The Picks:

Tentacle Kitty Tales Around The Teacup TP – Dark Horse Comics brings the convention sensation to life in this first graphic novel. Escaping from an alternate dimension, Tentacle Kitty, aka “the Pink One,” and her friends Clocksworth, Pirate, Ninja, and Violet, a human girl, relax for a moment over tea. They delight each other with tales of action and adventure as Tentacle Kitty tells of her adventure hunting down the elusive green cotton candy mice. TK and Violet attend a comic convention, only to be surrounded by zombies, and Pirate Kitty tells an epic sea tale of monstrous foes and island marooning. Readers of all ages will enjoy the antics of this dimension-hopping group!

Mapmakers Volume 1 Mapmakers And The Lost Magic GN – Random House Graphic introduces a young girl with an impossible choice in this new graphic novel series. Alidade, while on the run from the Night Coats, the group that holds an iron grip over her home, the Valley, stumbles upon a secret door. For centuries, the Mapmakes kept peace in the Valley, but when they disappeared, the Night Coats took over, using rules, punishments, and consequences to hold power. But when Alidade finds the magical hideaway that belonged to the Mapmakers, she finds a map of her home and accidentally brings to life Blue, a magical creature called a memri, a protector of the valley. She must now make a choice to help Blue find the Mapmakers and save the valley from the Night Coats, or run away from her beloved valley. This first volume is filled with thrills and adventure, appealing to readers of all ages.
