OUT OF THE SHADOWS! All she wanted was to bring back the husband she has lost. Instead, she will unleash a new kind of evil into the world. After her royal spouse was burned alive before her eyes, Queen Juliana turned her back on the gods of balance and pledged her life to the Wolf-God, Ulghir. In secret, she bled for him. In silence, she absorbed his teachings. And then, in darkness, she gave birth to two sons -- one conceived in love, the other from black magic -- thus setting in motion the tragic events that spell doom for the Realms of Ice and Fire! Written by SARA FRAZETTA and illustrated by GEOF ISHERWOOD -- Fire and Ice: Nekron unearths the twisted origin of one of fantasy's most terrifying villains, weaving a cautionary tale of grief, rage, and the ultimate corruption of ambition.

Even as she is transferring her powers to Prince Nekron, the grief-maddened sorceress Juliana casts one final spell to resurrect her firstborn son, Kaledan - who is about to discover that getting brought back to life isn't as enjoyable as one might think. Meanwhile, having fought off the subhuman raiders, the Queen of Firekeep adds the warrior boy Larn to her expedition - now they just have to make it across a jungle overrun with enemy warriors and their tame monsters!

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE -- AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER! In the post-apocalyptic future that follows Judgment Day, the shattered remnants of humanity must make use of every tool they can in their existential battle against the machines -- and that includes the deadliest weapons that Skynet sends to annihilate them. For one member of the Resistance, this means trusting his life to a reprogrammed Terminator. Trapped behind enemy lines, the soldier and his repurposed engine of destruction must find a way to both survive and complete their mission -- an undertaking with such a low probability of success that it could reboot the Terminator back to its default settings! Acclaimed Terminator and ThunderCats author DECLAN SHALVEY is joined by co-writer RORY MCCONVILLE and returning artist LORENZO RE for a brand-new chapter in his chilling saga of the War Against the Machines with The Terminator: Metal #1 -- featuring brutally beautiful covers from SHALVEY, BOB LAYTON, SEBASTIAN PIRIZ, and IVAN TAO!

Five comics stories set in James Cameron's expansive world that take place before, during, and after the 2009 multiple Academy Award-winning film Avatar. In the year 2154, on the moon Pandora, in a galaxy far from earth, Marine Jake Sully joined the native Na'vi through an avatar body and became their leader in the fight against the destructive RDA organization and human colonization. In Tsu'tey's Path experience these events--events of the first Avatar movie--from the perspective of Na'vi Omatikaya warrior Tsu'tey! Then, in the short story "Brothers," Jake connects with the flying Toruk by remembering the depth of his bond with his twin brother and great partnerships of history and legend. In The Next Shadow, set immediately after the events of Avatar, Jake navigates his position as both leader of the Omatikaya and former Marine as tensions ramp up between the Na'vi and the humans who remain on Pandora. Meanwhile, in Frontiers of Pandora: So'lek's Journey, young Na'vi warrior, So'lek, finds himself one of the last survivors of his clan after the Battle of the Hallelujah Mountains. He searches for his place on Pandora and struggles with waking nightmares of war. This is the origin story of So'lek, a key character in Ubisoft's AA PC/console video game. Finally, set years before the events of Avatar, in Adapt or Die, Dr. Grace Augustine wants to build a bridge between the occupying humans and the Na'vi, but her plans hit a wall as a mysterious illness among Na'vi and avatars is blamed on the humans. Seize the opportunity to delve further into the world of Avatar with these canon stories from writers Sherri L.

Somebody has left their Blue Grundo Plushie here. What a poor unwanted little guy, maybe you should talk to him... no, he's just a toy, he won't answer you. Don't be silly! No one knows where The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity (TDMBGPOP) came from. He was spotted one day sitting on a Faerieland cloud. At first, Neopets believed he was just forgotten and whoever left him there would return for him soon. But many moons passed, and no one came. When Faerieland fell from the sky, TDMBGPOP toppled down with it. He descended until his stitches were snagged by a tree branch, and he took up post in a nearby tree. These days, Neopians from all over visit TDMBGPOP in his tree. Rumor has it that if you talk to the poor guy, you'll get a rare item or Neopoints. Perhaps it was good luck or . . . ? No one knows. Not even TDMBGPOP. Until one day, when TDMBGPOP discovers that he can move. Not only that--he can talk and walk and cartwheel! But there's something amiss in Neopia. All of the Neopets have turned into toys--and even Queen Fyora is looking quite playful, if you know what we mean. This beautifully illustrated original graphic novel tackles some of life's hardest questions--like the meaning of family, "good" vs. "evil," and what it means to be real. This graphic novel also includes a universal code for a new one-time-use item in the back, which can be redeemed on the Neopets website. Backmatter in the back of the comic, written by disability activist and content creator Sabrina Hutchings, touches on the importance of equity for people (and Faeries!) with disabilities, like Seshatia the Library Faerie, who is an ambulatory wheelchair user.
