New Anime novels to look for.

THE NEW YORK FOUR

Written by Brian Wood; Art and cover by Ryan Kelly

A new Minx graphic novel from acclaimed writer Brian Wood (DEMO, DMZ)! Just starting her freshman year at NYU, Riley is about to find out what an adventure — and a mystery — living in New York City can be.

The ultimate insider's guide to NYC is seen through the eyes of Brooklyn-born Riley. Raised by stuffy, literati parents, Riley's a shy, straight-A student who convinces three other NYU brainiacs to join a research group for fast cash.

BURNOUT

Written by Rebecca Donner; Art and Cover by Inaki Miranda

When Danni and her mom move in with her mom's alcoholic boyfriend, Danni develops a fierce crush on Haskell, her soon-to-be stepbrother, who's a hardcore environmentalist. Desperate and confused, Danni wrestles with what she's willing to sacrifice as she confronts first love, family secrets and the politics of ecoterrorism set against the lush backdrop of the Pacific Northwest. 

Rebecca Donner is the author of the critically acclaimed novel, Sunset Terrace. She lives in New York, and is currently working on her third novel.

Artist Inaki Miranda's beautifully detailed illustrations have appeared in the multiple Eisner Award-winner FABLES and in 2000AD.

CLUBBING

Written by Andi Watson; Art and Cover by Josh Howard

CLUBBING is written by the Eisner- and Harvey-nominated indie sensation Andi Watson (Geisha, Paris, Skeleton Key) and illustrated by Josh Howard (Dead @ 17), Wizard magazine's pick as the #1 independent book to watch in 2005. 

The crime: Getting caught with a fake I.D. at an extravagant West End nightclub. The punishment: Spending the summer at her Grandparent's stuffy country club. But Charlotte "Lottie" Brook, best known for her mile-high platforms, an endless i-tunes account and an unbridled passion for classic lit, will end up doing more than just serving time in country boot camp. Lottie will narrowly escape romance and end up solving a murder mystery on the 19th hole of her Grandparents' golf course.

This book also includes Lottie's Lexicon, a special dictionary feature that translates British slang to fluent American.
