by KAZUO KOIKE and GOSEKI KOJIMA; cover by MATT WAGNER Holy hand grenades! Edo is flooded, and by flooded, we mean crazy-flooded. Bridges are crumbling, rivers are washing past retaining walls, and everything in Edo is floating away, including our vengeful ronin, his foe, and his little boy. In an ironic show of samurai respect, little Cub Daigoro gets saved by the conniving Retsudo Yagyu. And proving he can lend a hand, too, Lone Wolf Ogami pulls someone to safety as well - but maybe he should have let him drown. Eventually, the two opposing master swordsmen dry off and go head to head in a sword fight of a thousand stances and couple of days length. This seems like it could be the deciding bout between the two, unless that nasty, Abeno Kaii gets in the way, and he seems to do that a lot lately.

by KAZUO KOIKE and GOSEKI KOJIMA; cover by MATT WAGNER The true meaning of Bushido, the warrior code, oozes from every page of this volume. A little boy desperately attempts to drag his ronin father to safely, even if it costs him his own life; that same wandering samurai and his mortal enemy work together to save the frostbitten fingers of the same little boy, knowing they will eventually match swords again in a battle to the death; another samurai bites his own tongue, killing himself and locking a dark secret in his grave. The code of the samurai is complex and rich with irony, which is why so few carry this code through life. But as we draw closer to the conclusion of this epic struggle, the true bushi are stepping forth and showing their colors. It will truly be a fight to the finish. So, in these final days, a ronin and his young boy will visit the grave of their murdered wife and mother. It just might be the last Spring the two will share, like the many petals falling from branches.

created, written, & illustrated by TONY MILLIONAIRE The Sock Monkey and the other toys in the house marvel at the prismatic spectrum shining on the parlor floor. They notice that the dazzling colors are somehow emanating from the beautiful glass doorknob on the front door. Winter turns to Spring, and the apple tree at the front of the house sprouts its new leaves, casting a warm green shadow on the door. But something happens to the doorknob: it seems to be broken, and the magical light show has come to a disheartening end. As the leaves grow heavier, joy leaves the house, until Mr. Crow comes up with a plan: to repair the doorknob using very scientifical techniques! Meanwhile, outside, notions of celestial events, planetary rhythm, and farmer's almanacs are discussed by two new characters, a bug and a bird, named Rickets and Scurvy.

by KAZUO KOIKE and GOSEKI KOJIMA; cover by MATT WAGNER The mortal enemy of our ronin hero, Retsudo Yagyu has been imprisoned in Edo castle by the shogun. It seems the conniving poisoner, Abeno Kaii, has exposed the Yagyu letter! And Yagyu's jailer is none other than the poisoner himself, determined to feed Retsudo the dose that will end his life in a pit of dishonor. But Yagu has spies even in Edo caslte, and a message is sent to his 'grass,' members of the clan hiding in secret, living as normal townspeople throughout Japan. It is up to them to give their lives in this final hour of desperate need. Meanwhile, Itto Ogami is living in a shack and training his little boy for the day when he must protect the battlefield with his own little hands. Still, two swords remain in this field of death, awaiting the two hands that will draw them from the soil and bring us closer to the end of our tale.

by Dan Clowes TWENTIETH CENTURY EIGHTBALL collects the very best humor strips from Eightball, written and drawn between 1988 and 1996. Included within are such seminal strips as 'I Hate You Deeply,' 'Sexual Frustration,' 'Ugly Girls,' 'Why I Hate Christians,' 'Message to the People of the Future,' 'Paranoid,' 'My Suicide,' 'Chicago,' and over three dozen more. Also included is Clowes' hilariously Freudian deconstruction of professional athletes, 'On Sports,' which caused a stir in San Antonio when reprinted in the city's most popular weekly paper, prompting an advertising boycott and demands for the paper to be destroyed by local sports fans. Further on display is Clowes' absurdist sense of humor, from strips like 'Zubrick and Pogeybait' and 'Hippypants and Peace-Bear' to 'Grip Glutz,' 'The Sensual Santa,' and 'Feldman.' Noted comics historian Roger Sabin, author of Phaidon's Comics, Comix and Graphic Novels, calls Eightball a 'corrosively satirical vision of an America cracking apart, and confirms Clowes as a worthy successor to the underground greats of the 1960s.' With over 40 pages in color TWENTIETH CENTURY EIGHTBALL is sure to be one of Clowes' most popular books for years to come. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by KAZUO KOIKE and GOSEKI KOJIMA; cover by MATT WAGNER One could believe the old adage about the grass being greener on the other side. But, if you're referring to the 'other side' of the Sanzu, the river between life and death, chances are it will be white, the color of a samurai's death robes. And a lot of that 'grass' was probably dispatched by the hand of Itto Ogami. The Yagyu 'grass,' spies planted for years in local citizenry, has been on the move, gathering in Edo for a final battle. The ronin Itto Ogami has walked a path of demons with Daigoro at his side, on a quest of vengeance and death that has shaken the very foundations of the samurai caste and the sh (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
