylish artist, and he’s
made an ambitious debut." "In Skye Ogden you definitely have a skilled
cartoonist, and a creator to watch." "Vowels" draws you into its seemingly-familiar landscapes and the lives of the creatures who inhabit them, and it holds you there long after you’ve finished reading. Sample chapter available at www.skyeogden.com 88 pages, B/W $9.95
