Heaven: the ultimate bureaucracy.
At its head, not a white-haired anthropomorphic deity with a harp and a throne but a wizened, weaselling old man with bad breath and bad attitude. At his right hand, Bastard Zane, a surly civil servant with a big gun whose job it is to stop those who think they can buck karma.
And then there’s Richard Thyme: genius mathematician and a man who will do whatever it takes to defy Fate and return to his one true love – even if he is dead.
Cue a critically-acclaimed and twisted tale of reincarnation, resurrection and Karmic Accountancy! Mesmerisingly written by the superb Si Spurrier (X-Men: Legacy, Crossed: Wish You Where Here) with gorgeous art from PJ Holden (2000 AD) and colorist Jordie Bellaire (Captain Marvel, Rocketeers, Manhattan Project), this is for anyone who has ever wanted to beat the system – senseless!

The second in a series of six post-apocalyptic graphic novels, created by industry legend and unsurpassed artistic visionary Jack Katz!
After the generations-spanning excitement of the first volume, ‘The Galaxy Hunters’ takes Jack Katz’s epic future history in a bold new direction, as humanity lifts itself back up to the stars, and strikes out for new frontiers, thirsting for new knowledge. But the ‘Gods’ of Helleas Voran, who have watched, guided and schemed against humanity all the while, may not allow a second human empire to dominate the universe! This is a story of love, war, science and destiny, played out on the grandest canvas of them all.
The First Kingdom is presented here in a complete collectors’ library for the first time: completely relettered, and with cleaned and restored art taken from high-resolution scans of the original art pages!
Comprising six volumes in total, each book also includes features on the history of the strip, as well as all-new introductions by Jack Katz and his many industry fans!

So, here’s what’s happened: Booga, Tank Girl’s marsupial lover, is near death. To save him, she must shrink herself and her cronies down to microbial size, enter his blood stream, clean up the mess, and be home in time for beer and snacks.
But their Incredible Expedition goes horribly wrong when, deep in Booga’s scrotum, Tank Girl encounters her ultimate opposite: Anti-Tank Girl!
There may be trouble ahead…
Written by Alan Martin and with hyper-kinetic art by newcomer Warwick Johnson-Cadwell, this epic new collection proves it’s easier to get further with cute good looks, a tank, a kangaroo boyfriend and big, steel-toed boots than just cute good looks.
