In 1967, a man gets on a ferry and meets a mysterious woman who gives her name as Emanon. At first, they pose as a couple to shield her from some lecherous older men, but the two strike up conversation and discover some similar interests, including a love of science fiction. As the night wears on, Emanon confides in him that she has the memory of ever iteration of her cells before her, that she can remember the entire history of the planet Earth, and that she has loved many times and lost that many over. At first, he's not sure whether to believe the wild story, but morning comes, and the potential loss of someone so perfect brings more of her story into perspective.  Adapted by Gou Tanabe

In 2024, Dark Horse began a publication of Canto, the story by David M. Booher and Drew Zucker. This story was originally published with IDW, so to find the synopses, check out my original reviews of the paperbacks below: vol 1, vol 2, vol 3, vol 2.5-3.5 This review is of the new hardcovers specifically and how I believe this format will best serve library patrons. Note: 2.5-3.5 will be re-release as Vol 3, while Vol 3 will be re-release as Vol 4 under Dark Horse.

Set in Wild West of Utah, Sheriff Azrael William Holt is a legendary figure thanks to exploits that have been popularized in Dime novels, but the fictionalized accounts and horror stories may be closer to reality than the public may believe. In his latest case, Holt is assigned to protect Dr. Ed, a geologist, as he investigates a collapsed copper mine outside the town of Canary. Holt and Dr. Ed get some assistance from Mabel, the town’s saloon maiden and daughter of Canary’s founder. The town and mine have had a string of supernatural occurrences surrounding it, and Dr. Ed theorizes it may have something to do with Canary's water.

In the 1920s, Bixby is a pilot fresh from a devastating war that left him with some emotional scarring and nothing to his name except a plane. Skipping from airfield to airfield across small-town America, Hawk joins the local Barnstormers and participates in aerial shows to wow the crowd with death-defying feats. In one small town, he meets Tillie, who desperately wants to escape a forced marriage to a manipulative man. The two use the Barnstormers to evade Tillie's fiancé and the Pinkertons who want them for murder.

In a world full of filtered realities known as "veils", Sam Dunes is an ex-investigator who must take on a challenging case - figure out an apparent suicide of his ex-wife, which he believes could have been a murder in an altered reality. He receives a clue in the mail, and suddenly other entities are after him, wanting what he now possesses. Sam reconnects with many of his criminal underworld contacts to bring himself deeper into the twisted world of black veils, virtual realities deeper inside other realities, and the elite that manipulate everything others can see and believe about their worlds, all while staying just a bit ahead of the actual police who are investigating everyone involved. |
