Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
OK! Only about a month until I have Peter V. Brett’s The Desert Spear in my greedy little mitts. I loved the world building of The Warded Man, and after reading Carrie Ryan’s The Forest of Hands and Teeth, I am chomping at the bit for this one! Demons are a lot like zombies, in my little universe. This will be in stores April 13th.
From Amazon:
The sun is setting on humanity. The night now belongs to voracious demons that arise as the sun sets, preying upon a dwindling population forced to cower behind ancient and half-forgotten symbols of power. These wards alone can keep the demons at bay, but legends tell of a Deliverer: a general—some would say prophet—who once bound all mankind into a single force that defeated the demons. Those times, if they ever existed, are long past. The demons are back, and the return of the Deliverer is just another myth . . . or is it?
On the graphic novel front, I am looking forward to Twilight’s release, more to see if it creates a wave of interest in other manga and GN properties that have some cross-over appeal. One thing is a given – if the Twilight graphic novel sells like hotcakes, you can expect other YA titles to end up as comics as well. The stampede starts March 16th.
When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret…
Beautifully rendered, this first installment of Twilight: The Graphic Novel is a must-have for any collector’s library.
Oh, look! Here’s a title with lots of cross-over appeal for those hoards of screaming Twilight fan girls! I love this series and I love Yen Press for publishing it. Can you please take some of your gobs of Twilight profits and develop more talent like Sveltana’s?
Nightschool Vol 3 will be in stores April 20th.
From Amazon:
Alex has to enroll in the Nightschool to get a Nightpass which allows the wearer to walk the grounds without triggering its protective spells. She is suddenly immersed in the otherworldly environment of nighttime schooling, getting a tour of the magical areas of the school, meeting other students, and attending classes. Alex makes a big splash when she proves too powerful for the class into which she’s originally placed and gets transferred into the elite class taught by Mr. Roi. However, Mr. Roi is off with Daemon trying to figure out what was under the broken seal in Marina’s vision…
