Brain Damage by Shintaro Kago
Hardcover, 200 black & white pages, measures 10.2 x 7.1 inches.
From the brilliant and twisted mind of manga artist Shintaro Kago, a new collection of short stories rife with skin-crawling suspense, visceral body horror, and pitch dark-humor.
In 2018, manga artist Shintaro Kago made his English debut with Dementia 21, a collection of absurdist manga short stories. Readers found themselves delighted and disgusted by his penchant for body horror, black comedy and the surreal paired with his emphatic, kinetic art style. Kago returns at the height of his powers with Brain Damage, where he dials up the gore and absurdity to new heights.
Brain Damage collects four new short manga stories, a tantalizing blend of the hilarious and the macabre. In “Labyrinth Quartet,” four identical young women trapped in an eerie building must solve the mystery of why they’ve been gathered there ― while being hunted by a knife-wielding stalker. In “Curse Room,” a plucky health aide is tasked with keeping zombies peaceful, lest they go on a brain-eating rampage. In “Family Portrait,” people throughout town are strangely disappearing without a trace, and the key to it all is a senile and perverted old man. Finally, in “Blood Harvest” a series of gruesomely mangled bodies are found in pristine cars ― and it appears something sinister lurks within these masses of glass and steel.

Life Drawing: A Love and Rockets Collection - Jaime Hernandez
136 pages, 9.4 x 11.6 inches. Hardcover, black and white pages.
Ten years in the making (and torn from the pages of the legendary Love and Rockets), Jaime Hernandez's newest graphic novel skillfully weaves two generations of his beloved characters into a satisfying story of love—both young and middle-aged. Life Drawing darts primarily between the youthful Tonta and the venerable Maggie. Tonta has a crush on her art teacher, Ray, as well as an axe to grind with an older woman in the neighborhood. When Tonta finds that the woman, Maggie, is married to Ray, things get complicated. And Tonta does not handle complications well.
Life Drawing showcases Hernandez's brilliant talent for character, weaving relationships, rejections, infidelities, and adventures involving: Tonta's self-involved sisters Vivian, Violet, and Muñeca; her colorful pals Gomez, Judy Fair, and Brown Alice; her mother, the infamous 'Black Widow of the Valley'; and of course, the two great loves of Maggie's life, Ray and Hopey. There's also a forest spirit, two weddings, some cosplay, a little pole dancing, and page after page of breathtaking comics by the medium's most wide-eyed romantic. Did we mention the weddings?

152 pages, 9.8 x 6.9 inches. Hardcover, black and white pages.
A lost afikoman, a time-traveling talking goat, and a never-ending seder illuminate the meaning of Passover in Dara Horn’s hilariously deadpan graphic novel.
A family sits at the Passover seder table, but cannot find their afikoman―the hidden matzah required to end the meal―and as a result, they are trapped at a seder that cannot end. Six months in, a wisecracking talking goat shows up at their door with bad news: Thousands of years of previous seders have accumulated underneath their seder, and their afikoman is stuck in one of them. Now the family’s “wise child” must travel down with the goat through centuries of previous Passovers to find it―and to discover the questions he needs to start asking. black-and-white throughout
Theo Ellsworth - The Understanding Monster (Book Three)
64 pages, measures 9 x 11.25 tall. Hardcover, full color.
This highly-anticipated third book completes Theo Ellworth's epic adventure, which the New York Times calls "an urgent (and often very funny) attempt to explain a coocoo-rococo cosmology made up of garbled fragments of role-playing games, Transformers episodes, relaxation exercises and horror movies."
Eleanor Davis, author of How to be Happy, writes: "Theo Ellsworth's comics don't make normal sense; they make a sort of super-psychic sense. His stories are filled with pure terror, pure hope, and pure, weird, unwavering love."
In The Understanding Monster - Book Three, our hero, Izadore, awakes to find his mind, body and soul reunited. The last Monks of the Imaginary Man lead him on a journey beyond Toy Mountain to discover the true nature of the relationship between creativity and reality.

Little Thunder on KAI (Via Gallerie LeMonde):
Back in 2017, I met Kai when she came to my exhibition '# ME.' She was just a middle school student at that time. Then, in 2020, during a signing event , a girl told me it was her 18th birthday. I wrote 'Happy Birthday' next to my signature, and that girl was Kai. I've always remembered that moment.
In the summer of 2024, I saw some cool artworks on Instagram and realized the artist was the birthday girl from years ago! She's studying in Tokyo, since I was going Tokyo too, I thought it would be great to meet up. When we finally met, it felt like we had known each other forever. We drew together, walking around Harajuku, and she took me to the photoism spot. Every time we get together, we just draw together.
Kai inspired me a lot, and with Yoshi's help, we started our exchange diary THUNDER 'N' SEA!

KAI on Little Thunder (Via Gallerie LeMonde):
I first Little Thunder on my 18th birthday in Hong Kong at her fan-sign event four years ago. Back then, I was graduating high school soon and Little Thunder's works have always been a source of inspiration for me. We met officially at i2 cafe in Tokyo this year, and drew for the entire afternoon before walking around the area in Harajuku, Tokyo. Little Thunder remembered Gallery LE MONDE, where she held a solo exhibition in 2019, and we visited there together. Yoshi who is the owner of the gallery was surprised to see Little Thunder, and that night we all went our for dinner. After showing Yoshi our drawings of each other from the day, he proposed that we do an exchange diary project together.Being able to be in such close conversation with Little Thunder feels like talking to an older sister ,or as I like to call her , 'MAMI(媽咪)' A lot of the emotions I may not be able to talk about seems to be understood by her, and for some reason, it really felt like I grew up with her. I'm really grateful that I was able to collaborate and get to know Little Thunder through art, and this relationship is something I really cherish.
