Fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender can get all the details behind the new hit series with The Legend of Korra: The Art of the Animated Series Book 1 – Air, covering the first season of the smash hit Nickelodeon series.

Award winning author Brian Wood takes Star Wars fans back to the story that started it all with Star Wars Volume 1, featuring all the favorite characters from the original film. And they follow up the wildly successful Hyrule Historia with art books for the video games Remember Me, Akaneiro, and The Last of Us.

Also offered is Nowhere Men Volume 1, the series from Image publisher Eric Stephenson which shows us “Science is the new rock and roll!” and Peter Panzerfaust Volume 2, the continuing story of Peter Pan as set in WWII. One of the biggest graphic novel events of the year comes in August, with Top Shelf Productions’ release of March Book One, the memoir of Congressman John Lewis chronicling his days as a pioneer in the Civil Rights Movement. Archaia Entertainment re-imagines a classic manga title for a modern Western audience with Cyborg 009, while Dynamite Entertainment re-introduces readers to Garth Ennis’ controversial and popular superhero send-up with The Boys Omnibus Volume 1. Oni Press’ supernatural western (and soon-to-be television show) continues in The Sixth Gun Volume 5, while Hermes Press reprints a classic American strip with Walt Kelly’s Pogo: The Complete Dell Comics Volume 1.

With all of the great titles on deck for the second half of the year, 2013 should prove to be an amazing year for graphic novels, both in quality and – even better – sales.
