STAR WARS DOCTOR APHRA #1

NEW CREW, NEW MISSION!

With the Rebel Alliance back on the run after their defeat at the Battle of Hoth, it's never been a more dangerous time for outlaws, scoundrels and the errant rogue archaeologist to make their way in the galaxy.

But after a string of bad luck and near escapes, DOCTOR APHRA is back on the job!

She's been keeping a low profile - jobs are scarce and credits scarcer. So the promise of the score of a lifetime is a chance too good for her to pass up. And to find the cursed RINGS OF VAALE, Aphra will need a crew of treasure hunters the likes of which the galaxy has never seen before!

But RONEN TAGGE, heir to the powerful Tagge family, also has his eyes on the prize.

Do Aphra and her team stand a chance at fortune and glory?

When an eight-year-old girl begins to transform into a tree, her single Mom, troubled brother, and possibly insane grandfather embark on a bizarre and heart-wrenching odyssey across the back roads of America, desperately searching for a way to cure her horrifying transformation before it's too late. 

Bestselling, award-winning writer JEFF LEMIRE (ROYAL CITY, DESCENDER, Sweet Tooth) and superstar artist PHIL HESTER (Shipwreck, Green Arrow) come together for FAMILY TREE, a genre-defying epic about the lengths a mother will go to keep her children safe in a world of unspeakable horrors.

MY VIDEO GAME ATE MY HOMEWORK TP

Meet Dewey Jenkins, a 13-year old schoolkid who's about to fail science class.

Follow him on an amazing adventure that leads Dewey and his friends to a virtual world where they will have to overcome all sorts of digital creatures and solve a number of puzzles in order to get home.

My Video Game Ate My Homework is a funny, fast-paced adventure that shows the importance of cooperation and teamwork, as well as the importance of using your own unique abilities to solve problems.

It's illustrated in Dustin Hansen's colorful, cartoony style, and filled with lots of sight gags and nods to video-gaming tropes. 

Dustin Hansen spent years directing and creating video games before becoming a writer and illustrator, and makes his DC debut with My Video Game Ate My Homework!
