In a near future, technology has firmly taken root into society at large. Cybernetic implants are nothing uncommon and robots roam as plentiful as humans, all connected through their ''ghosts'' to the electronic datastreams of the net. Major Motoko Kusanagi and the Public Security Section 9 find themselves in a constant battle with the newly created wave of technological terrorists and cyber-hackers. But things take a turn once Motoko gets involved in a certain case involving an extremely dangerous ''ghost''hacker nicknamed the Puppeteer, as she dives deeper and deeper into the limitless reality of the net, to reach her own startling conclusions.  Ghost in the Shell Synopsis - Anime News Network



Die Hard: Year One, Volume 1

Iron Man: I am Iron Man

Now Tony sees the folly of his greed, and sets out to right wrongs as the armored avenger…Iron Man!  Iron Man Synopsis - Marvel




It's summer in New York, but a "chill" has settled over the city – a serial killer is on the loose, and the ritualized murders are becoming increasingly sadistic. The NYPD and the FBI have a suspect: a gorgeous young woman named Arlana. The only problem is that every witness provides a different description of her. None of it makes any sense to anyone except Martin Cleary, a beaten-down Irish cop from Boston with a whopper of a secret in his past – and a past that may go back a century or two .  The Chill Synopsis - Vertigo Comics



Fringe

FBI Agent Olivia Dunham, brilliant scientist Walter Bishop and his estranged son Peter investigate the world of "fringe science" (telepathy, time travel, etc.) following suspicions that the large scientific research company, Massive Dynamic, is experimenting on the general public.  Fringe Synopsis - WildStorm Comics




“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who ages in reverse: He is born seventy years old and becomes younger as the years progress. This faithful graphic-novel adaptation chronicles Benjamin Button’s many adventures: He falls in love with a woman who ages normally (this causes complications), starts a family, and establishes a successful business. In his later years, he attends Harvard and plays on their football team. By the time he is an old man, Benjamin Button resembles a baby.  The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Synopsis - Quirk Books



JLA: Year One

The definitive tale of the JLA's formation is back in a new printing of the massive book starring The Flash, Green Lantern, Black Canary, Martian Manhunter and Aquaman. Collecting the entire, original twelve-issue miniseries!  JLA: Year One Synopsis - DC Universe




What would you do for a million dollars? Would you resurrect a two and one half century old corpse? Harold Gaynor poses just that question to Animator and part-time vampire hunter, Anita Blake... Plus, some crime scenes are even too horrible for a vampire slayer… and the worse they are, the more questions they raise.  Anita Blake Synopsis - Marvel



Farscape: D'Argo's Lament

He’s been a warrior. He’s been a prisoner, falsely convicted of his wife’s murder. Now among the strange crew of the living ship Moya, D’Argo tries to protect his friends while avoiding the grip of the Peacekeepers! D’Argo and Jool only need some equipment for Moya, else she and everyone inside her dies. An important mission soon gets out of hand when D’Argo finds himself between two warring factions, each trying to use D’Argo for their own purpose!  Farscape Synopsis - BOOM! Studios




John Constantine is an unconcerned, somewhat amoral occultist with a British working-class background. He's a hero, of sorts, who manages to come out on top through a combination of luck, trickery, and genuine magical skill.  Hellblazer Synopsis - Vertigo Comics



Kookaburra K

From beyond the farthest frontiers of any solar system explored by man, a destructive force is sweeping through the universe wiping Callystes, Dakoï, Lilith and Planet Earth from the stellar map. A rocket full of refugees hurtles through space with the letter “K” emblazoned on its side. On board the unlikely crew of seven children, several adults, an ancient wizard-knight and the ghost of a cyborg travel with a mysterious cargo that will alter their fates forever.  Kookaburra K Synopsis - Marvel
