(W/A) Hub

The second volume of this critically acclaimed French comic book series finally resumes! When we last left the ronin Okko and his band of demon hunters, the group was getting closer to discovering more about the powerful Raven monks and their deadly motives. Now, with one of their own severely wounded, the group teams up with a one-armed, female samurai warrior and her loyal rat servant to seek out The Forbidden Libraries, where they hope to find out who these sorcerer monks are and why they’ve been stealing bodies of dead soldiers from battlefields all over the Pajan Empire. Could these basket hat-wearing monks of the Raven clan be secretly forming an Army of the Dead?

THE ENGINEER VOL. 1: KONSTRUKT
(W) Brian Churilla and Jeremy Shepherd (A) Brian Churilla

An ancient sentient entity is feasting on the very fabric of space and time. Only one man can stop it: The Engineer, last survivor of the destroyed Earth. Utilizing a colossal pipe organ that enables pan-dimensional travel, The Engineer pursues the lost components of The Konstrukt, an archaic mechanism that imbues whoever possesses it with the ability to manipulate reality itself, in the hopes of using it to defeat the creature and undo the incalculable damage it has already done. Giant bat creatures, were-crabs, immense rock creatures, amorphous witches and armies of undead abound in this pulpy sci-fi romp for all ages! Collects and completes The Engineer series.

The Engineer is the first in a series of discounted hardcovers from Archaia to introduce new readers to the publisher’s unique library of titles.
