New Releases by Kelly Sue DeConnick

The first compendium asked the question, what happened to Elisa Cameron? This oversized comics collection has the answers. Also, read the reimagined relaunch of Dark Horse’s spectral avenger, Ghost! Elisa Cameron is dead—or is she? Having spent an after-lifetime trying to reconstruct the events that lead to her death, Ghost finally has the answers that she fought so hard to uncover. But like a broken mirror, the shards of the past can be dangerous and razor sharp, and you may not like the face looking back at you once you piece them all together. The answers to all of our spectral avenger’s questions can be found here, but a past revealed may mean a future destroyed. All of Ghost’s second series is collected in this volume and features writing by the inimitable talents of Chris Warner and Mike Kennedy and haunting images by Christian Zanier, Ryan Benjamin, Dan Norton, Jason Pearson, Francisco Ruiz Velasco, and more! Then, trade the decaying infrastructure of Arcadia for the vibrant culture of Chicago’s city streets in 2012’s reimagining of Ghost. One warm night in the Windy City’s Resurrection Cemetery, two paranormal investigators accidentally summon a beautiful, transparent woman. Their search for her true identity uncovers a dark, hidden history of the city and a deadly alliance between political corruption and demonic science!

Millennia ago, Queen Hera and the goddesses of the Olympian pantheon grew greatly dissatisfied with their male counterparts…and far from their sight, they put a plan into action. A new society was born, one never before seen on Earth, capable of wondrous and terrible things…but their existence could not stay secret for long.

The third and final chapter of the critically lauded and Eisner-nominated secret history of the Amazons crescendos with the inevitable-an all-out war against the gods. When Zeus discovers the goddesses defied him by creating the Amazons, seemingly nothing can stop his fervor to eliminate their warriors…not even Hera herself. But the Amazons’ numbers have grown, and there is a distinctly and unpredictably human element among their ranks now in Hippolyta and the tribe she leads. Their very fight for existence will alter the course of history itself and bring about one of the greatest protectors the world has ever known!

The second installment of the jaw-droppingly ambitious history of the Amazons finds their future queen, Hippolyta, cutting a swath through the world of men, desperate to be reunited with the astonishing women who saved her life…but unfortunately for her, they’re hard folk to find. Perhaps it is the will of the Goddesses that they cross paths again…but before that moment, Hippolyta will gather to herself a tribe of her very own-and find that the hearts of all women do not necessarily burn with a flame as righteous as her own…
