Some days you are your worst enemy Dead Reflection (Book Two of the Replicant Trilogy) Book Two: Dead Reflection Tank catches a wave with a Replicant to another version of Earth. It's sort of like his own planet, but with a few critical differences. The Navigator tech created by Dunk is being used to kill civilians, meaning the Navigators are a lethal enemy of the people. Once again, Tank fights his way across his homeland, but this time he's headed to Washington, DC. He has a bone to pick with the President. ***************************** (Available Now) Ghost Born (Book One of the Replicant series) The tech was genius, with armor, hydraulics and advanced vision. Tank could have saved a lot of lives with it in the suck. Instead he had left the army to take care of his late wife and joined a mad research team called CaliTech hiding deep in Sequoia National Park. He was testing the gear with his squad, Lexie and Ark, when everything went badly wrong. Replicants intent on murdering their twins dropped from the sky like a reverse Rapture. If that wasn't bad enough, more people randomly turned into homicidal maniacs, making it impossible to pick the good guys from the bad. A once ordered world collapsed in to chaos almost overnight, catching Tank and Lexie well outside the wire. They were making their way through the death zone from Albuquerque to CaliTech, but the boss has other ideas. Dunk might be mad as they make 'em, but at the end of days and crazy is all they've got. (Available Now) Lost Origin (Book Three: of the Replicant series) The only way is forward and Tank heads out to find himself caught in Hecate's web. His namesake, First Tank, is on the hunt for his son, while Isaiah is determined to become the ruling triumvirate on Hecate's Earth. Our three Tanks are on a collision course that will change the direction of the Universe. There is never a dull moment, or a sane enemy, in Tanner's collection.

2020 Eisner Award for Best Academic/Scholarly Work Entertaining Comics Group (EC Comics) is perhaps best-known today for lurid horror comics like Tales from the Crypt and for a publication that long outlived the company’s other titles, Mad magazine. But during its heyday in the early 1950s, EC was also an early innovator in another genre of comics: the so-called “preachies,” socially conscious stories that boldly challenged the conservatism and conformity of Eisenhower-era America. EC Comics examines a selection of these works—sensationally-titled comics such as “Hate!,” “The Guilty!,” and “Judgment Day!”—and explores how they grappled with the civil rights struggle, antisemitism, and other forms of prejudice in America. Putting these socially aware stories into conversation with EC’s better-known horror stories, Qiana Whitted discovers surprising similarities between their narrative, aesthetic, and marketing strategies. She also recounts the controversy that these stories inspired and the central role they played in congressional hearings about offensive content in comics. The first serious critical study of EC’s social issues comics, this book will give readers a greater appreciation of their legacy. They not only served to inspire future comics creators, but also introduced a generation of young readers to provocative ideas and progressive ideals that pointed the way to a better America.

It was time for Doctor Grunge to unveil his years of research to the public domain. He was never aware of the full implications of his experiments.
