Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes in the making of a comic book series? THE MAKING OF ASTRONAUTS IN TROUBLE gives you a glimpse of the comic book production process by collecting the scripts for the critically-acclaimed five-issue miniseries, pre-production sketches, proposal notes, and even the mini-comics that started the whole thing! Beginning with the simple "what if a news crew was on the scene of man's return to the moon?" and through to the selection of Matt (HELLBOY) Smith and Charlie (THE X-FILES, X-MEN: HELLFIRE CLUB) Adlard as series artists, this 128-page collection provides an in-depth look into the year's most compelling science-fiction miniseries.

Fifty years after Armstrong's one small step, the world's richest man claims the moon as his own personal property... and Channel Seven is there! This graphic novel shows what happens when absolute power corrupts absolutely, when The Mob has nuclear first-strike capability, and when cows jump over the moon. Witty banter, one-sixth gravity derring-do, and an explosive finale from a tale that Sci-Fi Universe says has "a wide-eyed sense of wonder and a clear appreciation for adventure-based science fiction."  This book is like "Die Hard" meets 'Broadcast News" on the moon and was nominated for the American Library Association 2002 Popular Paperbacks. It has an introduction by Warren Ellis and a follow-up story by Larry Young and TRANSMETROPOLITAN artist Darick Robertson.

Jessica Drake (if in fact that is her real name) is the paranormal investigator who puts a good face on things. Literally. Blessed (or cursed) with the ability to change her features, Drake is the latest in a line of Nobodies: individuals who give up a life of their own to safeguard society. With her trusted confidante Marcus, this time out Jessica confronts a band of fringe cultists and uncovers a serial killer with ties to the ultimate evil...

Special interest groups have bullied the government into passing the Clean Act, effectively killing freedom of speech and silencing the country into submission. TV and God become one and the same as America wages its own holy war against its citizens. Meet Jennie 2.5, media slut turned info-terrorist, out to save the country from itself, and restore free will and self expression. Hailed internationally as ground-breaking work in the field of sequential art, Channel Zero challenges and tests the limits, combining current events and no-future shock into a dark, paranoid, deep-ambient visual narrative.

Brennan, Michael

Electric Girl Volume 2 is a fun-filled collection of stories of the decidedly all-ages comic book, Electric Girl. If having electrical powers doesn't complicate a young girl's life as it is, add an invisible trouble-making gremlin into the mix and then things will get very interesting. Electric Girl stars Virginia (the young girl who happens to have the electrical powers), her dog Blammo, and her invisible friend, the gremlin Oogleeoog, and chronicles their various misadventures through life. This volume collects the stories from issues 5 through 8 of the Electric Girl comic book by Eisner-nominated cartoonist Mike Brennan.

They want me to entertain you bastards," Warren Ellis began his series of columns for the comic book Internet destination website Comic Book Resources. Part social commentary, part sitting at-the-feet-of-Socrates, part kick in the ass, COME IN ALONE was the column that would zig when you thought it would zag. This collection of all fifty-two columns includes Ellis' unique take on the comic book industry, features first-class interviews with top-flight comic book professionals, and even includes the legendary Old Bastard's Manifesto. Wrap this all up in an evocative and spooky cover by Brian Wood, and you've got a collection of commentary that midwifed the birth of the comic book industry into the 21st century.
