The cybernetically enhanced vigilante known as Mother Panic has been transported forward in time--but the near-future Gotham in which she finds herself has changed beyond all recognition! In this new reality, Batman disappeared years ago. Madame Gala and her sinister Collective now rule the city, creating masked heroes and villains as living art projects. Under the Collective's high-tech tyranny, unsanctioned costumed crusaders face a lethal zero-tolerance policy, which poses a problem for Mother Panic as well as her kid sidekick Fennec Fox--not to mention all the Jokers and Robins who are warring for Gotham's soul. To rescue her mother and defeat the brutal Collective, Violet Paige will have to navigate a city whose streets and power players are now a warped reflection of the ones she knows so well. But can Mother Panic master this fallen world's twisted topology quickly enough to redeem Gotham City's future? Find out in Mother Panic: Gotham A.D., a shocking new chapter in the ongoing chronicles of Gotham's White Witch from acclaimed talents Jody Houser (Stranger Things), Ibrahim Moustafa (Doctor Fate) and DC's Young Animal mastermind Gerard Way!

Renowned journalist Nell Frizzell explores what happens when a woman begins to ask herself: should I have a baby? We have descriptors for many periods of life—adolescence, menopause, mid-life crisis, quarter-life crisis—but there is a period of profound change that many women face, often in their late twenties to early forties, that does not yet have a name. Nell Frizzell is calling this period of flux “the panic years,” and it is often characterized by a preoccupation with one major question: should I have a baby? And from there—do I want a baby? With whom should I have a baby? How will I know when I’m ready? Decisions made during this period suddenly take on more weight, as questions of love, career, friendship, fertility, and family clash together while peers begin the process of coupling and breeding. But this very important process is rarely written or talked about beyond the clichés of the “ticking clock.” Enter Frizzell, our comforting guide, who uses personal stories from her own experiences in the panic years to illuminate the larger social and cultural trends, and gives voice to the uncertainty, confusion, and urgency that tends to characterize this time of life. Frizzell reminds us that we are not alone in this, and encourages us to share our experiences and those of the women around us—as she does with honesty and vulnerability in these pages. Raw and hilarious, The Panic Years is an arm around the shoulder for every woman trying to navigate life’s big decisions against the backdrop of the mother of all questions.

“Hunt the Batman” continues as Punchline prowls Gotham searching for the one thing she needs before leaving the city forever! The only person standing in her way is a revenge-fueled Harley Quinn! And just when things couldn’t get any worse, the brand-new hero Hunter Panic comes for them both!

New mom Judy Morris, and Beth Iovinelli, labor nurse and lactation consultant, help women enjoy a happy, healthy pregnancy and first year with advice on everything from whether or not hair dye is dangerous for an unborn child (certain techniques are better than others) to whether or not you can spoil an infant (in a word, no). Anecdotes from moms everywhere add a chorus of terrific, tried-and-true suggestions, including: . What to pack in a hospital bag (not last year's jeans). . What to do if breastfeeding is tougher than you thought it would be (don't be shy, call for help). . Where to store baby's toiletries (an empty shoe organizer offers pockets for everything from cream to nail clippers). In this day and age, pregnant and new moms can feel isolated from their peers. The DON'T PANIa PREGNANCY BOOK is better than your best friend and your mother rolled into one . . . it's never busy, and it will never drive you crazy!

Comic books are high art. They–and their graphic novel counterparts–harken back to classic literature and artworks. Through a series of essays, the authors will illustrate that modern pop culture characters are direct descendants of classic works of literature and their visual depiction is inspired by the works of master artists. Join us as we peel back layers to discover gothic influences, representations of badass females, uses of the mask, and the new look of Rappaccini’s Daughter as well as discuss teaching comics in college, Black identity and power, mythological and religious tie-ins, and many more correlations hidden within the pages of action-packed heroes and villains. The essayists in this collection are, first and foremost, comic book fans with extensive backgrounds in art, film, education, literature, and writing. Comics Lit Vol. 1 contains essays by Alyson Shelton, Eric Lee, Kelly Gaines, Seth Singleton, AA McCartney, Heath Fodor, A.R. Farina, Tonya Todd, and Anthony D. Holt Jr. Foreword by Bryan Edward Hill.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques or "tapping") is used by an estimated 10 million people worldwide. Yet a lack of standardization has led to a field in which dozens of forms of EFT, with varying degrees of fidelity to the original, can be found. This led to the establishment of Clinical EFT, the form of EFT taught in the original EFT Manual and associated materials, and validated in over 20 clinical trials. In this volume, the most noted scholars, researchers and clinicians in the field compile a definitive outline of the EFT protocol, as it is applied in medicine, psychiatry, psychotherapy, and life coaching. This first volume covers • Biomedical and Physics Principles • Psychological Trauma • Fundamental Techniques of Clinical EFT. This series of handbooks is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand EFT as validated in research, science, and best clinical practice.
