New Releases by Jim Lee

It''s goth meets geek as the Gen13 kids run afoul of Tranquility''s garage band metahumans, the Liberty Snots. These teen legacy heroes drip pretension from every clammy, powdered pore and have no love for the somewhat-less-affected children of Tabula Rasa. It''s a classic battle of outsiders!

"Fire from Heaven: Chapter 3.” Lynch, Deathblow, Grifter, and the kids must fight their way past a manipulated Stormwatch, Ivana Baiul’s DV8, and Kaizen’s deadly compound to save Dr. Tsung and Freefall! Fortunately, new hero Sigma is there to help-but what the group discovers in the depths of Kaizen’s lab is more than any of them could have anticipated…

The team finds itself captured and entirely at the mercy of the mysterious Trance and his Freaks-and there’s not a lot of mercy there to be had! As if that wasn’t bad enough, Caitlin seems to have been completely brainwashed, something very strange is happening with Qeelocke, and Anna has been keeping one pretty big secret from the kids.

When Caitlin goes missing, Lynch and Gen13 follow her trail to an abandoned carnival in San Francisco but find the figure from Freefall’s recurring nightmares has led them all into a trap. On the other side of the world, Ivana Baiul gets ready to make her move against Gen13, while Captain Lucius Morgan contacts an old friend.

The Vatican’s own super-powered team-the Centurions-has captured Fairchild, Grunge, and Freefall! Now it’s up to Rainmaker and Burnout to find and rescue their teammates with the help of their old frenemy, Bliss-but can they afford to trust her?

Still making their way back home after their island adventure, the team takes some time to enjoy Italian nightlife. But when a heartbroken Burnout vents his anguish with a fiery display of power in the skies over Rome, the Vatican interprets it as a violation of their jurisdiction-and responds with their own super-powered team!

It’s all-out war between the forces of the Pirate King and the Coda Sisterhood for the fate of a young girl-and Gen13 is caught in the middle! The Isle Du Mystere gives up its secrets-but will the fate of Caitlin’s long-lost father be among them?

Who exactly — them or me — first came up with the idea, I''m not certain. No matter. The Institute for Southern Studies staff asked if I would take out six months to travel the South as a reporter for the Institute''s then-new syndicated weekly column, Facing South. Captive to Southern fondness for poking about the region and to that larger American myth about freedom deriving from travel, I claimed the job before any list of applicants could be gotten up. A new van was purchased and fitted out with a bed, typing stand, CB and regular AM-FM radio, specially cut mosquito netting, and a fan. The Institute''s charge dictated that I''d see the rural South, not too much of the Interstate/urbanized South. Places like Ville Platte, Louisiana; Ink, Arkansas; Ripley, Mississippi; Pickens, South Carolina; and Fincastle, Virginia. The blessings of this constraint came vividly to mind when my path intersected an Interstate cloverleaf in Georgia — typically crammed with service stations, motels and fast food franchises. Over the door of one eatery hung a banner proclaiming "Join the Fun — Eat and Run." All told, I logged nearly 28,000 miles between May and October, 7977. I kept an eye out for the little things. Graffiti, for example. In the rest room of a Charlottesville, Virginia, vegetarian restaurant I found: "Mother made me a homosexual." Below, in another''s writing, "Fantastic! If I bought her the yarn, would she make me one?" Or signs, like one on a New Orleans building: Straight Business College. And listened for larger themes, not at all certain I could hear them — but knowing that these, too, were a Southern tradition going back at least to the days of Fannie Kemble''s Journal of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation in 1838-1839, the powerful attack on slavery, and William Byrd ''s History of the Dividing Line Betwixt Virginia and North Carolina, the travel log some assert first described "the good ol'' boy."
