Image Comics Son of Shaolin
Book SynopsisA kung fu epic set in the back alleys and subway tunnels of Harlem, New York. Kyrie, an aspiring street artist who is struggling to make ends meet, learns that he is the last living descendant of a secret sect of ancient Shaolin Elders. Confused and unsure of where to turn, he finds a father figure in the mysterious Master Fong. Fong trains Kyrie in martial arts in anticipation of an attack from Red Fist, a relentless killer who has already murdered the rest of Kyrie's bloodline. Introduction by Aisha Tyler. Film rights recently sold to Sony / Columbia Pictures with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson attached to produce.Trade ReviewLIBRARY JOURNAL -- An aspiring street artist with a job and a few good friends, Kyrie isn't interested in some cheesy offer to fulfill his destiny as descendant of a Shaolin Elder and save the free world. But when the mysterious Master Fong connects the challenge to Kyrie's absent father, the young man seizes on what all children of absent fathers wish to hear: that his father deeply loved him and stayed away to protect him, not from hate or disinterest. So Kyrie trusts his mentor, trains hard, and finally fights his adversary. Yet things are not as they seem, and Kyrie chooses to rise above Fong's demands. Moreover, the battle is not yet over. While screenwriter Longino's plot seems similar to many other martial arts dramas, the closing twists add depth and suspense. White's (The Harlem Hellfighters) lively art hits the top of the scale for excitement, realism, and design. In addition, Diego Rodriguez's colors imbue the settings from seedy hotels to Harlem sewers with moody, glowing ambiance. VERDICT Kung fu aficionados will enjoy this new variation on a beloved theme with hip-hop and urban trappings. [Film rights were recently sold to Sony/Columbia Pictures.-Ed.]-MC

Then an ordinary day in Mr. Bee’s history class turns extraordinary, and Echo’s life will never be the same. During Mr. Bee’s lecture, Echo finds herself transported to another time and place—a bison hunt on the Saskatchewan prairie—and back again to the present. In the following weeks, Echo slips back and forth in time. She visits a Métis camp, travels the old fur-trade routes, and experiences the perilous and bygone era of the Pemmican Wars.Pemmican Wars is the first graphic novel in a new series, A Girl Called Echo, by Governor General Award–winning writer, and author of Highwater Press’ The Seven Teaching Stories, Katherena Vermette.Trade ReviewIn this YA graphic novel, an alienated Métis girl learns about her people’s Canadian history. [...] A sparse, beautifully drawn story about a teen discovering her heritage. * Kirkus Reviews *Henderson’s realistic art and perfect pacing, particularly in the pages of wordless panels depicting Echo’s daily routine, highlight her silent nature and hint at the source of her unspoken sadness. Solitary teens are likely to strongly identify with Echo and look forward to more of her adventures. * Booklist *Vermette expertly juxtaposes the isolation of an aboriginal teen in the current day with the emphasis on working together in traditional Métis communities. Henderson’s artwork and Yaciuk’s colours help to emphasize the differences between the past and present, as gorgeous prairie panoramas in vibrant hues contrast with crowded, dingy hallways and buses. [...] This reviewer is eagerly awaiting the second volume of the series. -- Roseanne Gauthier * National Reading Campaign *Recognition is due Katherena Vermette’s collaborators on Echo – illustrator Scott B. Henderson and color artist Donovan Yaciuk. Because Echo speaks so seldom, it’s on the illustrations to convey key details about her life. And they do so with subtlety and grace! -- Jean Mendoza * American Indians in Children's Literature *Strong use of comics technique, a unique examination of a fascinating time of history, and the thoughtful narration by an aboriginal teen make this a must-read and a strong classroom or library choice. -- Meghann Meeusen * VOYA Magazine *...feelings of alienation, of loneliness, of not belonging, either at home or at school, are experienced by both genders and those teens – male or female - who eat their lunch alone and wander the halls without friends will understand Echo's plight.

Naval Institute Press The Stringbags
Book SynopsisIf you do the incredible often enough, they'll want you to do the impossible."Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy began the Second World War with fast, modern torpedo bombers that could devastate enemy warships and merchantmen at will. Britain's Royal Navy squadrons went to war equipped with the Fairey Swordfish. A biplane in an age of monoplanes, the Swordfish was underpowered and undergunned; an obsolete museum piece, an embarrassment. Its crews fully expected to be shot from the skies. Instead, they flew the ancient Stringbag into legend.Writer Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys, War Stories) and artist PJ Holden (Battlefields, World of Tanks) present the story of the men who crewed the Swordfish: from their triumphs against the Italian Fleet at Taranto and the mighty German battleship Bismarck in the mid-Atlantic, to the deadly challenge of the Channel Dash in the bleak winter waters of their homeland. They lived as they flew, without a second to lose- and the greatest tributes to their courage would come from the enemy who strove to kill them.Based on the true story of the Royal Navy's Swordfish crews, The Stringbags is an epic tale of young men facing death in an aircraft almost out of time.Trade Review“An epic tribute to little-known heroes, featuring frenzied depictions of midair combat by Holden.” – Library Journal (starred review)"A real corker of a war comic, this expertly balances research, amusement, and stirring emotion." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)“This may be the best war comic to come out in years.” – ICv2: The Business of Geek Culture"The Stringbags is even better than I'd hoped…. Each part of Stringbags has text exposition, giving historical context, sometimes bridging between scenes; it's great text too. Ennis writes history with a mix of enthusiasm and flair--he takes it seriously, explaining his creative choices with facts in the afterword (because he too seems to recognize the potential of the project)--so even as you wait to find out what's happening to the heroes, you don't really want the lecture to end. Ennis is concise and fact-filled, with an intention of making those facts count not fill…. It's fiction with straight non-fiction tangents. It's awesome." - The Stop Button"I really enjoyed the artwork in The Stringbags.... It was a delight to read all the way through. If you're a fan of Garth Ennis or if you're simply a war history buff, I highly recommend you pick up this graphic novel!" - CoolComicReviews.com"A reserve crew in a hopelessly outdated biplane attacking the might of a battleship convoy in the early days of World War II. The Stringbags is, like the best well-researched military history, delivered with genuine heart, something Garth Ennis excels at. A gripping underdog tale filled with spectacle and tragedy, featuring career-best art from PJ Holden." - Rob Williams, author of Judge Dredd and Unfollow"The Stringbags artfully meshes fiction into a factual narrative, bringing to life the story of an oft-overlooked combat force in WWII. An entertaining read, even to those who are already aware of the Swordfish's wartime feats." - Nick Moran, AKA 'The Chieftain'"The art of storytelling lies in drawing readers in, making them hungry to know what comes next. The Stringbags has that in abundance. Intending merely to take an exploratory glance, I couldn't stop reading. A fascinating, engaging and well-researched script that you'd expect from Garth Ennis augmented by admirably clear and atmospheric art from PJ Holden, beautifully coloured by Kelly Fitzpatrick. Highly recommended for lovers of damn good stories." - John Wagner, co-creator of Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog"The Stringbags is a triumphant graphic novel about World War II heroism." - Foreword Reviews

Seven Seas Entertainment, LLC Monster Guild: The Dark Lord’s (No-Good)
Book SynopsisIts old walls and ruined defences crumble before the force of the two Luminaries bearing down, intent on the slaughter of all the refugees protected within. The Dark Lord is once more called to defend those who need him and answer his own uncertainties regarding his purpose in this new life. Series Overview: It’s hard to defeat a mighty hero when he keeps coming back to life–in fact, it’s impossible. The Dark Lord, stuck in a loop of battling a good guy who won’t stay dead, finally loses the fight and meets his own end…or so it would seem. The Dark Lord saved himself by putting his soul into an empty vessel, and now he’s about to stage his own comeback. He may be weak now, but along with his newly formed fellowship of misfits–a slime, an orc, an ifrit, and a dark elf–he’s convinced he can rebuild his evil empire, one bumbling step at a time.
