Alice Obiefune was at her lowest ebb when the Doctor burst into her life; she'd lost her mother, her job, and her apartment.

From tackling an alien pet in the streets of London, to exposing a devilish mystery in the 1930s Bayou; from discovering the truth behind an austerity-hit pleasure planet to facing a shapeshifting horror in a scientific research station — every day with the Doctor brings a new, impossible, life-threatening experience!

DOCTOR WHO: THE TWELFTH DOCTOR #3
(W) Robbie Morrison (A) Dave Taylor
"The Swords of Kali," Part 1 (of 3). In the distant past, the land that would be India played host to a war between ancient aliens, whose cross-temporal battles contributed to the country's rich myths and legends. Kali, oldest and deadliest of these creatures, was thought defeated long, long ago; her body scattered throughout time to prevent her return. But her psychic essence could not be killed, nor her millennia-long quest for vengeance. Now, in the 23rd Century, she is on the brink of resurrection. And with India at the forefront of human spaceflight, it's not only Earth that falls to her predations if she succeeds -– but the whole cosmos! In a race against time and across it, the Doctor and Clara must gather secrets, intelligence and allies from across India's past, present and future if they are to survive! (STK654183)

MONO #1
(W) Liam Sharp (A/CA) Ben Wolstenholme
"From the Boer War, through the First and Second World War, the Cold War and beyond, Mono was there...where no one else could go..." The ape-human hybrid secret agent and Queen's assassin, possessed of a deadly prehensile tail and "the strength of twelve men," made his debut in the pulps of the 1930s and enjoyed a brief revival in the late 1960s and 70s. But can it be that the fiction is closer to historic fact than was ever previously guessed? Now a series of tales, told in hand-written journals and reported first-hand by those that knew him, reveal Mono as a dual-natured and conflicted adventurer — savage and noble; civilized, but ultimately untamable.

MARVEL COMICS IN THE 1980S SC
TwoMorrows Publishing presents Marvel Comics in the 1980s, the third volume in Pierre Comtois’ heralded series, which covers Marvel’s final historical phase. The 1980s saw Stan Lee's retreat to the West Coast, Jim Shooter's rise and fall as editor-in-chief, the twin triumphs of Frank Miller and John Byrne, the challenge of independent publishers, and the weakening hold of the Comics Code Authority that led to the company's creative downfall. Comics such as the Chris Claremont/John Byrne X-Men, Frank Miller's Daredevil, the new wave of dark heroes such as Wolverine and the Punisher, and more are all covered, in analytic detail and often irreverent manner. The 1980s represented years of upheaval in the comics industry, so expect a bumpy ride in the 1980s decade that marked the beginning of the end of Marvel Comics as you knew them! (STK654289)
