Moon Knight: a superhero with (several) jobs and many memes

Posted on March 30, 2022 by Elana Levin

Comics critic Harry Kassen guides a journey through the many phases of Moon Knight‘s Marvel comics series from 1975 through today — just in time for his big Disney+ TV debut. Moon Knight isn’t just a source of absurdist memes — he reflects changes in the comics medium. We’ll look at some of the best runs of Moon Knight with an especially close look at comics art legend Bill Sienkiewicz who’s style came into its own through the series.

So join us to learn about the alteregos, the angst and most of all the artists that make Moon Knight more than Marvel’s color-shifted Batman.

Pearl Tanaka is Back with a New Pearl Series from Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Gaydos, and Dark Horse

Posted on February 15, 2022 by Graphic Policy Team

The New York Times bestselling, Peabody, and multi-Eisner award-winning writer Brian Michael Bendis (Joy Operations, Superman) and superstar Jessica Jones co-creator Michael Gaydos (The New Avengers, Powerless) continue their masterful saga involving art, crime, loyalty, and passion in Pearl III at Dark Horse Comics.

A brand new (yes, all new!) chapter in the tattoo artist/yakuza assassin/romantic odyssey, Pearl. That’s right: the critically-acclaimed Jinxworld title makes its Dark Horse debut with a brand-new chapter in the wild life of Pearl Tanaka.

Pearl is a unique experience about an artist discovering the secrets of the modern yakuza world she was born into, through no fault of her own. After finding out the truth about her parents in previous volumes, the question now is: WHO IS THE GHOST DRAGON OF SAN FRANCISCO?

Pearl III #1 (of 6) will be in comic shops May 25, 2022. It is available for pre-order at your local comic shop. Pearl III #1 will have a variant cover by Peach Momoko.
