New Collected Editions

Here are four collected trades that libraries might be interested in.  Incredibles, Vol. 5 is available from Boom Studios which would be a good addition to your library’s children graphic novel collection.  DC has Noche Roja which would appeal to your crime fiction fans.  However, Noche Roja is definitely one for the mature reader.  Image is rolling out Morning Glories, Vol. 1 – For a Better Future which will appeal to your Teen/Young Adult readers.  Morning Glories is set in a private high school academy with that touch of supernatural.  The other title libraries might be interested in would be Fringe: Tales from the Fringe.  This will be one of those editions that librarians can use to cross promote within your library between the TV series, books and graphic novels.
