How I Spent the Apocalypse

Selina Rosen
I TOLD YOU SO These are the words that Katy longs to scream over and over at what's left of the population after the apocalypse she'd been telling anyone who would listen was coming. Now it's here and she's set up to become the new king of the world and everything would be perfect... If her stupid sons hadn't decided she was as crazy as everyone else thought she was and moved away from the safety of their mother's bunker into the city and if the very reporter who had made her name synonymous with crack pot didn't wind up pounding on her door as the world around them blew away. YES THE END OF THE WORLD CAN BE FUNNY (If you're ten feet underground with 50 years of supplies)

Voyage to the deep

Glanzman, Sam
Dive to Dangerous Depths with Proteus , the Atomic Super-Sub! In the early 1960s, Dell Comics was inspired by the success of the hit movie Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and they recruited legendary comics artist Sam Glanzman--himself a Navy veteran of WWII--to draw Voyage to the Deep , a thrilling adventure series set in the deepest trenches of our planet's oceans and starring the hapless crew of nuclear submarine S.S.N. Proteus . Set during the height of the Cold War and replete with giant monsters, earth-threatening disasters, and even an "anti-matter generator" menacing all life on earth, the short-lived title was more than a disaster movie knock-off. It was also the perfect vehicle for Glanzman's action-packed artistry. For the first time ever, VOYAGE OF THE DEEP gathers all four issues of the hugely entertaining (albeit short-lived) series, fully restored in glorious color and accompanied by a historical essay by Stephen R. Bissette and personal afterword by this compilation's cover artist, Rufus Dayglo.

Doors into chaos

Greenberger, Robert
Left behind by a long-vanished civilisation, the mysterious portals known as the Gateways can enable spacefarers to reach the very furthest corners of the galaxy. Their discovery opens the door to a whole new era of exploration...and who knows what may be on the other side? More than 200,000 years have passed since the Iconians first created the network of interdimensional gateways across the stars. Known to those who came after them as 'the Demons of Air and Darkness', the Iconians vanished from time and space millennia ago -- or did they? Summoned to an emergency briefing at Starfleet Headquarters, Captain Jean-Luc Picard is stunned to discover that the legendary Iconians have returned at last, and are offering to sell the secrets of their long-lost technology to the Federation. To prove their sincerity, they have reactivated their dormant gateways...but the result has been conflict and chaos throughout the Alpha Quadrant. Warring Klingons and Romulans are among the hazards Picard and his crew must contend with as they seek to discover the sinister truth behind the Iconians' mysterious return.

A time to love
