"Fast, brutal, and more than a little sexy." (-Nerdist) From Matteo Pizzolo (CALEXIT) and Anna Wieszczyk, the comic that Zac Thompson said "pushed me further than I've ever been pushed” returns to ratchet up the chaos, spitting punk rock fury, thundering into your eyeballs and running roughshod across your brains with its often mindbending, sometimes horrifying, always clever & devious tale of sci-fi magic, apocalyptic sex, and subversive mindbombs. "A singular vision full of fresh elegant brutality and dark humor, it’s like some genius commissioned Chuck Palahniuk, Terry Gilliam, and Aleister Crowley to reinvent dystopia fiction." - Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead (filmmakers Synchronic, The Endless, Moon Knight on Disney+) "The embodiment of what Black Mask is all about as a publisher: Bold, visceral storytelling unconcerned with being pinned down in one genre or category." (-SYFY Wire)

Leo Strauss on Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Although Leo Strauss published little on Nietzsche, his lectures and correspondence demonstrate a deep critical engagement with Nietzsche’s thought. One of the richest contributions is a seminar on Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, taught in 1959 during Strauss’s tenure at the University of Chicago. In the lectures, Strauss draws important parallels between Nietzsche’s most important project and his own ongoing efforts to restore classical political philosophy. With Leo Strauss on Nietzsche’s “Thus Spoke Zarathustra,” eminent Strauss scholar Richard L. Velkley presents Strauss’s lectures on Zarathustra with superb annotations that bring context and clarity to the critical role played by Nietzsche in shaping Strauss’s thought. In addition to the broad relationship between Nietzsche and political philosophy, Strauss adeptly guides readers through Heidegger’s confrontations with Nietzsche, laying out Heidegger’s critique of Nietzsche’s “will to power” while also showing how Heidegger can be read as a foil for his own reading of Nietzsche. The lectures also shed light on the relationship between Heidegger and Strauss, as both philosophers saw Nietzsche as a central figure for understanding the crisis of philosophy and Western civilization. Strauss’s reading of Nietzsche is one of the important—yet little appreciated—philosophical inquiries of the past century, both an original interpretation of Nietzsche’s thought and a deep engagement with the core problems that modernity posed for political philosophy. It will be welcomed by anyone interested in the work of either philosopher.

"A lot of people claim to be on the cutting edge. Pizzolo actually is." - Steve Niles (30 Days Of Night) What if "The Smoking Man" from X-Files was a real person, and his daughter found out what he did for a living? The daughter of an assassinated globalist kingpin breaks out of an internment camp and leads her fellow escaped prisoners in a battle against an elitist conspiracy of shadow governments, megabanks, and military juntas in this edgy and subversive thriller that channels Fight Club by way of Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. A graphic novel that fearlessly assaults politics-as-usual, Young Terrorists continues the legacy of DMZ and The Invisibles as it manically rips the scab off life under the new world order and revels in the pus underneath.

The Gods have gotten old; the chaos is winning. The only hope for the people remains in founding a God of reason to bring order. And that requires the death of the old Gods of faith. Who will kill the old Gods? Who will stake the entire world in the pursuit of reason?Who will be the Godkiller?After years of darkness, an island of logic was born within the sea of chaos. It was Civilization. So far we have just survived and weathered the assaults of the unenlightened hordes that surround us. The unenlightened ones tried to wipe us out, but we are the light! How mighty can the dark before us be? Now, we have grown, from children we have become men, now Civilization is strong and powerful. Now we must finally realize our cause! It is the only way for our savage brethren to see the light; it is the only way to alleviate their suffering and ignorance. It is the only way for order to win over the chaos. All who oppose us, stand with chaos and must be eliminated! On the peripheries of Civilization live a people used to hardships and pain. We are the chosen people of the Elements, we are the Nation. It is from us that these fools of Civilization descend. They are too weak to live in the rules of nature and so they cower behind their city walls practicing their weak magic. The law of nature and elements is supreme. These robed fools think they can imagine a better one? So far they have shied away and so have been saved. But now, the piglet becomes a boar and feels it must rouse the ire of the Nation to prove itself. Fine then, we have not feasted on pig for a while! We have etched our place in this world with the iron of our swords. Your Civilization calls to us with its abundance of riches and its many learned people. Now is the time to strike, before you become any stronger. Old wise eyes regard both these peoples silently. Separated from these peoples by forests and impenetrable woodlands live the most ancient people of them all, the Tribes. All people descend from these old ones, though the children seem to have forgotten who the parents are. The children learn to forge weapons in fire and think they are superior to us, the old ones? The children come in funny clothes, wearing smells that announce them before they can be seen, and they tell us that they are progress? Because they eat with metal and we with hands we are wrong and they are right? The arrogance of the young, to come and tell us that the land we live on is theirs because a paper says so? But we wait. Like so many before them, these children too think they are the chosen ones. They think that their arrogance will save them whereas that will eat them alive. And then, we the Chosen people shall inherit again that which always was ours. All the mortals cannot see what they are fighting for. I know truths everyone else is blind to, even the Gods. We are one people. We always have been. But people have to fool themselves to believe they are unique, they are different. The truth is we are all Tribe, Nation and indeed Civilization. Mortals belong to them all, and there is no exception. But change demands the demarcation of three. They cannot see how linked they are to each other, how necessary they are to each other. So they fight, shout and howl, simply to give meaning to their lives. And I cannot begrudge them that. Why waste time and resources trying to save what could never be lost to try and preserve that which needs no preserving? They just don't see what they are a part of. I can, and so I can steer them, like great giant beasts in need of a guide. I am that Shepherd. I am their salvation...I am the Godkiller.

Weapon UwU - who'd expect us to be a team of deadly mutant assassins with a name like that? The Team: - a trans boy ready for his glow-up into a leading man - an undead sweetheart with a bellyful of acid - a furious firebreathing girl - a hive mind of very polite spiders - an over-it aroace woman who knows how scared you are of her - a group of increasingly unhinged clones The Misson: To cross into a parallel universe and kill a mutant as powerful as a god, then clean up any mess The Complications: Okay so yikes this has spiralled out of control and now there may be some other terrifying new threats to deal with! We're on it though, I promise. Weapon UwU! "The Cute Mutants series somehow managed to mutate my jet black heart into a pink sparkling emoji. Readers will come for the quirky superpowers and electric world that SJ has created, but they will stay for the characters. Amongst the killer fight scenes and nail-biting tension is a poignant and tender story of friendship, belonging, being accepted, and most of all loved exactly as you are. Pronouns, foul-mouth words, talking pillows and all." - Melody Robinette, YA fantasy author "Cute Mutants is a wild electric joyride from start to finish - burning dumpster gifs and all. SJ Whitby writes the superhero genre at its best, with thrilling, vivid fight scenes, voice-y high school angst, and queer found family that grabs you by the throat. Armed with grit, guts, and a baseball bat, Dylan Taylor is the fierce, sharp-witted protagonist of my dreams. When she wakes up with superpowers after kissing a girl at a party, Dylan trades her backpack and textbooks for a fierce mutant squad of her own - where every day's a battle and survival isn't guaranteed. This series is a queer, rainbow-glitter explosion of subverted tropes and fast-paced action that leaps from the page straight into your heart." - Jenna Voris, author of MADE OF STARS
