D3 (NEW IMPRINT JUST FOR DIGEST BOOKS!!)
Penguin Bros. --DIGEST
Writer: Josh Blaylock
Artist: Josh Blaylock
Cover: Josh Blaylock
Rating: TEEN READERS 12+
Format: 144 pages. B&W OGN DIGEST.
Retail Price: $10.95
For the first time in almost a decade, the PENGUIN BROS. return. Three teenage penguins living in Chill City, Antarctica are the ones chosen to become their city's heroes, and granted Super Powers. There's only one problem - they'd rather go to concerts, hang with girlfriends, and play video games. Self-published by Josh Blaylock in the mid nineties, "PB" was a small press success across conventions nationwide, but never received main-stream exposure. Includes issues 1-3, the never-before-printed issue 4, and an all new 8 page story and cover by Josh Blaylock. It's sleigh cars, super powers and homework in the Penguin Bros. TPB.

Artist: Drawn by Chris Stevens of Udon/Colored by Udon

Format: 32 pages color comic. Saddle stitched.

The first Master & Apprentice series was a sellout-and the follow up promises to be bigger, better, and more explosive!
Tommy Arashikage has led a life twisted by tragedy and consumed by darkness. For too long, the man called Storm Shadow has been a puppet of Cobra and its manipulative leader. But he has retained his honor-and now, he is determined to shatter the bonds that hold him to the terrorist group.
For months, in secret, Storm Shadow has been training an Apprentice-someone who will, like Snake-Eyes' Kamakura, carry on the Arashikage teachings-an ally who will help him take the fight to Cobra. But there is more to this female apprentice than meets the eye-and the sins of both their pasts may be too much to overcome.
Written by the acclaimed writer of Master & Apprentice I and G.I. Joe, Brandon Jerwa, and illustrated by Udon's star-in-waiting Chris Stevens, this is the Storm Shadow tale G.I. Joe fans have been waiting years for!

While the Joes infiltrate Cobra Island, Cobra Commander makes a violent attempt on General Hawk's life and the South American nation of Sierra Gordo is invaded by a mysterious new high-tech commando unit. As the players enact their strategies, the pawns move into place.
PLAYERS AND PAWNS also introduces the most anticipated new addition to the GI JOE mythos in years - WRAITH. This memorable debut is penciled by TALENT CALDWELL of ASPEN Studios.

After years of failed experiments conducted in the bowels of his towering dark castle, Professor Gerdenheim was finally successful in discovering the secrets of life, death… and reanimation.
Fashioning a creature by integrating and enhancing body parts from countless
corpses, Prof. Gerdenheim created VICTOR. He was overjoyed at the sight of his newly born creation, but many villagers accused the scientist of being mad to allow such an 'abomination' to walk the Earth. In this story featuring guest artist JOE (Sentinel, Thundercats) VRIENS and ALVIN (Street Fighter, Agent X) LEE, VICTOR is mistakenly blamed for a murder and is hunted down by the very people he tries to protect.

Art: Mark Lee
Cover (A): Manga Superstar-Mark Lee
Cover (B): Mook Lim
Format: 32 pages color comic. Saddle stitched.
Cover Price 2.95.
The Concept: The continent of Mu is home to great warriors, powerful wizards, mysterious elves and gruesome monsters, all living in precarious balance. But when a long forgotten evil returns, the world is plunged into chaos. As bloodstained armies march
through the land and nations burn, it falls to a most unlikely hero to save the world; a librarian. Based on Webzen's popular role-playing game, Mu is epic fantasy in the tradition of Tolkien, Jordan and Martin.
This Issue: Etramu Renos and Kundun Mephis confront the dark god Secneum and his army in a bloody battle that shakes the continent of Mu. While, a thousand years in the future, Icarus and Zak continue their quest, and Emperor Antonias Kalain suffers an insult that could change the course of history. Time is running out as the hour of the shadow lord's return nears, and with it the end of the world.
