Current Comics has some great new editions in the shop this week, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 and a new novel inspired by BRZRKR, The Book of Elsewhere, by Keanu Reeves and China Mieville. Visit us at 400 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey and check them out.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1

In this new series premiere, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have all left New York to pursue their own interests, but there are forces gathering that will pull them back together - whether the bad guys like it or not.

Superstar writer Jason Aaron (The Mighty Thor, Batman: Off-World) teams up with Joelle Jones (Lady Killer, Catwoman) for the start of a bold new era, celebrating the TMNT’s 40th anniversary while setting them up for the next 40 years to come!

The Book of Elsewhere

There have always been whispers. Legends. The warrior who cannot be killed. Who’s seen a thousand civilizations rise and fall. He has had many names. These days, he’s known simply as “B.” And he wants to be able to die.

In the present day, a U.S. black-ops group has promised him they can help with that. And all B needs to do is help them in return. But when an all-too-mortal soldier comes back to life, the impossible event ultimately points toward a force even more mysterious than B himself. One at least as strong. And one with a plan all its own.

China Mieville’s and Keanu Reeves have created something utterly unique, sure to delight existing fans and to create scores of new ones.
