In this gripping adaptation of the Eisner Award-nominated comic book series Gasolina, Randy and Amalia find themselves in the middle of the Mexican drug war as it takes a supernatural turn. Despite their efforts of trying to leave behind their past identities as El Doctor y La Asesina – the givers and takers of life – the couple is forced to confront their old ways when Amalia’s nephew is kidnapped. Behind the crime stands a new cartel, infamous not only for their brutality and ruthlessness but also for their chilling devotion to a mysterious new saint, La Querida.  

The series is a bilingual audio release, with completed recordings in both Spanish and English.  

Gasolina is Skybound’s third partnership in a slate of Audible Original podcasts, joining Impact Winter and Death by Unknown Event.

Kindle Unlimited includes Comics and Graphic Novels. Can comiXology Unlimited be far behind?

Posted on by

2014-07-18_0941It’s been rumored for a few days now, but Amazon today introduced Kindle Unlimited, a new subscription service that gives customers access to over 600,000 Kindle Books, and and some of Amazon’s thousands of Audible audiobooks for $9.99 a month.

But, buried in the massive offering from Amazon are is a section dubbed “Comics & Graphic Novels” featuring currently 3,690 books.

When you dig deeper into the offering, things get a bit stranger. The biggest publisher I’ve found so far is IDW Publishing, but their offerings are limited. There’s also a lot of manga, but within that count too is a lot of “how too” books as well as books on the industry, so it’s not all comics and graphic novels in the traditional sense. What does seem present is a lot of independent books, some I recognize as having been sent to our site to review, or from Kickstarter.

The big question though, is how comiXology fits into the bigger plans. Earlier this year Amazon purchased the digital comics distributor, and other than how you can purchase your books (in the app vs through the web), the changes have been minimal. Rumors of comiXology providing an all you can read service have persisted, and it’s a question that’s come up at every panel I’ve ever attended of theirs. With this move by Amazon, maybe we’re seeing the first steps towards that.
