New in the Store: Sky in Stereo #2!

Sky in Stereo #2 picks up shortly after the incredible first issue left off, plunging the reader back into the tumultuous life of Iris, a teenage girl living in early 1990s Manchester. In this issue, Iris experiments with hallucinogens, pines over her crush, fights with her parents, and contemplates how she fits into the world. Also: David Bowie. This issue has a startling ending that will leave you anxious to find out what happens next. Mardou perfectly captures the feeling of being seventeen and at odds with everything; keep an eye out for her next installment of Sky in Stereo.

New in the Store: It's Snowing Down South and Retail Break #4!

We now have Andrice Arp's awesome grab bag of a zine, It's Snowing Down South. Featuring an ongoing minicomic, doodles and drawings, honest self-examinations, and drink recipes, this is a wry and funny collection that will give you a glimpse inside an artist's brain.

Retail Break #4 is a cringe-worthy look at customer service. Anyone who's worked retail or had to deal with ridiculous requests on the job will laugh (or groan) in recognition and commiseration. With an interesting blend of chunky cartoons and finely detailed drawings, Retail Break is a steal for only $1.00.

From Damien Jay, acclaimed creator of The Natural World, arrives Pocket Party #1. This mini-book is a strange, wonderful journey that features self-referential asides, sea monsters, and everything in between. Part sketchbook, part short story, Pocket Party is all entertainment.

Continuing Keenan M. Keller's bizarre series, Galactic Breakdown #3 and #4 kick the insanity up to new heights. If you like fighting, naked space ladies, and full-color craziness, don't miss these issues! #4 also includes an awesome guest artist gallery, featuring art from Jim Rugg, Pat Aulisio, and Tom Neely.
