An adult graphic novel with a hilarious and satirical take on the 'gig economy' as the residents of Fairhaven constantly hire the nearest monster hunter to keep their lives somewhat peaceful and intact. Based on the smash-hit audio serial, Bubble is a hilarious high-energy graphic novel with a satirical take on the 'gig economy.' Built and maintained by corporate benevolence, the city of Fairhaven is a literal bubble of safety and order (and amazing coffee) in the midst of the Brush, a harsh alien wilderness ruled by monstrous Imps and rogue bands of humans. Humans like Morgan, who's Brush-born and Bubble-raised and fully capable of fending off an Imp attack during her morning jog. She's got a great routine going-she has a chill day job, she recreationally kills the occasional Imp, then she takes that Imp home for her roommate and BFF, Annie, to transform into drugs as a side hustle. But cracks appear in her tidy life when one of those Imps nearly murders a delivery guy in her apartment, accidentally transforming him into a Brush-powered mutant in the process. And when Morgan's company launches Huntr, a gig economy app for Imp extermination, she finds herself press-ganged into kicking her stabby side job up to the next level as she battles a parade of monsters and monstrously Brush-turned citizens, from a living hipster beard to a book club hive mind.

Homicide, the celebrated true crime-book from the creator of HBO's The Wire, is reenvisioned in this first volume of a gritty, cinematic graphic novel duology. In 1988, journalist David Simon was given unprecedented access to the Baltimore Police Department's homicide unit. Over the next twelve months, he shadowed detectives as they took on a slew of killings in a city where killings were common. Only the most heinous cases stood out-chief amongst them, the rape and murder of eleven-year-old Latonya Wallace. Originally published in 1991, Simon's Homicide became the basis for the acclaimed television show Homicide: Life on the Streets and inspired HBO's The Wire. Now, this true-crime classic is reimagined as a gritty two-part graphic novel series. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

A middle grade graphic memoir following a young girl who undergoes a crisis of conscience, realizing that she is a 'bad sister.' Being older is better. Being older is power. Charise knows this, and she isn't afraid to use that knowledge. Whether it's her favorite toy car, affection from the family cat, or time to sit on her mom's lap, Charise gets what she wants. She doesn't mean to hurt her little brother, Daniel, in the process, but if he stands in her way, he's going to get what he deserves. Of course, just because Charise is older than Daniel doesn't mean that she is wiser than him. In fact, if Charise can learn to open her heart before she hurts him in a way that she can't take back, she might discover that her little brother has the greatest power of all.
