The Book of the Geomancer has recorded it all. But only a young girl – the last in a line of the enigmatic mystics who protect the Earth known as Geomancers – has seen this future come to pass, from the coming cataclysm to the dawn of the 41st century. Alone with her sworn protector, the Eternal Warrior – a soldier battle-forged across five thousand years of combat – the duo must defy their allies to stop the Dark Age that now threatens to eclipse our world. Together, they are the number one target of every hero and villain on Earth. Either the Eternal Warrior hands her over…or they take him down. But can even he single-handedly protect one child when the entire Valiant Universe wages war against him?

Skyhorse Publishing Supreme Villainy: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the
Book SynopsisFor eons, King Oblivion, Ph.D., was one of the most ruthless supervillains the world has ever known. As the CEO of the ISS (International Society of Supervillains) for half a century, he was personally responsible for numerous nefarious acts, including Nixon’s presidential election, stealing the country of Japan, Star Wars: Episode IIII, and Milli Vanilli, just to name a few.Since his untimely (and inexplicable) passing, Matt D. Wilson, who was found rotting in one of Oblivion’s numerous dungeons, has discovered in his giant lair (located in the Earth’s mantle) what seems to be the early workings of the villain’s ultimate manifesto. Though in-depth research (and paper cuts), Wilson reviewed endless documents and has compiled numerous unedited chapters, email correspondences, and various threats which combine tell the life story” of this anti-hero.Supreme Villainy is an intimate look into the mastermind who once ruled the globe with an iron fist (and ray gun). For the first time ever, readers will learn of his birth (which has never been noted on record), rise to power, and domination of the world as we know it today. Revealed inside are never-before-seen notes, interviews, and personal letters which, now collected, show a glimpse into the once-infamous villain’s uncompleted manuscript, and maybe a hint into who the real man was behind that horrible mask.Trade Review“Supreme Villainy is the best supervillain memoir since The Art of the Deal.” —Mike Lawrence, comedian and writer “While we have all lived for decades in fear of King Oblivion’s sinister machinations, Wilson’s thorough biography is a witty, irreverent, and genuinely hilarious take on the mind of history’s greatest monster.” —Chris Sims, writer of X-Men ’92 and Deadpool: Bad Blood “They say that history is written by the winners, and that’s certainly the case for the supervillain known as ‘King Oblivion Ph.D,’ whose reign over the world lasted for decades and saw him responsible for some of the most heinous acts in history. Truly, his history is terrifying and dastardly one.” —Steve Morris, CBR.com “Oblivion and Wilson’s genre-defying meta-memoir had me cowering with laughter. Buy it, as your King commands.” —Daniel Kibblesmith, writer, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert "Legendary supervillain King Oblivion, Ph.D., recounts his century-long life of evil and mayhem. Wilson pieces together the contradictions, lies, and self-aggrandizing braggadocio to paint a picture of a villain who never fails except on purpose, and whose setbacks are all according to plan. . . . [King Oblivion is] an unreliable, unsympathetic narrator who will undoubtedly incinerate this reviewer in due time." —Publishers Weekly “Thanks to this exhaustively researched book, I finally know the ‘inside scoop’ on King Oblivion, the man who burned down my village and disintegrated my family!” —Geoffrey Golden & Amanda Meadows, The Devastator “On one level, it’s a funny, clever satire of the pop culture villains of a classic mold, done with a surprisingly light touch given the number of people consumed by sharks. On another level, it’s pretty much a guidebook for our modern cultural scene, and doubtless will be taken as non-fiction once our real-life megalomaniacs catch up to King Oblivion. Get the well-earned laughs out of Supreme Villainy now, because it will soon be taught in schools.” —Ross Johnson, B&N.com Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog“Supreme Villainy is the best supervillain memoir since The Art of the Deal.”Mike Lawrence, comedian and writer “While we have all lived for decades in fear of King Oblivion’s sinister machinations, Wilson’s thorough biography is a witty, irreverent, and genuinely hilarious take on the mind of history’s greatest monster.” Chris Sims, writer of X-Men ’92 and Deadpool: Bad Blood“They say that history is written by the winners, and that’s certainly the case for the supervillain known as ‘King Oblivion Ph.D,’ whose reign over the world lasted for decades and saw him responsible for some of the most heinous acts in history.

Taschen GmbH Marvel Comics Library. Spider-Man. Vol. 2.
Book SynopsisTheir collaboration on Spider-Man couldn’t last forever—but the five-years of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s remarkable partnership lasted long enough for their character to evolve into a timeless icon and create a fandom that would last generations. TASCHEN’s second volume of Amazing Spider-Man stories collects the latter half of the duo’s magnum opus, featuring brand new arch-villains the Scorpion, Molten Man, and the Crime-Master, return engagements with Kraven the Hunter and the Green Goblin—and the three-part “Master Planner Saga” that reignited a feud with an iconic mystery villain, and left behind what many comics critics declare to be the greatest super hero story of all time. Beyond the action that faced Spider-Man—all choreographed with aplomb by the master stylist Ditko—there was also the matter of Peter Parker’s maturation during a decade of social upheaval and change. With Stan Lee’s blend of soap opera melodramatics and finger-on-the-pulse social sensitivities, Peter graduated from high school to college and started to deal with a myriad of adult struggles, mirroring the life experiences of the book’s readership. A scrawny teenager no more, Lee and Ditko would widen his network of friends and frenemies, debuting Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborn, and, in a series of hilarious cameos, Mary Jane Watson—all characters that would develop into one of the deepest and most substantive supporting casts in all of comics. Also introduced is Harry’s father, Norman Osborn, the short-tempered industrialist who would later be revealed as Spider-Man’s most dreaded foe. Meanwhile, Peter’s up-and-down romance with Betty Brant would reach its culmination with both changed forever. Collected in an XXL-size volume that closely simulates the size and proportions of the original comic artboards, all individual issues have been sourced from the collection of Bob Bretall, holder of the Guinness World Record for largest comics collection. Bretall’s pedigreed collection has been photographed using TASCHEN’s sterling reproduction methods, resembling the way these comics first looked when initially published in 1965 and 1966, while also being digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era’s inexpensive, imperfect printing. A custom paper stock was exclusively developed for this series to simulate the newsprint feel and color holding of the original comics. The Marvel Comics Library has earned well-deserved raves from comic collecting diehards for combining an old school comic book reading experience with a luxurious oversized book format, winning the industry’s coveted Eisner Award for Best Publication Design. Complementing the comics is an incisive and often side-splitting essay by British TV and radio host Jonathan Ross. Accompanying his essay is a gallery of original art, photographs, rarities, and other ephemera of the era. © 2023 MARVELTrade Review“A chance for readers to own some of the most influential comics of all times in modern editions.” * Comics Beat *“TASCHEN’s Marvel Comics Library represents a sincere respect and appreciation for comics history.” * Comic Book Resources *
