Even More New Books!

Grahic Novels:
King of RPGs vol. 2 -- After an intense World of Warfare (WOW) bender, college kid and hardcore gamer Shesh Maccabee finds himself completely consumed by his dark character, slayer extraordinaire Moggrathka. To avoid a repeat incident -- and the potentially fatal consequences of getting whacked online -- Shesh enmeshes himself in the real world with the help of a part-time job, focusing on paying tuition instead of slaying orcs. Meanwhile his archenemy, student cop Rona, is never far behind, watching and waiting for Shesh to lapse back into character and go on a rampage. Before you know it, he does just that, wreaking havoc across the WOW servers ... and across campus.
Code Geass. Lolouch of the Rebellion vol. 3 -- Lelouch, known as Zero, was able to strike a huge blow against the Britannian Forces. But it caused many civilian casualties. Now a different Geass user, Mao, appears. Although the things Lelouch treasures most start crumbling, he must continue on. There's no turning back now ...
Batman & Robin vol. 3, Batman and Robin Must Die! -- On the eve of Bruce Wayne's return to Gotham City, the new Batman and Robin team that battled crime during his absence must deal with the deadly return of the Joker and have a climactic showdown between Batman and the Black Glove. Also, learn what happens to Dick Grayson after the "real" Batman returns.
