A Norse blacksmith befriends a poor girl fallen in with corrupt Christian missionaries only to be banished. In "The Siege of Paris," medieval warfare is seen through the eyes of a simple grunt as a massive army grinds to a halt against the walls of that ancient city. And an isolated Viking settlement on the Volga River falls prey to a violent contagion as the brutal Northern winter descends in "The Plague Widow." Writer Brian Wood (DMZ, Rebels, The Massive), with a lineup of acclaimed artists including Riccardo Burchielli (DMZ), Leandro Fernandez (The Old Guard), Simon Gane (They're Not Like Us) and others, brings his modern, stylish sensibility a thousand years into the past.

It is intended to take away as much as possible of the mathematics and mystique from calculating gear ratios, so that the more enjoyable work of using your lathe to make things becomes as easy as possible. Topics covered in this latest addition to the Crowood Metalworking Guides includes Myford and other types of lathes; approximations and alternatives; errors and their significance and the non-gearbox mini-lathe.

Once described as "the real thing" by a professor of English at the University of Ottawa, Brian Wood's new book is an attempt to stand apart from much of the poetry written today. This collection of prose and poetry pays homage to many of Wood's favorites-Larkin, Dante, Frost, Auden and Donne-while striking a voice of his own-quiet, subdued, but sometimes unsparing. Some pieces are about history, others about the modern church, others about faith and belief, but the best poems are probably the ones about love itself.

FROM THE SOUNDSTAGE TO THE STREETS! Once the world's most famous chef, Gavin Cruikshank's been in a self-imposed exile for years. In his absence his little foodie television program has evolved into STARVE, a morally bankrupt competition show that thrills the wealthiest of the wealthy with rare, dangerous, and often illegal cuisine. But Gavin’s one-man crusade to end this outrage has stalled out, and he finds himself seduced by the very things he fled from in the first place: The toxic mix of success, money, and adoration. Instead of trying to change the 1%, Gavin shifts his focus to the other 99%, and sparks a revolution from the ground up, empowering those who need it the most. Addressing real world themes of food scarcity and class warfare, STARVE brings its smart and subversive commentary to the forefront, making it one of the most relevant comics in recent times.

Once the world's most famous chef, Gavin Cruikshank's been in a self-imposed exile for years. His little foodie television program has since evolved into STARVE, an arena sport that pits chef against chef for the pleasure of their super-rich patrons. It's a stain on a once-noble profession, and Chef Gavin is ready to go to war to stop it. Two things stand in his way: his arch rival Roman Algiers, and his adult daughter Angie, who probably just wants her dad back and acting normal.
