AARON AND AHMED HC
Written by JAY CANTOR
Art and cover by JAMES ROMBERGER
“What causes terrorism?”
After his fiancée dies on 9/11, the question plagues Aaron Goodman. It makes him give up his career as a doctor to become an interrogator at Guantanamo Bay. It leads him to meme theory, as he wonders if there could be a cold science behind the conversion of people into suicide bombers. And ultimately, it brings him to Ahmed, a Gitmo prisoner who promises the answers to all of Aaron¹s questions, and in the process, he’ll take Aaron from Guantanamo Bay to the jihadist camps in Pakistan, back to Ground Zero in New York City.
But where do Ahmed’s real loyalties lie? From where did that loyalty spring? To answer that, Aaron will have to reexamine everything he believes, and stare down one of the most compelling questions of the 21st century.
MacArthur Prize fellow and novelist Jay Cantor (Krazy Kat, Great Neck) has won fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and from the Ingram Merrill, Rockefeller and Guggenheim Foundations, as well as accolades from every major print publication. Now, along with James Romberger (THE BRONX KILL), the acclaimed artist whom comics legend Jim Steranko has described as “fearlessly ambitious,” the two focus their considerable talent, insight and vision in one unforgettable and pressingly relevant graphic novel.

Literary writer Martin Keane has a police officer father he can barely stand — and his latest book has received scathing reviews. Then, just as Keane is starting on a new book he hopes will help him work through his family issues, Martin’s wife suddenly disappears without a trace. And as people start to suspect that Martin might be responsible, he senses there’s more going on than meets the eye. He’s sure there are clues to her abduction that he’s overlooking, ones that can perhaps be found in the novel he’s obsessively writing. As Keane and his father investigate the disappearance, he’ll find the truth is much more shocking than he thought in a twist no one could ever see coming.

FABLES #102
Written by BILL WILLINGHAM

Cover by JOAO RUAS
This issue begins a 5-part story called “Super Group!” Now why, oh why, in this crazy mixed-up world would we saddle an important funny-book series that has, in 100 issues so far, never had anything to do with Super Heroes with a title like that? And why has snotty little Pinocchio suddenly got it into his head that he needs to design tight-fitting costumes for a carefully selected small team of Fables? In fact, why was the little brat caught looking over his own comic book collection, mumbling things like, “We can call him Werewolf Man, and he can be the Golden Knight, and she can be called The Green Witch?”
To quote master Fables illustrator Mark Buckingham: “What the bloody [censored] is going on here?”
