Before Ghost in the Shell came Appleseed--Shirow Masamune's visionary science fiction manga series, now available in Dark Horse's acclaimed deluxe hardcover format, featuring wrap around cover art, full color end sheets, ribbon bookmark and gilded edges! The year is 2127. In the aftermath of a devastating global war, Deunan and Briareos are just the kind of couple you'd find managing to survive--she's a former SWAT team member, he's a cyborg former mercenary. Both of them are found in the ruins by Hitomi, a young woman who recruits them to work for Olympus, an ultra-advanced, experimental city-state that survived the apocalypse. It's an oasis of peace that now seeks to step outside its protected zone to try to reconstruct the world...but to do so, its philosophers, planners, and scientists will need the support of people who know how to fight. Olympus can offer them a new, safe home--and the chance to use the most advanced weapons tech on earth, including the powered combat armor known as the Landmate. And so Deunan and Briareos are drawn into the paradoxes and power struggles of Olympus: their new job, to serve and protect the people of a city whose secrets they know little about. Protect them both from outsiders, and from themselves--for while Deunan and Briareos may believe enough in Olympus to put their lives on the line for it, they're far too smart to be satisfied being anyone's mere pawns, even in the most noble cause... Features: - Wraparound six-color cover art, printed on silver foil to express the future aesthetic - Four-color end sheets- Sewn-in bookmark - Color metallic edge gilding on pages. Collects Appleseed Volume 1: The Promethean Challenge, Appleseed Volume 2: Prometheus Unbound, Appleseed Volume 3: The Scales of Prometheus, Appleseed Volume 4: The Promethean Balance.

Based on the critically-acclaimed novel The Last Human, The Last Human in a Crowded Galaxy is a whimsical and endearing space opera graphic novel about identity, free will, and found family. Sarya the Daughter doesn't know she's a Human, and that's better for everyone. Just ask her adoptive mother, the terrifying spider-like alien known as Shenya the Widow. Or don't, because Shenya the Widow would do anything to keep her adopted daughter's identity a secret. That's why they've come to Watertower, the notoriously low-security border station at the edge of the galaxy-spanning Galactic Network. But Humans are curious beings, and Sarya is no exception. When she sets out on a quest to find out what she is, she triggers a station-wide security crisis. Now hunted by a powerful Network Auditor and the equally formidable Shenya the Widow, it's only a matter of time until a crisis becomes a disaster.

For the first time, DC collects the 1970s and 1980s short-run comics by prolific writer/artist Jack Kirby in one massive hardcover featuring the Demon, OMAC, Super Powers, The Losers and many more. In the world of comic books, few writers or artists loom as large as the legendary Jack Kirby. By the early 1970s, he'd already spent 30 pioneering years innovating and exploring the comics art form. After a groundbreaking decade at Marvel, Kirby returned to DC Comics and immediately began crafting some of his best-loved works, most notably his cosmic epic, the Fourth World saga. For anyone but Jack Kirby, this colossal masterpiece would have been contribution enough to the DC canon, but "the King" spent that same period revitalizing all corners of the DC Universe, from superhero antics to experimental horror to wartime realism, and creating such unforgettable characters as Etrigan the Demon and OMAC. This volume pulls together more than 1,400 pages of these "other" Kirby comics from the 1970s and 1980s, featuring the Demon, the Sandman, the Losers and more! Collects stories from In the Days of the Mob #1-2, Spirit World #1, Weird Mystery Tales #1-3, The Demon #1-16, The Sandman #1-6, OMAC #1-8, Our Fighting Forces #151-162, Super Powers (Vol. 1) #1-5, Super Powers (Vol. 2) #1-6 and many more!
