Before the Dawn Burns Us, Vol. 2 (Low)
by Rick Remender, Greg Tocchini
In the far future, a time when the sun’s radioactive expansion has forced mankind to seek refuge in the deepest part of the ocean, and with little hope of survival, the fate of the Cain family is inevitably and tragically tied to that of our dying world. Stel Cain, the eternal optimist, has begun a perilous journey from the depths of the sea to the surface to intercept a deep-space probe, returned to earth with the location of an inhabitable planet, that mankind could escape to. But there is another Cain in the deep: Stel’s long-lost daughter Della, who has grown up to be a Hope Hunter, seeker and destroyer of all things that would instill in people a false sense of hope, distractions from life’s grim reality. When Della hears of the probe, the ultimate symbol of hope, she sets her courses to the surface as well, to destroy the beacon...and any who would seek to share its light.

How to Fall Forever (Black Science)
“A must-read for Remender's fans or anyone thrilled by bizarre and compelling sci-fi.” Starred Review - Booklist
“There is a lot of meat to this book. Plenty for everyone to like, or dislike. The dangers are real. People die. The worldbuilding is solid even though we're jumping through different realities. Each of those worlds pops off the page and has their own distinct look and feel.” - Kirkus
“This is a solid adventure tale...” - PW
Grant McKay, former member of The Anarchistic Order of Scientists, has finally done the impossible: He has deciphered Black Science and punched through the barriers of reality. But what lies beyond the veil is not epiphany, but chaos. Now Grant and his team are lost, living ghosts shipwrecked on an infinite ocean of alien worlds, barreling through the long-forgotten, ancient, and unimaginable dark realms. The only way is forward, through the madness of the lightning sea-swamp and a futurepast trenchworld, where the Sons of the Wakan Tech-Tanka wage never-ending war on the savages of Europe! How did the Anarchist League of Scientists end up this deep in the onion? And, who among them sabotaged the Pillar?

Grommets
by Brian Posehn, Rick Remender
"This throwback gem offers rewards for readers well beyond the Thrasher set." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Grommets captures the raw feeling of being an outcast kid in the 1980s, and why skateboarding became such a sacred salvation to a lucky few.” —Tony Hawk
Two outcast best friends navigate the Sacramento suburbs of 1984, where they find a home in skateboard culture and punk rock. Perfect for fans of John Hughes' Brat Pack teen movies, Freaks & Geeks, and Dazed & Confused.
Grommets is both an authentic look at ’80s skate culture—a snapshot of the generation that turned skating into a worldwide phenomenon— as well as a heartfelt coming-of-age story following two friends from troubled homes navigating their damage in an era when no one cared.
The series’ title springs from skater slang, a “grommet” is a commonly used term for a young up-and-coming skater or surfer. Since the ’60s it’s been used to describe the next generation of kids who, with youthful exuberance, love the sport but want to put their spin on it.
