Spider-Man: Mighty Mayhem! (A Mighty Marvel Team-Up)
A fourth action-packed, original story in the Mighty Marvel Team-Up graphic novel series by celebrated cartoonist Mike Maihack, featuring Spider-Man as he journeys with Thor, Valkyrie, and the Warriors Three!
No day is boring when you’re Spider-Man and adventure is around every corner. But when Thor hops into the scene, transformed into a mini-Mjölnir-wielding frog, Spidey’s day is about to get even more adventurous!
After a heated battle against Enchantress, Thor’s friends—Valkyrie and the Warriors Three—and Odin’s most powerful artifacts have all been turned into humdrum house objects and scattered across the Nine Realms.
With a knack for seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary, Spider-Man is on the hunt! How hard can finding the artifacts really be? But as Spidey and his mighty mates skate through Frost Giants territory and sweat through Surtur’s sweltering home, they realize time is running out before Enchantress finds the destructive doodads for herself, putting Midgard—and the other realms—in danger.

Acél
Silvia Avallone első regénye könyvszenzáció volt Olaszországban, és az elmúlt tizenöt évben semmit sem vesztett érvényességéből.
Piombino toszkán kisváros, Elba szigetével szemben. De ez nem az ismerős vidék. Egy kisváros hanyatló iparnegyedének nyomorúságos világában járunk, ahol nyáron a bénító forróság, télen a kongó üresség és a szitáló eső miatt nem történik semmi. Nehéz itt kamasznak lenni. Anna és Francesca, a két elválaszthatatlan barátnő mégis úgy érzi: most kezdődik az élet, övék a világ. Ha betöltik a tizennégyet, ki állíthatná meg őket? Hiszen végre ott lehetnek este a görkorcsolyapályán, az ő nevüket vésik fel a fiúk a padra. Ám amikor kevéske bizonyosságuk darabokra hullik, képesek-e kitörni környezetük rideg, sekélyes világából?
Az Acél erős sodrású, váratlan fordulatokban és erotikus epizódokban gazdag lírai felnövéstörténet. Helyzetjelentés Olaszország kevésbé ismert, sötétebbik feléről, egy generáció illúzióvesztéséről, a gazdasági és családi háttér meghatározó szerepéről.

An Unwritten Novel
Saving fleeting snapshots, astutely observing strangers, recording meticulous detail: modernist author Virginia Woolf knows how to capture a moment.In 'Kew Gardens' and 'An Unwritten Novel', everyday life becomes a powerful stage for dreaming and storytelling. Woolf’s trademark stream-of-consciousness writing style is showcased in 'The Mark on the Wall' where a nameless narrator zeroes in on their environment, becoming more and more unnerved by a seemingly inexplicable dark stain.'The New Dress' and 'The Looking Glass' are brilliantly observed portraits of a few choice instants. In the former, the party dress Mabel Waring decides to wear leaves her feeling uncertain and doubtful, but she resolves to change for the better. In each of these seven stories, Woolf explores the nuanced events which make up daily life and maps how they intertwine with our thoughts and emotions.This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector's Library's 10th anniversary. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rabindranath Tagore.

Drawn Together
He was my protection… and my greatest weakness. Twenty-year-old Marfil Cortés lives the kind of life people imagine from afar. The daughter of a powerful businessman, she spends her days juggling Columbia classes, stolen hours at her ballet studio, and glittering nights in New York City.Her world feels untouchable — polished, predictable, safe. Until the afternoon she’s abducted in Central Park. Days later, Marfil opens her eyes in a hospital in New Orleans with no memory of what happened.There are no demands, no suspects, no explanation, only fear and the unsettling certainty that she is no longer safe. In the wake of the attack, her father tightens security and assigns her a bodyguard: Sebastian Moore. Sebastian is controlled, distant, unreadable — a man whose discipline borders on dangerous.His quiet intensity unsettles and infuriates Marfil in equal measure, stirring resentment toward his presence, his rules, his unyielding watchfulness. Yet as the threat surrounding her refuses to fade, Sebastian becomes the one person she cannot escape… and the one she cannot stop wanting. What begins as tension slowly ignites into something far more dangerous.Because the closer Marfil gets to Sebastian, the more she realizes the greatest risk may not be the one lurking in the shadows… but the feelings she never meant to have for the man sworn to protect her. Lush, addictive, and charged with suspense, Drawn Together is a darkly romantic story about love and survival, temptation and control, and the cost of uncovering what others would rather keep buried.
