Edel Rodriguez’s Worm: A Cuban American Odyssey is one hell of a true story

Hailed for his iconic art on the cover of Time and on jumbotrons around the world, Edel Rodriguez is among the most prominent political artists of our age. Now for the first time, he draws his own life, revisiting his childhood in Cuba and his family’s passage on the infamous Mariel boatlift.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Worm: A Cuban American Odyssey

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.

Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue was WAY more fun than it had any reason to be. The concept might sound silly but it worked and worked really well. A perfect release for the season.

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees #2 (IDW Publishing) – They may look like cute animals but there’s a serial killer among them! A twisted tale whose first issue was one of the best of the year.

Beyond Real #1 (Vault Comics) – June discovers we’re in a computer simulation and sets out to meet the world’s creator. The second of Vault’s interesting release experiment!

Punisher #2 (Marvel) – A new Punisher, same ole action. The first issue felt like a back to the roots return for the character and we want to see more over the top kills and action.

Underheist #1 (BOOM! Studios) – A hardboiled heist series with a supernatural twist.

White Widow #2 (Marvel)The first issue was solid fun and we’re hoping for more of the same for the second.

Worm: A Cuban American Odyssey (Metropolitan Books)We already reviewed this one and it’s one of the best of the year. The true story of artist Edel Rodriguez as he escapes Cuba for the US and becomes a world famous artist.

Zawa + the Belly of the Beast #2 (BOOM! Studios) – The first issue had a nice fantasy story to it with amazing art. We’re expecting more and want more.
