So Here We all Are... Straddling the unholy prow. Splitting the water between life and death, faith and doubt, hope and damnation. Punch: The Second Coming collects all 4 issues of the Punch miniseries. A heartbroken priest defies his faith and commits an unforgivable sin. He finds God and the Devil casting lots in a seedy bar for his eternal soul. There's a bar fight between God's infernal Virtues, the Hounds of Heaven, and the Devil's seven deadly sins; survivors of the homicidal pogroms perpetrated by the One God against the many. But nothing is as it seems; the Drifter plans a jailbreak, and the Morning Star, cunning to the last, may have manipulated events from the start. The Drifter begins to understand his position as a lever, capable of destabilizing the balance of power and rescuing the one soul he sought to avenge at the very start.

Aspiring artist Kacie spends most of her time on Mercer Street with her best friend, Nisha, people-watching and doodling whatever is happening in their neighborhood. But when she comes back from a summer away, the local corner store is boarded up, the adults in town are all on edge, and Nisha is nowhere to be found! Everything is changing, and Kacie's not sure what to do about it. Especially without Nisha to help her. But Kacie has a knack for noticing things, and with her sketchbooks and observational skills, she just might have what it takes to figure out what's really happening on Mercer Street. Filled with both cartoons and graphic comic panels, Booki Vivat draws a hilarious-yet-deeply-perceptive portrait of a changing neighborhood, a mysterious disappearance, and the girl who's determined to understand how she fits in to the picture.

This historically grounded manga follows the ninja Nagata Saburo as he teaches his son, Hisaaki, the weapons, secret tactics, and values of the ninja. All of the tactics Saburo teaches to his son are drawn from the Shinobi Hiden, the most famous of the 'ninja scrolls' written by Hattori Hanzo, general to the warlord Tokugawa Ieyasu and one of the most famous warriors in Japan. These scrolls provided practical instruction for professional ninja, but they also provide insightful theories of social relationships and human interaction, studying the nature of deception, falsehood, and self-protection. As Hisaaki grows from boy to man, Wilson skillfully interweaves real lessons, weapons, and skills used by ninja in feudal Japan, depicted with detail by artist Akiko Shimojima.
