A More Perfect Union – Max Brooks and Michael DiPascale bring Max's heavily-researched and period authentic story of the Civil War to life. But this time, the South has been invaded by Giant Insects.

Code Pru – Garth Ennis and Raulo Caceres continue the night shift FDNY paramedic Pru as she learns about the beasties in NY City underworld and how to offer them medical assistance!
