DC'S LEX AND THE CITY, a new Valentines day special from various Writers and Artist releasing on 29th January,2025! "It's Valentine's Day, which means that love and heartbreak are sweeping every city in the DCU! This anthology collects eight stories of heroes and villains looking for love in the big city (which practically feels like its own character!). Lex Luthor laments over the one that got. away- the big, ever- elusive Metropolitan man, Superman! Raven and Beast Boy embark on a romantic scavenger hunt across San Francisco (which just might be a trap) And Damian Wayne runs a dating-advice gauntlet through Gotham City, organized by none other than the dating master himself, Tim Drake! Gather your gal pals, pour yourself a cosmo, and hit your nearest comic shop--DC'S LEX & THE CITY is coming this January!

Had a fabulous time at Once Upon A Time Bookstore chatting with Emma Steinkellner about our new books! The Search for the Shadowsoul and the second Nell of Gumbling adventure both came out this month, and, speaking as someone who knows about such things, they’re VERY good books.
