From the Solicits:
MINISERIES PREMIERE The backyard battlefield heats up and it’s even more brutal and bloodier than before. Superstar creators JASON AARON & MAHMUD ASRAR return to the savage suburban epic that feeds Honey, I Shrunk the Kids through a war grinder and marinates it in Conan-flavored myth and mayhem. Six months after the Yard ran red with insect blood, uneasy peace is shattered as ancient enemies rise from the Woods, corporate extermination forces close in, and Slade Slaymaker is dragged back into a brutal world where roach knights ride, squirrel armies gather, and survival means choosing your side in a war no human was meant to fight. Welcome back to BUG WARS: THE COMING OF THE WARDOOM.

NIKOLA TESLA TP
MAD CAVE STUDIOS $19.99
(W) Sergio Rossi (A/CA) Giovanni Scarduelli
From the Solicits:
Another unique book in Mad Cave's series of English print releases from Italian publisher Becco Giallo and Comixology Originals. Nikola Tesla follows two friends and collaborators making a film about the famous inventor's life—and debating, between themselves, the very merits of that reputation. Sardonic and honest, this graphic novel is a refreshing reflection on the extraordinary changes to modern culture since Tesla's era, as well as a fascinating insight into the turbulent life of the "mad genius." Who was Nikola Tesla? A brilliant inventor or a visionary uncoupled from his time? In this fictionalized exploration of his life, two filmmakers set out to settle the debate. Growing up in poverty in the mid-19th century under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Tesla studied and became an engineer on his own strength. He emigrated to America, where he was employed in the laboratory of the famous Thomas Edison, the inventor of the phonograph and the light bulb. But corruption and competition among Tesla's colleagues—chief among them Edison himself—led to the "War of Currents," a heated race for control of the world electricity market. Tesla came out on top of that race, but a strange and tragic confluence of events and prejudices led to his public downfall. With more than two hundred different patents and inventions over his lifetime, including the remote control and fluorescent lighting, Tesla is remembered today as one of the most important innovators in modern history. Sergio Rossi and Giovanni Scarduelli's funny, heartfelt retelling speaks not only to the inventor's legacy, but to our relationship with technology and the very concept of "genius."
UNDERCOVER MONSTER TP
PAPERCUTZ $19.99
(W) Mina Elwell, Alan C Medina (A/CA) Kit Wallis
From the Solicits:
Mia’s been kicked out of every monster school—and now she’s stuck undercover in human school! To get back in the monster world, she has to uncover which creature is hunting her classmates… but the halls are crawling with more suspects than she ever imagined. Mia has been kicked out of monster schools at every level, from Madame Cryptorius’s School for the Brilliant and Bewitched to Bugwump Swamp Middle, and now she’s about to face her toughest challenge yet: Human school. Her goal: Find the monster who has infiltrated this school and started picking the human kids off as prey, and she might just get let back into a monster school. All she has to do is narrow down her list of suspects. How many monsters can there be hiding in a school? (A lot, it turns out.)
