Summary

When a hacker shifts a social media apps' control to any creator of its top-ranked video, rampant violence and privacy invasion ensues - as people everywhere chase the money, fame and power of being number one.   Contraband follows a self-styled citizen journalist forced to hunt down an activist sabotaging a ruthless entrepreneur’s dark web social media app.  His search leads him into a voyeur underground where profit-hungry youths prowl city streets secretly inciting, staging and filming violent events to satisfy society’s demand for sensational content…

    After losing his leg—and his trademark helmet—B.D. returns home from Iraq to begin a remarkable journey of healing in this Doonesbury book. 
     
    On a road outside Fallujah, an RPG blows apart a Humvee and upends the life of a former football star named B.D. As a medevac chopper swoops down, the wounded Guardsman hears “Not your time, bro. Not today”. The Long Road Home: One Step at a Time chronicles seven months of cutting-edge cartooning, during which B.D.—and readers of the strip—experienced the kind of personal transformation no one seeks. 
     
    B.D. survives first-response Baghdad triage, evacuation to Landstuhl, and visits by innumerable celebs, both red and blue in hue. He's awed in turn by morphine, take-no-guff nurses, his fellow amps, high-tech prostheses that cost more than luxury cars, and his family, including the daughter who hand-delivers succor, one aspirin at a time. 
     
    From rebuilding tissue to rebuilding social skills to rebuilding lives, B.D's inspiring, insightful, and darkly humorous story confirms that it can take a village, or at least a ward, to raise a soldier when he's gone down. “Thank you for getting blown up,” offers one of B.D.'s visiting players. Replies the coach, “Just doing my job.”

    From the vast frozen wilderness of Alaska, Chad Carpenter brings Tundra. The National Cartoonists Society named Tundra as the Best Newspaper Panel Cartoon of the Year in 2007. These are award-winning cartoons from a naturally wonderful place.A tour guide might overlook some of the more quirky aspects of Alaska, but Carpenter sees it in a completely different light (even if that light only shows itself part of the year). Carpenter gives nature's residents, the furry and the not-so-furry, full attention. He also gives them voices that can bring a tear of laughter to the eye. Tundra is full of talking snowmen, inept hunters, obsessed fishermen, and inviting wildlife looking for their next meal. It's also packed with an abundance of hilarity.Tundra: Nature's Favorite Comic Strip features a "best of" collection with 560 cartoons from over 16 years of syndication.

    The text of The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains was first published in the collection anthology Stories: All New Tales edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio. This gorgeous full-color illustrated book version was born of a unique collaboration between writer Neil Gaiman and artist Eddie Campbell, who brought to vivid life the characters and landscape of Gaiman's story. In August 2010, The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains was performed in the concert hall of the Sydney Opera House to a sold-out crowd—Gaiman read his tale live as Campbell's magnificent artwork was presented, scene-by-scene, on large screens. Narrative and art were accompanied by live music composed and performed especially for the story by the FourPlay String Quartet.

    In the last few years to the end of the last star in the universe, galaxies have been destroyed by black holes, which prevail and make the universe a cold and dark place. Humanity explores space in search of a new home before the collapse of the Milky Way until a group of settlers manages to colonize another planet outside the solar system. 
    Technologies to perpetuate memories in robots are developed during the long journey and the human being manages to achieve the dream of immortality! Automata are created to receive the minds of humans in their bodies. But the apparent peace between the colonists ends when disagreements arise from who can be perpetuated and what ideas must be preserved. Issues of identity, loneliness and the difficulty of dealing with changes in body and mind are discussed. 
    Years go by before a theory about parallel universes is put to the test on a mission to study a black hole. A group of robots explores the universe and is about to cross the space/time barrier, in a portal to other worlds. They witness admirable phenomena, only speculated by Science. At the edge, they discover that the transition to other multiverses requires more than technology. Time and space travel reveals more about their alter egos than events that occur in other dimensions. Trapped in space and time, travelers fail to draw on the forces of nature and the past that hold them back. How to break free from the past? What to do not to experience death and be swallowed by the emptiness of existence?
