Animal Man: Origin of the Species
with Chas Truog, Doug Hazlewood, Tom Grummett, Steve Montano and Mark McKenna
Struggle. Adapt. Evolve.
Buddy Baker is a super-hero - The Man With Animal Powers. But what is the role of an Animal Man in the world today? Who is it that needs protection: Man, or the animals? In this long-awaited second collection of the groundbreaking series Animal Man, those questions become more and more troubling - and the answers less and less clear. And while Buddy casts around for a path to follow, a much greater crisis of identity is shadowing him - a crisis that threatens to undo not just Buddy’s life, but all of the foundations of his reality.
Beginning with his celebrated reimagining of Animal Man, writer Grant Morrison has made a spectacularly successful career of stretching the boundaries of the traditional comic book narrative beyond all reason. Along with equally acclaimed runs on Doom Patrol, JLA, and New X-Men, he has also masterminded the graphic novels Batman: Arkham Asylum, The Mystery Play, Kill Your Boyfriend, and JLA: Earth 2. Morrison’s essence can be found in its purest form in his multivolume spectacle The Invisibles and his newest creation, The Filth.

The Invisibles: Missing Mr Quimper
with Chris Weston
The gurus of counter-culture & agents of anarchy are back!
It's all lies.
And it's all true. No one knows this better than the Invisibles - time-tossed freedom fighters in the secret worldwide struggle between the forces of liberation and anarchy on one hand, and authoritarianism and order on the other. Whose side are you on?
This volume opens with the Invisibles enjoying some long-overdue rest time in New Orleans. But their leader, Ragged Robin, holds many dangerous secrets in her mind-and her lover, the superbly trained assassin King Mob, knows only some of them. Together they must lead their team through time distortions, secret government installations, and their own twisted pasts. Only then will they learn the truth about the mind-controlling dwarf called Quimper and come one step closer to the ultimate secrets of the millennium.
The Invisibles: Kissing Mister Quimper offers the most tantalizing peek yet into the secret conspiracies that rule our world. Award-winning creator/writer Grant Morrison ("comic book savant"- Entertainment Weekly) has created a modern epic in comics form, a fast-moving, mind-expanding metanovel in the best tradition of Philip K. Dick and Robert Anton Wilson. ‘A timeless battle between the forces of psychic liberation and their dark counterparts, sleazy insectoid agents of control and repression… Basically, it’s about everything’ Spin
'The Invisibles... is that rare thing, a smart, spooky, exciting comic. Grant Morrison is a master of smart comics.' Time Out
‘Reminds a new generation of readers that you should never underestimate the profundity of a trash medium.’ Spin

JLA: Justice For All
with Mark Millar and Howard Porter
Can the "good guys" do what hundreds of supervillains couldn't, and smash the JLA?
Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman , The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter… each a mighty comic book hero in their own right, possessed of power beyond mortal imagination. But together, united under a common banner, they are the ultimate, world-shaking, gob-smacking dream team - The Justice League of America!
Meet the Ultramarines; the US military's response to the growing threat posed by… the JLA?! America's elite force of superpowered marines have been created not just to be the JLA's equal, but - in extreme circumstances to be their betters, and, ultimately, executioners.
Cue extreme circumstances…
(Issues 24-33)
Grant Morrison is one of comics' most innovative writers and together with fellow Scotsman Mark Millar has co-written a number of titles. Howard Porter is the artist on JLX and the DC crossover series Underworld Unleashed.
