SUNNY-LUNA TRAVELLING ORACLE
Writer: Matthew Erman
Artist: Sam Beck
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics/Berger Books
Cover Price: $24.99
Release Date: August 21, 2024
Esta, a lonely, book-hungry, restless teen, must fight to save the planet in this eco-noir graphic novel thriller that's part Fahrenheit 451 and part Station Eleven. In the devastated dystopian dust bowl of what was once America, a mesmerizing stage show called The Sunny-Luna Travelling Oracle comes to Esta's town. When Sunny and Luna take an interest in her, it feels like her ticket out. But these mysterious proprietors are secretly members of a harsh authoritarian order, and they have a hidden agenda: scavenge for mythic texts that hold the last hope for reviving a natural world-and destroy them. Esta is the unwitting key to this strange magic, and she soon finds herself literally transported to a supernatural Wonderland-and the twisted plot of Sunny and Luna.

Publisher: IDW Publishing
Release Date: July 2019
Atomic Robo just opened Tesladyne Institute's doors to the next generation of Action Scientists. Meanwhile, an old comrade has an urgent message about the Vampire Dimension (spoiler, it's bad). Bernie is speaking with the Queen of Hollow Earth or just hallucinating. Jury's still out on that one.

Oh, and there's a subplot about Robo's secret robot son. Y'know, remember that old automatic intelligence that nearly killed everyone in the world a few years back? Well...it's fine. Everything's fine!
