Now that her wish has come true, she must manuever herself to not be found out by Eros, but keep Psyche alive in her old body, as she doesn't know if the swap is permanent. She enlists the help of her trusted ally to watch over Psyche and train her to become the perfect Lady Medea while she learns some shocking secrets of Psyche's upbringing and the relationship she has with Eros.

Rumors abound that residence are cannibals, and there are many peculiar traditions and rites of passage where Agawa struggles to prove he can be part of the culture. One day, Granny Goto is discovered dead in the woods, presumably eaten by a bear, and the villagers, particularly the Goto clan, spring into action to avenge her death. Officer Agawa has little time to reign in the situation and handle it as the town’s authority. Instead, he joins the family in the hunt and gets mixed deeper in the mystery that embroiled the former town policeman.

Cover of Itaewon Class volume 1. A girl with short blonde hair and a boy with a buzzed cut stand back to back. They are in dark brown coats and both are smiling slightly. Behind them is a lit street lamp.
Saeroyi Park's father just landed a new job in a new city, which means Saeroyi has to start fresh at a new school. On day one, he lands himself on the wrong side of the kid who "runs" the school, who happens to be the son of his dad's boss! But, rather than apologize for doing what he thought was right, he gets expelled, and his dad loses his job. The two decide to open a chicken restaurant and seemingly land on their feet, but it's not long before tragedy find them again, and Saeroyi finds himself in prison for attempted murder. After serving his time, he has to decide the best way to get revenge on those who have wronged him, and making a successful restaurant in in the thriving Seoul neighborhood of Itaewon is how he's going to do it. But first, he needs to make a lot of money, as Itaewon is extremely expensive to operate out of.

Cover of Dark Spaces: Good deeds. In the outline of a supernatural deer are Cheyenne and Rebecca with a purple and pink sunset over the beach of St. Augustine, Florida.
Illustrated by Kelsey Ramsay, colored by Ronda Pattison,  lettered by Rus Wooton and Shawn Lee
​
Teenager Cheyenne and her mom Rebecca move to St. Augustine, Florida with a dream of fixing up an old diner and having it be the gem of the town. Little do they know the history of the diner, that a man was murdered there, and the town’s seething hatred for the building. Later, an investigative reporter named Jean McKnight comes to the town to cover the Founder’s Day celebration, a fluff piece to salvage her career after a terrible outing that tarnished her reputation. The three lives cross when they all find that there is much more to this town, including something supernatural that may trace its roots back to the landfall by Spanish explorers at the heart of the town’s celebration.

Cover of Beauty and the Beast of Paradise Lost volume 4. Belle is clinging to Beast with her arms around his neck. She is in a bright red dres. He is in his blue suit. They are both looking at us. She is sad while the Beast looks like he is about to fight someone.
​The Beast and his Belle have been reunited, which is destroying our Belle's heart as she realizes more that she is in love with the Beast. What's worse is that the Princess Belle seems incredibly kind, and she also has lost the use of her legs. She requests our Belle's help in being her attending lady, helping her with her dresses and hair. Giselle finally can't take all of this any longer and leaves her room for the first time since the palace became cursed. She confides in Belle that the Princess Belle has actually entrapped the Beast in a relationship by guilt - Princess Belle betrayed her family in order to be with Prince Cyril before the curse happened, and now the Beast feels obligated to marry her. The Beast finds out that La Médium is in the court of The King and hatches a plan to confront her. He takes along a few people to help, including Belle, who hopes to finally rescue her maman.
