GUNNERKRIGG COURT: ORIENTATION (Creator: Tom Siddell, ISBN: 1-932386-34-3, Diamond Order Code: FEB083463, $26.95, 296-page hardcover, all ages). Antimony Carver is a precocious and preternaturally self-possessed girl starting her first year at gloomy Gunnerkrigg Court, a very British boarding school that has robots running around alongside body-snatching demons, forest gods, and the odd mythical creature. The opening volume in the series follows Antimony through her orientation year: the people she meets, the strange things that happen, and the things she causes to happen as she and her new friend, Kat, unravel the mysteries of the Court and deal with the everyday adventures of growing up.
THE DEVIL’S PANTIES, VOLUME 2 (Creator: Jennie Breeden, ISBN: 1-932386-36-X, Diamond Order Code: FEB083471, $19.95, 296-page hardcover, black-and-white, Mature Readers). The Devil’s Panties is NOT in fact, satanic porn. It is actually an autobiographical online comic strip about a girl in flame boots who works at a comic shop and occasionally hangs out with a pirate. Follow Jen as she goes kilt hunting at conventions with her leaf blower and discovers sparkly butterfly toys that no child should play with. When her boyfriend has LAN parties in their garage, she hits the clubs.
