Trollhunters 1 Trollhunters The Secret History Of Trollkind TP – Dark Horse Comics explores the world of Trollhunters. Teenage Jim Lake Jr. became the new Trollhunter by accident, but he accepted his new role as protector of the trolls from their ancient enemy the Gumm-Gumms. Among the crucial tools a new Trollhunter needs is to learn the secrets of the troll and the great troll warriors of the past. He starts with the battles of Kanjigar the Courageous, who through his own struggles, triumphs, and failures lead the trolls after the Battle of Killahead Bridge through unknown territory, across oceans and continents, and past fearsome foes. This first graphic novel is written by Trollhunter series writer and executive producer Mark Guggenheim and How to Train Your Dragon comics writer Richard Hamilton. Expect a volume filled with fun and adventure.

Cucumber Quest 2Cucumber Quest Volume 2 The Ripple Kingdom GN – First Second releases the second volume in the pun-tastic adventure of bunny siblings trying to save the world from destruction. Cucumber continues his journey to retrieve the Dream Sword, where he is attacked by the Splashmaster, sending him to the Ripple Kingdom. He meets the kingdom’s Princess Nautilus, and together they go in search of Almond and Sir Carrot, who, while attempting to escape the Splashmaster, end up running into the Knightmare Knight. The trio must reunite if they hope to defeat the Splashmaster. Continuing the adaptation of the webcomic of the same name, Cucumber Quest keeps the clever, adorable, and hilarious adventure going.
