Marville by Bill Jemas, Mark D. Bright, Paul Neary and Rodney Ramos
Requirements: .CBR/.CBZ reader, 45.4MB
Overview: Marville is a 2002 comic book limited series published by Marvel Comics. The series was written by Bill Jemas and the stories involve satirical comments on comic book industry conventions and trends.
Marville was created because of a publicity stunt between then-Marvel president Bill Jemas, Joe Quesada and Peter David in a contest called U-Decide, a competition to see who could sell the most issues. Peter David's Captain Marvel series won the contest and Bill Jemas' contribution was this.
What started as a parody comic, satirizing the state of the comic book industry as well as Marvel Comics and DC Comics superheroes, shifted gears after the second issue and became a pseudo-philosophical depiction of God, evolution and the science versus religion debate on life.
The series was slated to be a six issue mini-series, but a 7th issue was published a month after the initial series was done. The comic was one of Comic Alliance's Top 15 for the worst comics of the decade.

Fall of Night by Lara Adrian (Book 17 in the Midnight Breed series)
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 91 mb
Overview: Breed warrior Micah is one of the Order’s best, his reputation for cold justice and lethal skill rivaled only by that of his formidable father, Tegan. So, when a mission Micah’s leading in an off-limits area called the Deadlands goes terribly wrong, leaving him the sole survivor of an apparent Atlantean attack, he won’t rest until he has answers...and vengeance for his fallen team.
Phaedra thought it was only a dream, a hideous nightmare. Yet somehow, she had been transported from her life in Rome to a stretch of barren forest when it suddenly lit up with unearthly fire, obliterating everything in its path—including the fiercely handsome Breed warrior she’d encountered in the dream. Or so she believed, until their paths cross again and Phaedra finds herself, and her Atlantean people, at the center of Micah’s wrath.

Prairie Edge by Conor Kerr
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4.6 MB | Retail
Overview: The Giller Prize-longlisted author of Avenue of Champions returns with a frenetic, propulsive crime thriller that doubles as a sharp critique of modern activism and challenges readers to consider what “Land Back” might really look like.

Meet Isidore “Ezzy” Desjarlais and Grey Ginther: two distant Métis cousins making the most of Grey’s uncle’s old trailer, passing their days playing endless games of cribbage and cracking cans of cheap beer in between. Grey, once a passionate advocate for change, has been hardened and turned cynical by an activist culture she thinks has turned performative and lazy. One night, though, she has a revelation, and enlists Ezzy, who is hopelessly devoted to her but eager to avoid the authorities after a life in and out of the group home system and jail, for a bold yet dangerous political mission: capture a herd of bison from a national park and set them free in downtown Edmonton, disrupting the churn of settler routine. But as Grey becomes increasingly single-minded in her newfound calling, their act of protest puts the pair and those close to them in peril, with devastating and sometimes fatal consequences.

For readers drawn to the electric storytelling of Morgan Talty and the taut register of Stephen Graham Jones, Conor Kerr’s Prairie Edge is at once a gripping, darkly funny caper and a raw reckoning with the wounds that persist across generations.
