Welcome to Tokyopop's Pantheon High! You're not
here because you're smarter, faster or stronger than other kids. You're
better than other kids because you're the child of a god and a mortal.
As a demigod, you'll get the best education a child of Greek, Norse,
Japanese or Egyptian divinity can receive. Here at our Los Angeles
based campus, you'll study subjects ranging from Algebra to Mythstory
under noted instructors such as Greece's oldest mortal, Tithonus, and
Japan's mistress of combat, Ms. Hitomi Hachiman. And let's not forget
our very own Fighting Chimeras--divine league basketball champions two
years running. Keep at 'em, Coach Hercules! You may have heard
prophecies or seen visions of a great doom looming over the school, but
the End Of All Things is no excuse for tardiness and absences will go
on your permanent record. The challenges at a school for demigods are
great, but if anyone can face them it's the students of Pantheon High!See the preview at http://www.tokyopop.com/P-48/ Interested in buying the book? Click here: Amazon.com - Pantheon High Vol. 1

Click here: Amazon.com - Pantheon High Vol. 2
Stunning in its ambition, Benjamin's detailed story imagines all of the characters of the various world mythologies living together in one universe-and sending their children to the same high school in Los Angeles. Sullen Grace is the daughter of Tyr, Norse god of war; reckless Griffin, child of Hades and raised by adopted human parents, flirts with suicide and tries to bribe Charon to take him home; Yukio, son of the Japanese goddess of luck, skirts by on his innate good fortune; and Aziza, daughter of Egyptian sun god Ra, can use her body to generate intense heat. When a group of renegade mythological students puts the rest of the student body to sleep so that they can carry out their plan to ascend to godhood alongside their parents, the four fight back together. There are laughs aplenty throughout the school day, and there is something utterly charming about immortal beings talking fluid 21st-century teenspeak. The intricate and detailed artwork includes tons of clever puns and historical references hidden throughout; a much-needed glossary at the end points out the mythical background of many of the sight gags and references. This is truly a one-of-a-kind work that entertains with intelligence and humor.

The brutal, dark and fascinating world of the StarCraft video games comes alive in this collection of never-before-seen thrilling adventures.

In "Weapon of War," a psionic six-year-old boy is at the center of a brutal conflict between a Terran mining colony and the zerg--and the marines and miners must decide between the unthinkable: Do they save the boy and lose their lives? Or do they use him against their vicious attackers, but give up their humanity in the process?
