Emerging from the pages of writer Neil Gaiman's award-winning series The Sandman, the former Lord of Hell is now enjoying a quiet retirement as the propretor of Lux, L.A.'s most elite piano bar. Still weak, with most of his power locked in the feathers stolen by Susano-O-No-Mikoto, Lucifer faces the challenge of single combat to the death with his brother, the angel of the Host Amenadiel. But when victory comes at the sacrifice of another, Lucifer embarks on a voyage that will take him to the depths of his former kingdom and beyond to retrieve their lost soul." -- Horror genre. -- Call no.: PN6728.L82C303 2014 ----------------------------------------------------- Lucifer.

What shall avail us now?" So laments the Heavenly host, left behind by God to ponder His departure. For their elder brother Lucifer Morningstar, however, the disappearance of Yahweh brings to mind a more practical concern--survival, both for himself and, secondarily, his Father's creation. As chaos rushes to fill the vacuum of God's absence, those who mark themselves as wronged by Heaven prepare to storm the Primum Mobile and smash its palaces to rubble. But even if the angels of the Silver City can hold their walls, they cannot defend them against the greater threat that has just awoken, hungry to fulfill the terrible dictates of its nature. Only Lucifer can see what is coming to Yggdrasil, the World Tree, and what will happen at its roots when it arrives. The Hour of the Wolf is at hand, and its echoes threaten to shatter the foundations of Lucifer's cosmos as well as our own. That, the Lightbringer will not allow." -- Horror genre. -- Call no.: PN6728.L82C304 2014 ----------------------------------------------------- Wonder Woman to the Rescue! / by Courtney Carbone ; illustrated by Erik Doescher. -- New York : Random House, 2016. -- 24 p. : col. ill. ; 23 cm + press-out tiara and bracelets. -- (DC Super Friends) -- (Step into reading.

When two women, a beautiful amnesiac albino giantess and her protector, a leather-tough woman called Crabby, arrive in this South American desert town, Albina's otherworldly allure and unfettered sensuality turns men into wild animals. Chased at the same time by a clubfoot criminal, Albina and Crabby must fend off their aggressors before the town consumes itself in an orgy of lust and violence. -- Call no.: PQ7298.2 .O3A6513 2016 Mac Adam, Alfred J., 1941- ----------------------------------------------------- Homeland / R.A.

Of course, his mission is to increase return on investment for the shareholders, but for Behemoth that return has to be in souls. Francis is appalled but obligated to kowtow to the almighty consultant, determined to take power and pervert the rules of Zombillenium. Meanwhile, Aurelian goes through a bad patch. Depressed by his immortal status and the absurdity of his life (sorry, his death) he's burned out. And burnout, in a powerful demon, can be devastating. Held back in extremis by Gretchen, he avoids the worst. This is timely, because Gretchen has a plan for him.

He slows down and visits the forests, fields, streams, and overgrown abandoned lots that surround every city. He studies the flora and fauna around us. He looks at the overlooked. Porcellino also digs deep into a quintessential American endeavour-the road trip. Uprooting his comfortable life several times in From Lone Mountain, John drives through the country weaving from small town to small town, experiencing America in slow motion, avoiding the sameness of airports and overwhelming hustle of major cities. From Lone Mountain collects stories from Porcellino's influential zine King-Cat-John enters a new phase of his life, as he remarries and decides to leave his beloved second home Colorado for San Francisco. Grand themes of King-Cat are visited and stated more eloquently than ever before: serendipity, memory, and the quest for meaning in the everyday. Over the past three decades, Porcellino's beloved King-Cat has offered solace to his readers: his gentle observational stories take the pulse of everyday life and reveal beauty in the struggle to keep going. -- Includes index. -- Autobiographical genre. -- Call no.: PN6727.P556F7 2018 ----------------------------------------------------- The Complete Strange Growths : 1991-1997 / by Jenny Zervakis. -- South Beloit, IL : Spit and a Half, 2017. -- 239 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. -- Includes index. -- Summary (from OCLC): At a time when most "alternative comics" were loud, abrasive, and sarcastic, Jenny's autobiographical zine, Strange Growths, was warm, understated, and emotionally bare.

In the stories gathered in Yellow Negroes and Other Imaginary Creatures--drawn between 1994 and 2011, and never before available in English--he uses stark, endlessly inventive black-and-white brushwork to explore love and race, oppression and escape. It is both an extraordinary experiment in visual storytelling and an essential, deeply personal political statement. With unsettling power, the title story depicts the lives of undocumented migrant workers in Paris. Alain, a Beninese immigrant, struggles to protect his family and his white girlfriend, Claire, while engaged in a strange, tragic dance of obsession and repulsion with Mario, a retired French Algerian policeman.

Play it long enough and you'll see those brightly colored geometric shapes everywhere. You'll see them in your dreams. Alexey Pajitnov had big ideas about games.

A bidding war was sparked, followed by clandestine trips to Moscow, backroom deals, innumerable miscommunications, and outright theft.
