By Nate Powell. The third issue follows in suit with Nate Powell's previous efforts -- pensive, impressionistic tales of miscommunication, love, self-determination and fear. This issue is part one of a two-part story arc entitled "Satellite Worlds," featuring a dozen main characters, a few mammals, and two little parakeets thrown in for good measure. A sweeping sense of understatement and the sweet sadness of people young and old looking for answers, for companionship, or for a line on their epitaphs carries half a dozen intermingled plotlines all working toward the same end. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.

AIT/Planet Lar Edition - 1st printing. Written by Rob Morrison. Art by Charlie Adlard. For four years, 'The Great War,' World War I, raged across the planet. Millions were sent to their deaths in pointless battles. The Italian Front stretched along the borders of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empires, in treacherous mountain regions. In the last months of 1916, a private in the Italian Bersaglieri returns to his childhood home in the Trentino mountain range to find it no longer a place of adventure and wonder as it was in his youth, but a place of death and despair. Amongst the weapons of both armies, none is more feared than the White Death: thundering avalanches deliberately caused by cannon fire... which, like war itself, consumes everything in their path. Softcover, 144 pages, B&W. Cover price $12.95.
