POLARIS

If you mention the word 'super-hero' these days, everyone and their mum can tell you a potted history of it all, because they've sat through numerous phases, extended TV series, and animated side-specials of expansive character-development, culminating in extraordinary final chapters, with the screen literally stacked full of characters battling one another while your eyes bleed with excitement and spectacle. But before 1997, people would generally only think of a few things: Christopher Reeve, Michael Keaton, Nicholas Hammond's Spider-Man, Bill Bixby trying not to get angry, Dolph Lundgren mumbling in broken English, and how Michael Crawford dressed like a bird was the closest thing Disney had to a cinematic universe. By 1997 there could be no doubt that the genre was dead. Out was the sheen of verisimilitude, and in were Bat-credit-cards, ugly CGI, slashed budgets, rubber nipples and Martin Sheen in a girdle. So, whatever happened to the heroes? Join John Rain as he walks through every film of note from 1978 to 1997, and examines just what went wrong, and how.

ALADDIN BOOKS

Twelve-year-old Sophie Foster has never quite fit into her life. She's skipped multiple grades and doesn't really connect with the older kids at school, but she's not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie's a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret-at least, that's what she thinks… But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she's not alone. He's a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well…she isn't. Fitz opens Sophie's eyes to a shocking truth, and she is forced to leave behind her family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known. This stunning graphic novel retelling of the first half of the thrilling first novel comes to life with all the adventure and epic worldbuilding the Keeper of the Lost Cities series is known for.

HARPER DESIGN

A behind-the-scenes reveal of Steven Spielberg's upcoming 2011 motion capture 3-D film based on the universally beloved comic book series The Adventures of Tintin that will answer the inevitable question: how on earth did they do THAT? With forewards by both Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, this book is the ultimate authority on the film event of the year. Created by the Belgian artist Herg?, Tintin is a beloved comic strip character, a teenage reporter who travels the world with his dog Snowy doing good deeds and foiling bad guys. The character made his debut in 1929 in a Belgian newspaper and has been chronicled in dozens of illustrated books, translated into many languages, and has sold more than 200 million copies worldwide. Now Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are teaming up to launch The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn in late 2011 (releases in most global markets October, 2011; releases in US December 23, 2011). This first of two movies brings to life the enormously popular books by Herg? in performance-captured 3-D form. The conceptual design and visual effects for the movie are being created by Weta Workshop, the multi-Academy Award winning company who helped create global blockbusters such as Avatar, The Lord of the Rings, District 9, King Kong, The Chronicles of Narnia and many others. The very same Weta artists who are working on the movie will be launching THE ART OF TINTIN book in both paper and digital format in late 2011. So readers will get the inside story telling how the movie progresses from the original works of Herg?, through the movie design process, to the final look on the big screen. Weta Workshop's artists have created the special make-up effects, physical characteristics, stunning landscapes, and most importantly, Tintin's dog Snowy. The film is to be shot with an atmospheric, film-noire aesthetic with sweeping European cityscapes and vistas, a veritable feast for the eyes. This book illuminates the creative design process, detailing interactions between Weta's artists, Peter Jackson, and Steven Spielberg. It will include hundreds of images from concept art and storyboards to photographs of the props and sculptures, as well as insightful remarks from the artists themselves. Many of the images included in this book have never been seen before, including work that was eventually cut or barely glimpsed in the finished film. THE ART OF TINTIN offers an unrivalled look into the creative minds and hands responsible for lifting the beloved figures of a comic book classic off the page and onto the big screen. Author: Weta Workshop is a multi-award winning conceptual design and physical manufacturing facility based out of Wellington, New Zealand, servicing the world's entertainment and wider creative industries. Weta Workshop is also a multi-disciplinary facility, with crew members expert in a diverse range of disciplines all housed under the one roof.

DC COMICS

In Gotham City, where heinous acts of violence are a daily occurrence, the GCPD relies on Harley Quinn, a young forensic psychiatrist and profiler, to consult on their toughest cases. But Harley is haunted by one unsolved case-the night she discovered her roommate's body marked with the signature of a notorious serial killer known as The Joker. Five years later, the case remains unsolved and a new series of horrific murders occur throughout the city. As the murders escalate, Harley's obsession with finding the depraved psychopath responsible leads her down a dangerous path. When the past and the present finally collide, Harley has to decide how far she is willing to go-and how many lines she is willing to cross-to solve these cases once and for all. Written by #1 New York Times and international bestselling author Kami Garcia (co-author of Beautiful Creatures, author of Unbreakable and X-Files: Agents of Chaos) with art by Mico Suayan (Bloodshot: Reborn) and Mike Mayhew (The Star Wars), JOKER/HARLEY: CRIMINAL SANITY introduces readers to a Joker and Harley Quinn unlike any they've seen before, utilizing forensic psychiatry, behavior analysis (profiling) and psychological profiles to create a true-to-life take on these iconic characters that is more terrifying than any psychotic fantasy.
