Tato kniha se stane vaším nepostradatelným průvodcem po úchvatném tajemnu hvězdné oblohy, bude vás provázet od nesmělého svitu první hvězdy až po vznešenou nádheru dalekých galaxií.

Vládne syrovou energií chaosu a dokáže přetvořit realitu. Wanda Maximoffová, známá jako Scarlet Witch, je jedním z předních členů Avengers. Nyní vám poodhalíme chaotickou minulost jedné z nejmocnějších čarodějek Marvelu. Dočtete se, jak se Wanda poprvé objevila v řadách Magnetova podlého Bratrstva zlých mutantů, a pak už vám ukážeme jeden z nejzásadnějších komiksů, které o téhle hrdince můžeme nabídnout. V dnes už tak kultovním příběhu West Coast Avengers: Scarletina mise kreslíře a scenáristy Johna Byrnea dojde Scarlet Witch až na hranice svých možnosit.

První kniha o pekelném chlapci – Hellboyovi nám ukáže jeho příchod na náš svět, staneme se svědkem vraždy jeho adoptivního otce a poznáme jeho největší Nemesis – mnicha Rasputina. Zároveň poznáme i zbytek zásahového týmu Úřadu paranormálního výzkumu a obrany – rybího muže Abe Sapiena a pyrokinetičku Liz Shermanovou. Společně se postaví proti žabolidem z rodiny Cavendishů a prastarému bohovi Ogdru Džahadovi.

Do týmu X-Men přichází noví a zásadní členové. Poprvé se objevuje Kitty Pride... A hned jí jde o život. Ovšem pekelně záludný Hellfire Club není to nejhorší, co X-Meny čeká. V dvaadvacáté knize řady Comicsové legendy začíná jedna z největších událostí komiksového vesmíru. Přichází Dark Phoenix. Celý vesmír je v ohrožení a v centru víru, který může zničit veškerou existenci, je jedna jediná osoba - Jean Greyová.

X-Meni, které shromáždil profesor Charles Xavier, aby bránili svět, jenž se jich bojí a nenávidí je, vybojovali již mnoho bitev, zažili dobrodružství po celé galaxii a pokořili protivníky s nesmírnou mocí, ale nic z toho je nemohlo připravit na nejstrašnější dilema, jakému kdy museli čelit. Jedna z jejich vlastních řad, Jean Greyová, získala moc mimo veškeré představy a tato moc ji absolutně zkorumpovala! Zbylí členové týmu se nyní musí rozhodnout, jestli život ženy, kterou milují, stojí za existenci celého vesmíru.

Umírající Lex Luthor využil záhadnou moc rudého kryptonitu (který stvořil škodolibý rarach z pátého rozměru, Mr. Mxyzptlk) a připravil Supermana o jeho schopnosti. Muž z oceli teď musí nalézt způsob, jak je opět získat, nebo ho čeká život obyčejného člověka - a navzdory svému oslabení se pokouší vypořádat s hrozbou superpadouchů Barrage, Mammotha a Thaddeuse Kilgravea.

Byrne finds senior sleuth and Jill-of-all-trades Isabel Puddles investigating a deadly mystery among Rust Belt royalty in the cozy town of Gull Harbor, Michigan… “Too late” isn’t a factor for Isabel Puddles—until the clock starts ticking on a deadly mystery in the cozy town of Gull Harbor, Michigan... Isabel is living life on her terms as summer stirs the peaceful shores of Lake Michigan. Only slowing down to meet her oldest friend for daily coffee, the newly licensed PI has found herself chipping away at the college degree she never completed—and, to her surprise, eagerly awaiting letters from her pen pal, an admired British mystery writer. But when her latest client turns out to be an extravagant recluse who’s rich both in secrets and money, Isabel becomes embroiled in the strange world of Rust Belt royalty and the Memorial Day Weekend disappearance of a handsome young heir. Beyond the famous family name and ugly rumors surrounding her, Abigail Bachmeier is an enigma. With one great nephew presumed dead after vanishing off the side of a ferry, Abigail makes the strange request to locate another missing relative. As Isabel investigates and gets closer to revealing at least one more possible murder, she begins to suspect yet another life could soon be in terrible danger—her own.

Underwood Lane - the winter sun hangs like a suppurating boil glued to a giant sheet of dirty asbestos above the blackened tenements that rear up from the cobbled street like a row of broken teeth... Brilliantly funny and packed with iconic songs from the early Sixties, this is a new musical play from the writer of the classic Scottish masterpiece, The Slab Boys Trilogy. Telling the tale of a young skiffle band trying to make it, Underwood Lane has it all: style, fierce love rivalry, broken hearts, dodgy dealers, religion, sex and death. It is written in memory of the author's Paisley buddy, Gerry Rafferty, who was born and brought up on the titular street. John Byrne's Underwood Lane premiered in a co-production between Tron Theatre Company and OneRen with support from Renfrewshire Council's Future Paisley Programme. The play opened at Johnstone Town Hall, Johnstone, and transferred to the Tron Theatre, Glasgow, in July 2022.

"To the tourists and summer residents, Kentwater County is a picturesque community of small-town charm, fruitful farmland, and gorgeous freshwater beaches. To middle-aged widow Isabel Puddles, it's where she enjoys breakfast every morning at a local café with her childhood best friend and spends her evenings cozying up with a good book and her devoted Jack Terrier, Jackpot. In between, Isabel makes ends meet through a variety of trades - preserving pickles, baking pies, working the counter at her cousin's hardware shop, and occasionally helping "fix-up" the hair of corpses at the local funeral parlor. When Isabel discovers a two-inch nail embedded in the skull of Earl Jonasson, it seems the octogenarian may not have died of a stroke. His son is quickly arrested when his alibi doesn't check out. But Isabel has known Earl Jr. since they were kids and can't believe he'd murder his own father, regardless of his financial difficulties. As gossip about Earl Sr.'s land and insurance policy money starts to spread around the county, Isabel finds herself conducting her own investigation to clear her friend's name. "--Publisher
