December 1, 2015

The master cartoonist behind Box Office Poison, Tricked, and Too Cool to Be Forgotten is back! Our Expanding Universe, the new graphic novel from Alex Robinson, is available now from your favorite retailer. Click here for a preview, or take it from these critics:

"In Our Expanding Universe, Robinson considers the big choice — to have kids or not... It's a delight to watch him pile speech bubbles atop each other, assemble mundane elements into complicated full-page tableaux and mix realism with fantasy." — NPR

"Robinson is a genius at characterization, and masterly in weaving the friendships and relationships together; the players are so believable and real that readers will continue thinking about them long after the story concludes." Publishers Weekly

"Robinson's ability to examine the awkward, to comment on societal trends, and to grab you by the heart and pull wet stuff from your tear ducts are all fully on display here... Top notch." — Under the Radar

"An improbably well-balanced examination of friendship and parenthood."Page 45

While you're shopping, pick up the striking new cover edition of Alex Robinson's multi-award-winning debut, Box Office Poison, declared by Wizard Magazine the best indy graphic novel of all time! As the AV Club once said: it's "a salute to comics, an exploration of the human condition, and a solid, absorbing, and riotously snide tale about at least half of the things that make life important."

And don't miss the stunning Slipcase Edition of Alan Moore & Kevin O'Neill's Nemo Trilogy! With these three standalone adventures, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen creators follow pirate queen Janni Nemo on decades of rip-roaring escapades around the globe, from Lovecraftian horrors to metallo-fascist monstrosities. Now you can get — or give — the full trilogy in a gorgeous boxed set for one low price.
