Barb is a Berzerker, one of a group of warriors sworn to protect the land of Bailiwick from the scourge of monsters that plagues it. But the fearsome crew seem to have met their match in the nefarious Witch Head. Using power from his magical sword, he tricked the Zerks and took them captive. Only Barb was able to escape and she took Witch Head's Shadow Blade with her. Now it's up to Barb to free her fellow warriors so they can stop Witch Head from taking over Bailiwick. On the way, she'll battle vampire goat fiends, snot goblins, and a giant with serious foot odor issues (but don't mention that to him he's very sensitive about it). Luckily, she's got her best friend, Porkchop the yeti, to help her! (STL329025) (C: 0-1-0)

DISNEY HIGH UNTOLD STORY DISNEY CHANNELS TWEEN EMPIRE
(W) Ashley Spencer
For many kids growing up in the 2000s, there was no cultural touchstone more powerful than Disney Channel. At its peak, Disney Channel was the most-watched cable channel in primetime, generating billions of dollars from its related movies, albums, merchandise, and more. Today, it might best be known for introducing the world to talents like Hilary Duff, Raven-Symon , Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, and Zendaya. In the new millennium, it churned out original content and triple-threat stars whose careers were almost entirely controlled by the corporation. Suddenly, everyone wanted a piece of the pie and there were constant clashes between the studio, network, labels, and creatives as Disney Channel became a pressure cooker of perfection for its stars.
From private feuds and on-set disasters to fanfare that swept the nation and the realities of child stardom, culture journalist Ashley Spencer offers the first unauthorized look at the heyday of TV's House of Mouse. (STL328585) (C: 0-1-0)

TALES FOR A HALLOWEE NIGHT BROOKLYN STORIES TP (MR)
(W) Tieri, Frank (A/CA) Cat Staggs
Comic legends Frank Tieri and Cat Staggs have teamed up to offer tales of monsters, both human and supernatural, creeping in the streets of Brooklyn. As it turns out, these big city beasties, whether ghosts, vampires, wendigoes or simply human beings bent on revenge, have been responsible for events as widespread as the '77 NY blackout, the Coney Island fire of 1911, and even the Revolutionary War's Battle of Brooklyn. The 'truth' behind all these events is not what you've been told. Thankfully, Tieri is here to set things straight. This collection includes all six of the duo's stories from John Carpenter's Tales for A HalloweeNight volumes 4 through 10, plus a seventh story, woven between the others, to tie these events and characters together. Cat Staggs illustrated the entire collection. You'll never look at New York the same way again. (STL320505) (C: 0-1-2)
