Two women, clone from the same DNA-exact duplicates right? Wrong! Queenie and Delta share their creator's genes as well as her memories. But each of these clones has her own personality and purpose: Delta's a scientists, Queenie's a soldier. In their world, genetic engineering is an everyday event, clones are second-class citizens, and big business runs the show. But that doesn't stop this feisty, brains-and-brawns duo from tackling problems both big and small. Averting a global food crisis, shopping for a new spaceships, fending off street thugs-it's all in a day's work for the Heartbreakers!

Meet Boilerplate, the world's first robot soldierùnot in a present-day military lab or a science-fiction movie, but in the past, during one of the most fascinating periods of U.S. history. Designed by Professor Archibald Campion in 1893 as a prototype, for the self-proclaimed purpose of ôpreventing the deaths of men in the conflicts of nations,ö Boilerplate charged into combat alongside such notables as Teddy Roosevelt and Lawrence of Arabia. Campion and his robot also circled the planet with the U.S. Navy, trekked to the South Pole, made silent movies, and hobnobbed with the likes of Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla. You say you've never heard of Boilerplate before? That's because this book is the fanciful creation of a husband-and-wife team who have richly imagined these characters and inserted them into accurate retellings of history. This full-color chronicle is profusely illustrated with graphics mimicking period style, including photos, paintings, posters, cartoons, maps, and even stereoscope cards. Part Jules Verne and part Zelig, it's a great volume for a broad range of fans of science fiction, history, and robots.

Professor Ernst Kleist has achieved the impossible: he has genetically engineered powerful, obedient Aliens. When an operative from the funding organization is sent to do a routine check up, he finds Kleist's methods to be... unorthodox. "There is an adage," says Kleist, "about omelettes... and breaking eggs." The horror of nature is dwarfed by the terror of the man toying with it! Ian Edginton weaves a complex tale of a man driven to harness nature's most violent creature, and the horrors involved with what he must become to achieve his goal. The terror is exquisitely illustrated by Will Simpson in what proved to be the most harrowing Aliens tale yet. Brace yourself for the collected Aliens: Rogue!

Queenie and Delta share their creator's genes as well as her memories. But each was cloned for a different purpose: Delta's a scientist; Queenie's a solider, leader of the Heartbreaks, a squad of expert bodyguards based on her DNA. When they find and reassemble the legendary 19th century robot known as Boilerplate, lost since World War I, their android, Femiquin 44, falls for the big lug. The mechanical man also attracts attention from rogue researchers who set their sights on dismantling him to exploit the valuable technology hidden inside. Meanwhile, radical change is afoot: clones have finally won partial human rights and are no longer treated as property. Now the race is one to develop androids that can serve as the new slave workers. But if a droid walks, talks, and thinks like a human...is it more than just a machine? Heartbreakers meet Boilerplate interweaves this multilayered story with historical tales of Boilerplate, including period photos. The art for the story was created using a new technique called paintography which fuses drawing, painting, and photography into a distinctive illustration style.
