From Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, the acclaimed writers of JOY RIDE and GOTHAM CITY GARAGE, with art by award-winning artist Nathan Gooden, ZOJAQAN is a fantasy adventure like nothing you've ready before. PUBLISHER'S SYNOPSIS: A grieving mother wakes in a brutal but fantastic landscape, where the currents of time pull her into the future, lurching forward days, years, and millennia. Her name is Shannon Kind, and her life in our world has vanished without warning. Perhaps she can find peace in her new home. Perhaps she can shape Zojaqan into a better world. But first, she must survive. PRAISE FOR ZOJAQAN: “Impeccably written and gorgeously illustrated. The kind of lavish, rich fantasy story I thought wasn’t being made in comics form anymore. It’s beautiful, it’s funny, it’s fierce, it’s heartbreaking. This is why I read comics, this book right here.” – Gail Simone (Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman, Deadpool, Batgirl, Red Sonja, Crosswinds) “Gorgeous, exotic, whimsical, and dripping with the sort of elegiac sadness that makes every triumph exult and every setback howl. ZOJAQAN feels like the wonderchild of a Vonnegut hi-concept and a Burroughs adventure—with an alien violin dirge on the soundtrack. Transportational, in every conceivable way.” – Si Spurrier (X-Force, Silver Surfer, Judge Dredd, Angelic, God Shaper) “ZOJAQAN #1 is an impressive first issue, emotionally arresting.” 10/10 – C.K. Stewart, Newsamara “Unmistakably Black. Feminine. Strong. Older. Tired, but not beaten. Shannon’s a real person in an utterly unreal situation.” 10/10 – L.E.H. Light, Black Nerd Problems

The critically acclaimed, sell-out hit HEATHEN, from writer-illustrator, Natasha Alterici, continues in Volume 2. Aydis the banished viking sets sail on the open sea to reach Heimdall, the magical entrance to the land of the gods. She’ll need the help of a crew of worldly pirate women and man-eating mermaids to survive the dangerous journey. Back on land, the cursed Valkyrie Brynhild and the goddess of love Freyja are chipping away at Odin’s power, testing the god-king’s patience and tempting his wrath. Collects issues 5 through 8. REVIEWS: IGN -- "Heathen returns from its break and it remains one of the best comics on the stands... I just want to spend more time in this world, and really, isn't that the reaction you should have to art?" ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY -- Alterici's innovative saga - about a queer Viking woman who is exiled for her sexuality and reacts by declaring war on Odin himself - initially came out in digital form only. Now, interested readers can catch up on the story's beginning in one place with its first trade collection. THE A/V CLUB -- The series operates on two levels: It's a sweeping Nordic fantasy, but it's also a personal story about coming out and coming of age in a culture that doesn't accept who you truly are. The intersection of those two narrative planes is what makes Heathen so engrossing, and the grander elements of the plot have more emotional impact because they are tied to Aydis' queer awakening. COMIC BASTARDS -- Hot take alert: Natasha Alterici is the real deal. BITCHMEDIA -- Alterici is that rarest of comic writers whose sense of story and pacing is equal to her tremendous artistic skill.
