Book Description
A stunning new epic fantasy series following a young outcast who must fight with everything she has to survive, set in the same world as Red Sister. In the ice, east of the Black Rock, there is a hole into which broken children are thrown. Yaz’s people call it the Pit of the Missing and now it is drawing her in as she has always known it would. To resist the cold, to endure the months of night when even the air itself begins to freeze, requires a special breed. Variation is dangerous, difference is fatal. And Yaz is not the same. Yaz’s difference tears her from the only life she’s ever known, away from her family, from the boy she thought she would spend her days with, and has to carve out a new path for herself in a world whose existence she never suspected. A world full of difference and mystery and danger. Yaz learns that Abeth is older and stranger than she had ever imagined. She learns that her weaknesses are another kind of strength and that the cruel arithmetic of survival that has always governed her people can be challenged.

Book Description
Just north of Detroit in a 1960’s neighborhood, a group of kids, Ted, Natalie, Mitch, Greg, and Jim make a promise never to reveal how they write their secret messages. As they grow up, they remain friends throughout their lives. They stand up for each other’s weddings and attend the birthday parties of each other’s children. However, on the fiftieth anniversary of having met on Matthew Street, their childhood promise, results in them being recruited by the CIA for a deadly mission which will test their friendships to the breaking point. The CIA has discovered that the pope is missing and has been replaced by an extraterrestrial imposter. However, that is top secret information and only those on a “need to know” basis are privy to it. The U.S. Government cannot be involved, so they enlist a third party to be the face of their operation. The Matthew Street Gang is charged with the task to eliminate the imposter and close the portal above First Nation Ridge in Arizona. But when several people go missing and everything points to the Vatican observatory, three Apache scouts get involved, and the life-long friends must finally recognize the true identity of their enemies or die!

Book Description
From 1985 to 1995, Mark Gruenwald was the head writer for Captain America. During this decade, Gruenwald wrote some of the most essential stories in Captain America's history and guided the comic through an eventful period of both world history and comic book history. This book dissects the influence of the world at large on Gruenwald's stories and the subsequent influence of Gruenwald's work on the world of comics. The book's ten chapters discuss a wide range of topics including the generational tensions inherent in a comic about a G.I. Generation hero, written by a baby boomer, for an audience of Gen Xers; the enduring threat of the Red Skull and the never-ending aura of World War II; the rising popularity of vigilante characters during the '90s; and how Captain America fits into the war on drugs and its "just say no" mentality. Set against the declining American patriotism of the 1980s and 1990s, this book places special emphasis on the symbolism of the most American of superheroes.
