Lunar New Year Love Story is a “best of” the year contender! Great graphic novel to start the year!

Posted on by

Val is ready to give up on love. It’s led to nothing but secrets and heartbreak, and she’s pretty sure she’s cursed–no one in her family, for generations, has ever had any luck with love.

But then a chance encounter with a pair of cute lion dancers sparks something in Val. Is it real love? Could this be her chance to break the family curse? Or is she destined to live with a broken heart forever?

History Comics: Hip-Hop – The Beat of America is a nice introduction to the greats

Posted on by

How did a bunch of young people from the inner city create a genre of music that became a global phenomenon? From its humble origins at house parties in the Bronx, where DJs mixed old records to create new sounds, charismatic MCs let their clever lyrics flow, and B-boys and B-girls pioneered inventive dance moves, hip-hop quickly became a musical and cultural revolution.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
Rise of the Powers of X #1

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Disney Villains: Cruella De Vil #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – Cruella feels like she’s been maligned due to that whole dog thing… and that alone has us excited to check out this new series. Dynamite’s Disney Villains line has been excellent so far.

Jennifer Blood: Battle Diary #2 (Dynamite Entertainment) – Nazi punching. Nuff said.

Lunar New Year Love Story (First Second) – A new graphic novel where Gene Luen Yang is involved? Yeah, that’s an auto read and suggestion.

Masterpiece #2 (Dark Horse) – The first issue was fantastic, focusing on the daughter of two thieves and the person who wants revenge that they stole from.

Petrol Head #3 (Image Comics) – Great art. Interesting world. Just solid sci-fi.

Rebel Moon: House of the Bloodaxe #1 (Titan Comics) – A tie-in to the Zack Snyder film. We’re told it’s a must read if you’re interested in the film.

Rise of the Powers of X #1 (Marvel) – It’s the fall of Krakoa and the X-Men fighting back in this second main series that will lead into what’s next for the Marvel line. Here’s hoping this series kicks off a bit better than Fall of the House of X which left us… wanting.

Transformers #4 (Skybound) – The series has been planting its flag in how it wants to stand out from what has come before while at the same time honoring what has come before.

Ultimate Spider-Man #1 (Marvel) – The first ongoing series to launch out of the new Ultimate Universe. We’re excited to see how it stands out and differs from what has come before and what’s currently going on in the 616.

Wolverine #41 (Marvel) – We’ve been promised a brutal fight between Wolverine and Sabretooth!

Zorro: Man of the Dead #1 (Massive) – New Zorro from Sean Gordon Murphy? Yeah, we’re intrigued by this.
