A Colombian cartel boss indulges all of his most sadistic whims unaware that a threat far greater than zombies is headed toward his jungle fortress. A Rwandan doctor must overcome the crippling fear that has plagued him all his life as he stumbles through the African bush. And a pregnant woman barricaded in an American big box store discovers that the greatest threat to her life – and her unborn child's – might not be undead.

"Benjamin Percy is a force." -- Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See
This debut collection of stories, The Language of Elk, by the award-winning author of Red Moon, assembles its cast from the mountain towns and low life taverns and high desert ranches of Oregon--a state that in isolated pockets remains a still-unfinished place, the frontier.

Here nature exists as a source of wonder and a force to be conquered. Here myths haunt the moss-laden woods and Benjamin Percy shines his light on them, revealing bearded ladies and Bigfoot and marijuana colonies and elk hunting ranches and haunted Indian burial sites, the underside of contemporary western America.

With a salty mystical voice that partners the landscape and a vision as wild as his characters, Percy explores a world of surprising violence and gentleness, hilarity and heartbreak, loveliness and ugliness, and in doing so emerges as a beautifully raw voice of the West.

$9.99

Green Arrow has lost his fortune, and now he is hitting the road to save America in Green Arrow Vol. 5: Hard-Traveling Hero.

They’re called the Ninth Circle-a criminal bank that funds war, terror and carnage, all in the name of racking up profits. They stole Oliver Queen’s company from him and nearly destroyed Seattle, only to rebuild it in their own image as Star City. Now they’ve got their sights set on the rest of the United States.

But Ollie is having none of it. As Green Arrow, he’s setting out across the U.S. to piece together the clues that will lead him to the Ninth Circle, one brawl at a time. And though Green Arrow’s never been much of a team player, his travels find him crossing paths with heroes like Batman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and Superman. But before they can team up, Ollie will have to make amends for the jerk he’s been in the past.

Even with the full might of the Justice League behind him, can Green Arrow take down an organization so powerful they’re seemingly above the law? Or will his quest just paint a target on his back so big that even Ollie can’t escape it?

Acclaimed novelist Benjamin Percy (Teen Titans, The Dead Lands) and artists Otto Schmidt (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Juan Ferreyra (New Suicide Squad) bring Green Arrow back to his hard-travelin’ roots! Collects Green Arrow #26-31.
