New Releases by Adam Warren

From comics kingpin Adam Warren comes Empowered, the sexy superhero comedy—except when it isn’t—that pushes envelopes, crosses boundaries, and breaks a few buildings for good measure! Costumed crimefighter Empowered is trapped in a surreal nightmare scenario as her universe begins spontaneously rebooting again and again, with each variation more twisted and bizarre than the last! Can our befuddled superheroine somehow undo this inexplicable Neverending Reboot—while simultaneously steering her love life in a boldly polyamorous new direction with Thugboy and Ninjette!—or is this The End for Emp and her chaotically convulsing cosmos?

Attention, nerds! It’s me, Harley Quinn. I’ve got a brand-new collection coming your way from my incredible series, Harley Quinn (that’s easy to remember!) I know you bought those issues already, but since they’re bagged and slabbed, y’all need this edition to find out what’s happened to me! I was minding my own business, having a prank war with Two-Face, when some Lady Quark popped up and told me I was threatening reality everywhere. What?Anyway, Tini Howard (Catwoman) wrote up the details, and Sweeney Boo (Crush & Lobo) and Hayden Sherman (Batman/Superman: World’s Finest) drew them up really pretty with guests like Zatanna, Cap-tain Carrot, and of course, HIM (Batman, silly. Who else?), all helping me try to keep reality together. I just want to leave the Multiverse alone, do my community service, and adore my gal, Poison Ivy. And I’ll do ANYTHING to protect my Earth. Got it? Collects Harley Quinn #28-32 and Knight Terrors: Harley Quinn #1-2.

Sexy? Immeasurably! Superheroes? Countless! Comedy? Nigh infinite! Adam Warren''s Empowered takes the staid tropes of modern capes-and-tights fare and pummels them into "a fantastically rendered book on every conceivable level" (Comic Book Resources). And face-crackingly funny though it be, Empowered also delivers "genuinely affecting emotion" (Library Journal). You can at long last have your cake and eat it, too! Collects Empowered volumes 7, 8, and 9.

Sexy? Aye! Superhero? Affirmative! Comedy? Yea, verily! Adam Warren''s critically acclaimed Empowered shakes the foundations of the heavens as "one of the great modern superhero comics" (View From the Gutters) that''s "laugh-out-loud funny" (Comics Worth Reading) while remarkably generating "genuinely affecting emotion" (Library Journal). Might such a miraculous melange portend "a fantastically rendered book on every conceivable level" (Comic Book Resources)? Certainement! An astonishing 674 pages collecting Empowered volumes 4, 5, and 6.

Of course, it''s side-achingly funny. Sure, it''s eye-lovingly illustrated. But is it just possibly the best send-up of superheroes yet created? In a word...duh! Adam Warren''s Empowered rattles the capes-and-tights cage in a manner well-deserved for said enclosure, but That''s Not All, true believer. There is "genuinely affecting emotion" (Library Journal). And it''s for "real, live adults" (MTV Geek News). In fact, Empowered is "a fantastically rendered book on every conceivable level" (Comic Book Resources). Don''t be a coward, get Empowered! Collects Empowered volumes 1, 2, and 3.

In 1786, Guatemalan priest Pedro José de Arrese published a work instructing readers on their duty to perform the cesarean operation on the bodies of recently deceased pregnant women in order to extract the fetus while it was still alive. Although the fetus’s long-term survival was desired, the overarching goal was to cleanse the unborn child of original sin and ensure its place in heaven. Baptism Through Incision presents Arrese’s complete treatise—translated here into English for the first time—with a critical introduction and excerpts from related primary source texts. Inspired by priests’ writings published in Spain and Sicily beginning in the mid-eighteenth century, Arrese and writers like him in Peru, Mexico, Alta California, Guatemala, and the Philippines penned local medico-religious manuals and guides for performing the operation and baptism. Comparing these texts to one another and placing them in dialogue with archival cases and print culture references, this book traces the genealogy of the postmortem cesarean operation throughout the Spanish Empire and reconstructs the transatlantic circulation of obstetrical and scientific knowledge around childbirth and reproduction. In doing so, it shows that knowledge about cesarean operations and fetal baptism intersected with local beliefs and quickly became part of the new ideas and scientific-medical advancements circulating broadly among transatlantic Enlightenment cultures. A valuable resource for scholars and students of colonial Latin American history, the history of medicine, and the history of women, reproduction, and childbirth, Baptism Through Incision includes translated excerpts of works by Spanish surgeon Jaime Alcalá y Martínez, Mexican physician Ignacio Segura, and Peruvian friar Francisco González Laguna, as well as late colonial Guatemalan instructions, and newspaper articles published in the Gazeta de México, the Gazeta de Guatemala, and the Mercurio Peruano.

From comics overlord Adam Warren comes Empowered, the acclaimed sexy superhero comedy--except when it isn''t, as in this volume''s no-nonsense, wall-to-wall brawl guaranteed to bring tears to the eye and fists to the face!
