SKY - The Talking Window
A unique device that talks to weary commuters as they rest their heads on the glass. The contact activates an audio ad that plays into the sleeper’s ear - to the uninitiated, the message from the advert seems to be a voice talking inside their head, and nobody else can hear it. A small transmitter attached to the window sends out inaudible high-frequency vibrations, which translate into sound in the brain. This magic is known officially as ‘Bone Conduction’, and has previously only been used by the military and to help the deaf.

Brubaker & Phillips
Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips have racked up more than enough credentials independently as both writer and respective artist. Brubaker (along with Greg Rucka) has become responsible for redefining the crime genre in comics, giving birth to a whole line of immersive titles to rival anything HBO puts on the small screen. Their collaboration on Gotham Central - a supremely crafted series from the pov of the Gotham City Police Department, where Batman rarely reveals himself, is a series up there with NYPD: Blue and The Wire. This is the cops' story as they battle the crime and ridicule of policing a city where the vigilante rules the night. As well as his reinvention of Captain America, redefining the patriot's ongoing series as a hard edged espionage thriller - it is his Eisner Award winning collaborations with Sean Phillips that has produced some of the best comics on the shelves today.
Incognito. What if you were an ex-super villain hiding out in Witness Protection... but all you could think about were the days when the rules didn't apply to you? Could you stand the toil of an average life after years of leaving destruction in your wake? And what if you couldn't stand it? What would you do then? Incognito - a twisted mash-up of noir and super-heroics
Sleeper tells the story of agent Holden Carver and the secret criminal organization he becomes enmeshed with. Carver is forced to live one day at a time in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse he plays with its leader, Tao, the amoral master of manipulation trying to elude detection since he has no way back in from the cold.
Criminal sets the noirish scene of multiple tales that intersect and collide on the urban streets of America. The first volume, Coward, tells the story of Leo, a professional pickpocket who is also a legendary heist-planner and thief. But there's a catch with Leo, he won't work any job that he doesn't call all the shots on, he won't allow guns, and the minute things turn south, he's looking for any exit that won't land him in prison. But when he's lured into a risky heist, all his rules go out the window, and he ends up on the run from the cops and the bad men who double-crossed him. Now Leo must come face-to-face with the violence he's kept bottled up inside for 20 years, and nothing will ever be the same for him again.
Fatale. Still delivering their distinctive flourishes of noir, this is a different story entirely with Lovecraftian vertibrae and the twisted, tangled mess of immortality and deadly forces beyond human comprehension. One of the best titles on the shelf currently - fans of classic intrigue and characters who tread a thin line between crime and utter terror, won't be disapointed.
