    <![CDATA[<strong>THE EISNER AWARD-WINNING, NATIONALLY BEST-SELLING <em>MYTHOLOGY</em> IS HERE IN PAPERBACK, IN AN EXPANDED EDITION WITH 32 NEW PAGES.</strong><br/><br/><em>Mythology </em>returns, in a newly expanded paperback edition of the book <em>Entertainment Weekly</em> awarded a grade of A, saying: &#8220;Alex Ross brings to his work an unparalleled sense of the real. His heroes&#8211;both super and mortal&#8211;have weight; they exist in space, and that space is affected by them in ways never before seen on the page.&#8221; And so here they are, the incomparable cast of the DC Comics universe: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, the Green Lantern, and the rest of the Justice League as you&#8217;ve never seen them before. <em>Mythology</em> brings together the best loved comic characters in the world, brought to life by Alex Ross, one of the most astonishing young artists working in the medium today. The award-winning designer/writer Chip Kidd and photographer Geoff Spear have teamed up to create a book like no other, with an introduction by M. Night Shyamalan, the acclaimed director of <em>The Village</em> and <em>The Sixth Sense</em>.  <br/><br/>Ross has often been called the Norman Rockwell of comics, and this book reveals not only his lifelong love of these classic superheroes but also his vision: <em>Mythology</em> takes you into the studio for a behind-the-scenes look at his fascinating creative process. The combination of Ross&#8217;s dynamic art and Kidd&#8217;s kinetic design makes images from his most memorable stories&#8211;including Kingdom Come, Superman: Peace on Earth, Batman: War on Crime, and Uncle Sam&#8211;soar off the more than 300 pages. <br/><br/>The new material centers on Ross&#8217;s startling new comic book series, <em>Justice</em>, including sketches, preliminary art, prototype figures, and more. <em>Mythology</em> is a book in which every page explodes with the power of the icons it celebrates.]]>

    <![CDATA[It started out as just an exercise. Comic art painter extroardinnaire Alex Ross sketched out some ideas of what some of the greatest Marvel super heroes-Spider-Man, Captain America, the Incredible Hulk-would like in a grim possible future where a terrible experiment has left all ordinary humans with super powers. What would become of the heroes who had been set apart by their strange abilities, which now seemed so commonplace? Thus was born Earth X, one of the strangest and best selling Marvel projects in recent years. Ross' visionary ideas were fleshed out by some of the industries top talents, taking shape in a year-long epic that excited and thrilled comic fans everywhere, and spawned a second series to debut later this year.  <p> <p>In an outpost on the Moon, the robot known as X-51 must watch the dark events as they unfold on the Earth, relating them to the alien Watcher-charged with the responsibility of recording all events on Earth-who has now been rendered blind. We will encounter a Captain America whose cheerful idealism has been replaced by a tight-lipped life of vengeance against his foe the Red Skull; a Spider-Man who has given in to the excesses of middle age and is now no different than the average man, except in his memories; and Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four, the man responsible for the mutation of all humanity, and who in penance now locks himself in the armor of his defeated arch-nemesis, Dr. Doom. <p> <p>Dark in mood, yet hopeful in its themes of rebirth and redemption, Earth X is an epic tale told on a global tapestry, with humanity itself at stake.</p></p></p></p>]]>

The human torches aren't having the effect all had hoped and now new perils are emerging to threaten the wounded world. Will the remaining heroes be strong enough to stem the tide of evil? This volume reprints UNIVERSE X #0 through #7, as well as the spin-off features that spotlight the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man and Captain America!]]>

    <![CDATA[From the dawn of the 20th Century came a new chapter in mankind's history, unleashed during a time of great war and destruction. It was the beginning of the Age of the Superpowers, yet with the closing of the Second World War, this new spark seemingly flickered and died. Now, the story can be told of the great lost Superpowers - men and women with incredible abilities who changed the course of mankind forever, and who had been thought lost...until now... Showcasing the work of Alex Ross, Jim Krueger, Stephen Sadowski, Doug Klauba, and Carlos Paul, this hardcover collects the first story arc (issues #0-7), and features behind-the-scenes sketches, character designs, and a complete cover gallery by Alex Ross, Michael Turner, and more!]]>

    <![CDATA[The original Invaders (Captain America, Bucky, Human Torch, Toro, and the Sub-Mariner) return, courtesy of the award-winning team behind Earth X, Justice, and Project: Superpowers! The greatest super-team of World War II finds itself transported from the battlefields of the Second World War to a future they never imagined! Now, the Invaders must face two teams of Avengers who want desperately to believe these heroes are who they say they are, while Tony Stark confronts his greatest challenge since the Civil War as he must deal with the &quot;return&quot; of Steve Rogers. Confronted by a world they barely recognize, the Invaders will have to show Earth's Mightiest Heroes just what kind of power, courage, and sheer determination it took to defeat the forces of unrelenting evil in the twentieth century. In fact, they may just have to do it again in the twenty-first! Collects Avengers/Invaders #1-4.]]>

    <![CDATA[Comic book universes are populated by colorful characters that possess fantastic powers.<br/><br/>But on September 11th, 2001, an untold number of real men and women amazed the world with their phenomenal acts of bravery.<br/><br/>When others ran away, they charged forward. When others reached out for safety, they offered a helping hand. When others cried out, they responded with a soothing voice.<br/><br/>And, tragically, many of them died... but in doing so taught us all how to live. They can't stick to walls. They can't summon thunder. They can't fly. They're just HEROES. ]]>

    <![CDATA[Did Alaska create the music of John Luther Adams, or did the music create his Alaska? For the past thirty years, the vastness of Alaska has swept through the distant reaches of the composer's imagination and every corner of his compositions. In this new book Adams proposes an ideal of musical ecology, the philosophical foundation on which his largest, most complex musical work is based. This installation, also called The Place Where You Go to Listen, is a sound and light environment that gives voice to the cycles of sunlight and darkness, the phases of the moon, the seismic rhythms of the earth, and the dance of the aurora borealis. Adams describes this work as &quot;a place for hearing the unheard music of the world around us.&quot; The book includes two seminal essays, the composer's journal telling the story of the day-to-day emergence of The Place, as well as musical notations, graphs and illustrations of geophysical phenomena.]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>From the sensational, award-winning artist of the bestselling <em>Mythology</em>: his never-before-seen DC Comics sketchbook. <br/><br/></strong>Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the stunning black-and-white drawings of the DC characters you loved from <em>Mythology</em>: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Black Canary, and many more. All of Alex Ross’s extraordinary, hyper-realistic paintings start as pencil on paper, and some of them never get beyond that stage. None of these hundreds of graphite sketches has ever been published before, and most of them will make their only published appearance in <em>Rough Justice</em>. <br/><br/>In 2008 Ross became the first cover artist in DC history to work simultaneously on the monthly Superman and Batman titles. All of the designs he created for an entire year–even those that did not make the final cut–are included here. And in an interview with Chip Kidd, Ross reveals his process and how these drawings translate into the finished paintings. <br/><br/><em>Rough Justice </em>reveals the brilliance and brawn of Alex Ross’s draftsmanship: the foundation of his dazzling images.]]>

    <![CDATA[Among the most engaging genres of scholarly literature, art history and architecture history publications appeal to the eye as well as the intellect. In the late 20th century the literature of art history has been documented by two standard reference bibliographies published by the American Library Association: Mary Chamberlin's Guide to Art Reference Books (ALA 1959), and Guide to the Literature of Art History by Etta Arntzen and Robert Rainwater (ALA Editions, 1980). Now, a new supplementary volume, Guide to the Literature of Art History 2 (ALA Editions, 2004) has arrived to record and annotate the best art and architecture books and journals published worldwide in the last two decades of the 20th century. The main intent of Guide to the Literature of Art History (GLAH) 2 is to supplement its predecessor by recording important publications produced primarily in western languages. Adopting the chapter and numbering system of the first volume, GLAH 2 will help art scholars keep abreast of more recent publications in art and architectural history.  An expert team of 24 contributors has come together with editors Max Marmor and Alex Ross to produce this significant work, featuring new titles, volumes, editions, and reprints, while providing ample cross referencing to GLAH 1. In addition, two brand new chapters have been added, Patronage &amp; Collecting, and Cultural Heritage, which covers the literature of art preservation and art law. Librarians and scholars will welcome the new collection development information, including: The best electronic art and architectural history sources. Cumulative 40-year bibliography of art history literature, with GLAH 1. Critical selection of nearly all literature in art history, primarily in Western European languages, since 1977. Resources for art historians outside their areas of specialization. Helping to reestablish bibliographical control of significant art and architectural literature for the last two decades of the 20th century, Guide to the Literature of Art History 2 is the authoritative, must-have resource for all art history students, institutions, and agencies.]]>

    <![CDATA[ Was Alex Ross in die Hände nimmt, wird momentan nicht nur in den USA, sondern mittlerweile auch überall sonst auf der Welt zu Gold. Die Verlage reißen sich darum, Material aus seiner Feder zu veröffentlichen. Seit Alex Ross 1993 mit seiner Story <em>Marvels</em> für neue Maßstäbe in der Welt der Superhelden sorgte, ist sein Aufstieg und Erfolg geradezu kometenhaft. Es folgten Meisterwerke wie <em>Kingdom Come</em> bei DC und <em>Uncle Sam</em> bei Vertigo. Im letzten Jahr erschien dann bei Carlsen auf Deutsch der Titel <em>Superman - Friede auf Erden</em>, eine Mischung aus Bilderbuch und Comic.<p>  Diese Darstellungsform wird den gemäldehaften Illustrationen von Alex Ross am ehesten gerecht und so war es nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis DC und Ross einen weiteren wichtigen Helden aus ihrem Universum ins Rennen schicken: Batman den düsteren Rächer aus Gotham City. Die Story stammt, wie schon die des erwähnten Superman-Albums aus der Feder von Paul Dini. Auch der ist vielen Fans schon bekannt durch seine Mitarbeit an der äußerst erfolgreichen Zeichentrick-Fernsehserie <em>Batman Adventures</em> und, jetzt aktuell, <em>Batman Beyond</em>.<p>  Doch jetzt zum Inhalt von <em>Batman - Krieg dem Verbrechen</em>: Bei einem seiner nächtlichen Streifzüge durch das düstere Gotham City kann Batman alias Bruce Wayne einen Raubüberfall nicht verhindern. Es gibt mehrere Tote. Der kleine Junge Marcus verliert dabei seine Eltern. Für Batman ein überraschendes Deja-vu-Erlebnis, erging es ihm doch in seiner Kindheit ähnlich. Auch seine Eltern wurden Opfer eines Raubüberfalls. Damals schwor sich der junge Bruce, sein Leben zukünftig der Bekämpfung des Verbrechens zu widmen. Mit seinem Vermögen, einer guten Schulausbildung und eisenhartem Training entwickelte er im Laufe des Jahres seine zweite Identität Batman, der fortan überwiegend nachts im Dschungel der Großstadt für Recht und Ordnung sorgen sollte.<p>  Dem Jungen Marcus scheint es jedoch nicht zu gelingen, sein Leben fortan selbst in den Griff zu bekommen. Alleine auf sich gestellt, gerät er langsam tief in den Strudel der Kriminalität. Kann Batman ihm helfen, auf den rechten Weg zurückzufinden?<p>  Das Album erscheint regulär als Softcover, doch wie schon bei <em>Superman - Friede auf Erden</em>, gibt es auch eine limitierte Luxusausgabe als Hardcover. Eine lohnenswerte Investition für alle Liebhaber und Sammler! <em>--Stefan Schätz</em></p></p></p></p>]]>
