Partisan is one of the best this year, an amazing graphic novel from Garth Ennis and Steve Epting

Posted on by Leave a comment

1941. Aleksandra, a blacksmith’s wife, is thirty when the German invasion comes. With her husband in the army, she and her son and daughter are left to fend for themselves. And when a brutal campaign of genocide begins, her only hope is to join the partisans. Resistance fighters hated by the Nazis and distrusted by the local peasants, the partisans offer Aleksandra and her family a home- but only at a price. To protect her children from the horrors that surround them, this very ordinary peasant woman must learn to fight like a soldier- and to survive between the fronts of the bloodiest war in human history, no matter what the cost.

Posted on by

Deep in the backwoods, there is a place called CROSSBONES USA. It is a place of history. It is a place of mysticism.

Guiding Val through this journey is her powerful mother FREYA, who may have ulterior motives for drawing Val to her side. Created by Bram Stoker-nominee Salvatore Simeone (Lonesome Days, Savage Nights) with art by Justin Greenwood (Stumptown) and colors by Brad Simpson (Amazing Spider-Man), this thrilling tale delves into a young person’s journey to find their destiny.

    After a run-in with the law, ex-con Noah returns to his coal-mining hometown to find it in economic decline and riddled with drug abuse. But, there’s something far more sinister in the coal mines than the evil corporation exploiting the town and its people.

    San Diego Comic-Con

    It’s a huge week for comics this week with the return of San Diego Comic-Con. We’ll have as much coverage as we can from a distance and to star the week we have some news from the weekend you might have missed.

    Kotaku – Your Favorite Manga Isn’t More Important Than The Creator’s Health – Yes, much more important.

    Comicbook – Manga Pirate Sentenced After Unusual Lawsuit Ruling – Interesting.

    ICv2 – Eaglemoss Files for Administration – That’s a bummer.

    ICv2 – People on the Move: Tara Lehmann to TKO – A lot of staffing changes in recent weeks.

    The Mary Sue – Dear San Diego Comic-Con, Can We Still Have Virtual Panels? – Baffling why more conventions haven’t pivoted to this in addition to the in-person events. Charge some money to view and it’s added revenue!

    THE FORGOTTEN BLADE

    by Tze Chun and Toni Fejzula • Print MSRP: $19.99 U.S. / $25.99 CAN • Release Date: March 15th

    In the land of the Five Rivers, the magical waters that flow from the Citadel grant incredible powers to the people who know to use them. Power that the Church of the Citadel guards jealously and with an iron fist. Years after Ruza the Unwashed, the world’s greatest warrior and wielder of the mystical Forgotten Blade, destroyed the last chance for the people to overthrow the Church’s cruel tyranny, he is recruited by a schoolteacher to save the souls of her two children cursed by inquisitors for no crime at all. To do that, they must do what no one has ever done — infiltrate the Citadel, discover the source of the Five Rivers, and vanquish the most powerful adversary of all: the malevolent god who created this world in the first place.
