New Releases
Daredevil by Saladin Ahmed Volume One: Hell Breaks Loose by Saladin Ahmed, Aaron Kruder, Farid Karami, and Germán Peralta
Matt Murdock wants nothing more than a fresh start to life, far away from all that superhero jazz. So, of course, you know what that means: his whole world is about to get turned upside-down, thanks to the usual cadre of supervillains giving Hell’s Kitchen — and him personally — grief!
Lowborn High by David Barnett and Anna Morozova
Androgeus always assumed that he, like everyone else in his family, would end up at the most prestigious wizarding school in the world. So he’s in for an unpleasant surprise when he’s sent to the low-class Lowborn High. As he soon learns, however, not having a pedigree doesn’t mean you don’t have talent!

Have a heroic rest of your week! And hey, if you’re bored at school or work, just pretend you’re an undercover superhero on a stakeout. Hopefully that will keep you motivated until the weekend!
