The post-World War II fabric of global security, designed and maintained by the United States, has dangerously frayed. Built for a different age, current international institutions are ill-equipped to address today's most pressing global security challenges, ranging from climate change and nuclear proliferation to civil strife and terrorism. Revitalizing the institutions of cooperation will require a new conceptual foundation for global security. The 'national sovereignty' of the twentieth century must give way to 'responsible sovereignty' - a principle requiring nations not only to protect their own people, but also to cooperate across borders to safeguard common resources and tackle common threats. Achieving this will require American leadership and commitment to a rule-based international order.In "Power and Responsibility" Bruce Jones, Carlos Pascual, and Stephen Stedman provide the conceptual underpinnings for a new approach to sovereignty and cooperation. They present ideas for the new U.S. administration, working with other global powers, to promote together what they cannot produce apart - peace and stability. Recommendations follow more than a year of consultations with policymakers and experts all over the world. They reflect the guidance of the Managing Global Insecurity Project Advisory Group, composed of prominent figures from the United States and abroad. They call for the new president and key partners to launch a 2009 campaign to revitalize international cooperation and rejuvenate international institutions.

New series writer Bruce Jones enlists in the series to introduce the newest weapon in the Checkmate armory: Chimera! Saved from death and genetically enhanced to become a one-man wave of destruction, Chimera was once a human soldier and may now be the only thing standing between civilization and an approaching apocalypse.

Taking over writing duties on Conan the Barbarian in the early 1980s, Bruce Jones brought his humor and horror sensibilities - as well as his knack for telling great short stories - to the title, invigorating John Buscema, who returned to work on the series with Conan #136. In Chronicles of Conan: Isle of the Dead and Other Stories, these two comic-book titans lead Conan on a thrilling tour of Hyboria - from the monster-infested Bossonian Marshes to the hideous slave markets of Belthem - as Conan encounters strange, supernatural foes, beguiling women, and overconfident rulers....
