  Besides my usual list:
  
  Adventure Time: Princess and Princess OGN
  Over the Garden Wall vol. 3 TP
  Michael Chabon’s The Escapist: Amazing Adventures TP — I wasn't planning on getting this, since I have the original series, but it has six unpublished stories. Now I may have to get it.
  Rasputin: The Voice of the Dragon #1 — Mignolaverse.
  Hawkman: Found #1 — I have no real interest in DC’s Metal event, but Hawkman + Jeff Lemire + Kevin Nowlan might be too much to resist.
  Batman Annual #2 — Tom King and Lee Weeks in a standalone story. Hmmm...
  Batman: Creature of the Night #1 (of 4) — Kurt Busiek and John Paul Leon. I'll definitely take a look at it on the shelf.
  Mystik U #1 — I'm very dubious about this one, but since Mike’s drawing it, the least I can do is pick up the first issue and try it out.
  Lights of the Amalou TP — Heard great things about it. And Claire Wendling is fantastic.
  The Gravediggers Union #1 — Big fan of Toby Cypress, so I'll give it a shot.
  Captain America #695 — Waid. Samnee. I'm there.

  I'll post the rest once I pare it down a bit, but there's one thing I'll be getting for sure. Shameless plug alert. As first announced on CGS way back in 2008, I believe...
  
  
  
  ATHENA VOLTAIRE PULP TALES VOLUME 1
  Editor(s): Chris Murrin, Steve Bryant
  Artist Name(s): Steve Bryant
  Cover Artist(s): Steve Bryant, Jason Millet
  320 pgs./ T / BW
  $14.99
  
  1930s adventuress Athena Voltaire is admittedly inspired by Doc Savage, the Shadow, and other giants of the pulp era, and now she’s starring in her own collection of pulp-style stories. This November, Action Lab Entertainment unleashes Athena Voltaire Pulp Tales—a collection of two-fisted stories that send the aviatrix across the globe and back again!
  
  Contributors to this volume include Tom King (Batman, Vision), Corinna Bechko & Gabriel Hardman (Invisible Republic), Genevieve Pearson (TBS’ King of the Nerds), Dirk Manning (Nightmare World), and over a dozen more. They take Athena Voltaire around the globe, battling supernatural creatures, power-hungry occultists, and, of course, Nazis. Along the way she rubs elbows with the most famous figures of the 1930s and becomes part of some of the most pivotal moments in history.
  
  “It’s amazing to see the different takes on the character,” said creator Steve Bryant. ”It’s a real pleasure—and challenge—to tackle what each author has come up with.”
  
  In addition to penning one of the stories, Bryant illustrates the entire volume, providing seventeen stunning black and white images, as well as collaborating on the cover with digital painter Jason Millet.
  
  Athena Voltaire Pulp Tales is a 320-page illustrated prose collection, joining the 96-page trade paperback Athena Voltaire and the Volcano Goddess and the 224-page hardcover Athena Voltaire Compendium in the Action Lab library. This will be followed by the ongoing Athena Voltaire comic series, which kicks off in early 2018 with Athena Voltaire and the Sorcerer Pope. With its period setting, rapid-fire action, and strong female lead, the series is sure to appeal to fans of Indiana Jones, the Rocketeer, and Wonder Woman.
  
  ATHENA VOLTAIRE PULP TALES will be available on November 29. Preorder it with the Diamond item code SEP171036.
