From the Eisner Award-winning team behind The Private Eye, BARRIER is a shockingly prescient drama about violence, language, and illegal immigration...with a spectacular sci-fi twist.

"Provocative and challenging, this work rewards patient readers and will make a good addition to graphic novel collections interested in socially engaged, formally inventive storytelling." --Library Journal (Starred Review)

When Texas rancher Liddy and Honduran immigrant Óscar collide on the U.S.-Mexico border, neither can understand the other's words--but both are forced to rely on trust when they're thrust into an unimaginable encounter. Told in English and Spanish without translation, Barrier is a visually stunning, genre-bending story that explores the walls we build between nations, cultures, and each other.

Collected for the first time in its original "widescreen" format--and perfectly complementing Image's new softcover edition of THE PRIVATE EYE--this gorgeous new edition contains the entire Harvey Award-winning miniseries.

This bestselling legal thriller follows the charismatic defense attorney, Mickey Haller, as he takes on a slam-dunk court case involving a Beverly Hills playboy--but as it spirals into a nightmare, he finds himself in a fight for his life. Inspiration for the #1 Netflix series The Lincoln Lawyer.

Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers--they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence, it's about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it's even about justice.

A Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years. It is a defense attorney's dream, what they call a franchise case. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career. Then someone close to him is murdered and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame. To escape without being burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal--this time to save his own life.

This collection of twenty-seven short stories is sure to intrigue as well as entice! Find out just how far some will go for love...

Mukohda finally has a place to call home.

Rosenthal's aptly named "meat dungeon" is sure to be the perfect destination for a pack of carnivores and their hapless keeper, but it's far from the only adventure in store for Mukohda, whether he likes it or not! New friends, long-lost treasure hoards, and even an ancient tablet with a shockingly improbable connection to Mukoda's past all await!

Button Poetry is thrilled to re-release Rachel Camacho's critically-acclaimed debut Pink Elephant.
Pink Elephant is a song of survival, gritty and honest, brutal and beautiful. Camacho's entrancing storytelling and rich language are hypnotic-refusing to let the reader look away. The collection dissects a coming-of-age within an abusive home, the recovery from that trauma, and what building a family looks like in the aftermath.
Dark but edged with humor, Pink Elephant still embraces love through its troubles. If you haven't read it yet (or need an excuse to read it again), you have to pick up this newest edition!

When ex-Navy SEAL Salam "Fade" al-Fayed wakes from a coma in a prison hospital, a shadowy organization offers him the only way out--through a high-stakes military mission. An electrifying international political espionage thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kyle Mills.

"Wall to wall action. Great book," as recommended by bestselling thriller author Brad Thor on Today.

"Fade is a badass operator whom even a coma can't stop. . . . Plenty of action, plenty of fun." --Kirkus Reviews

When ex-Navy SEAL Salam "Fade" al-Fayed steps in front of a sniper's bullet, he assumes that he's reached the end of the road--his death wish has finally been answered.

Instead, he wakes in a hospital. As one of the deadliest operatives in U.S. history, he's now incapable of even standing without assistance. Alone and wanted by authorities, he's destined to spend the rest of his life lying in a prison infirmary.

So when a shadowy organization offers him a new identity and next-generation medical care, he has no choice but to agree. Nothing's free, though. After a grueling rehabilitation, he's drafted into an elite paramilitary unit equipped with cutting-edge military technology. But who's in charge?

A dire threat soon provides the answer: a highly contagious pathogen explodes out of China, and a select group of the world's wealthiest and most powerful people decide that governments are no longer capable of controlling the chaos erupting around the globe. It's a power grab by billionaires who've decided that it's their time to rule.

With panic rising worldwide, the leaders of both democracies and dictatorships prove equally willing to destroy anything and anyone to save themselves. Forced into action before he's fully ready, Fade finds himself at the sharp end of a mission to stop a menace unlike any he's faced before. If he fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. But what if he succeeds?

No one elected the people he's working for. And God sure as hell didn't ordain them. Has he signed on to save the human race . . . or to help quietly enslave it?

Fade In tackles the complex threats of international espionage, power imbalances, and global terrorism-and introduces a character destined to take his place among legends like Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, Lee Child's Jack Reacher, and Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon. "The prose snaps and hums. . . Fade In is a gripping, violent, and often heartbreaking book. It's for readers who like their thrillers with a sharp philosophical bite." --Literary Titan

Kyle Mills is the author of nine New York Times bestselling Vince Flynn novels featuring Mitch Rapp.

A captured princess just wants a good night's sleep! Shhh...

Kidnapped by the Demon King and imprisoned in his castle, Princess Syalis is...bored.

The fun and the nightmares continue as the plague of dreams that become reality continues to spread! But whether it's facing down the boss of a dungeon (who's also your dad), accidentally unleashing another round of (even more widespread) gender-bending, needing to shop at the (really expensive) supermarket, or just having all your friends (from work) bail on you, no nightmare can prepare the Demon Army for the terror that is the accidental arrival of the hero Dawner straight into the heart of the castle!

Station Eleven meets Leave the World Behind in this family drama at the end of the world about a crumbling household's attempts to find their way back to each other amidst a cataclysmic event.

"Our father had imagined the end of the world so often that, for a while, he believed that he summoned it."

The Minton family is in crisis. After losing his job, Marcus begins stockpiling cans, running evacuation drills and digging a doomsday bunker in the back garden. At the same time, his daughters are unravelling in their own ways - Chantale is being haunted by dreams of disaster, and Briar's obsession with a missing classmate draws her deeper into the seductive world of a UFO cult. Meanwhile, no one is aware of the diagnosis their mother has been trying to keep hidden.

When, on the morning of the eldest daughter's wedding, an extinction-level event tears the world apart, the Mintons must fight their way through a devastated city--back to safety, survival, and each other.

Now, Mac wants a second chance. But Penny isn't making it easy, and maybe that's exactly what he needs. Because this time, charm won't cut it. If he wants her back, he'll have to prove it with effort, with honesty, and maybe even on his knees.

Leslie Woodhouse's most exciting days should be behind her. In a past life, she was a defense attorney with a reputation for finding loopholes in high-profile cases. Now, she's enjoying a modest retirement in Florida in a seaside condo with her mild-mannered husband, Robert.

An eight-year-old girl has seen his face and lived.

To Leslie, the murderer is little more than a morbid fascination--until she comes home to flashing police lights. Robert is arrested, accused of being the Gulf Coast Killer. Leslie is convinced of his innocence, and despite warnings not to represent her husband, she starts work on his defense. But as she unravels the facts, she can't shake the unanswered questions. What was Robert's DNA doing at the scene of the crime? And if she's right to defend Robert, then who is the real Gulf Coast Killer, and why is he framing her husband?

But will Xin be able to find someone within the kingdom of Qin who can help him face off against Lü Buwei when his enemy controls most of the kingdom already?

In a land where glamorous knights compete in showy tournaments for fame and fortune, George wants to be the best. Being small and untrained means no knight will give her a coveted spot as their squire, but George won't give up on her dreams so easily.

Serafina is the best knight around, no question. She's so good that she's getting bored and reckless in her jousts. It doesn't help that everyone is mesmerized by Aethelberg, her sparkling rival, who is much better at playing to the crowd, while Serafina would rather keep to herself and practice her swordplay. When Serafina's wife and patroness insists on her taking plucky George as a squire, Serafina suddenly finds herself in the position she never wanted--a mentor. Their partnership is going to be even harder than it looks, considering George can barely hold a sword without giving herself a black eye and Serafina is even pricklier than the lance she wields. But if either of them are going to take the league of knights by storm, they'll have to learn that neither of them can do it alone.

In her author-illustrator debut, step into Fiona Marchbank's (Fairest Of All: A Villains Graphic Novel, Of Her Own Design) colorful, medieval world for fans of Squire and Ella Enchanted and follow George on a quest to be the greatest knight in all the land . . .
