by Trevor Alixopulos Stylish, violent, and sordid, Mine Tonight is a story of individuals with high ideals but few scruples. Lukas is an amoral gun-for-hire who finds himself embroiled in the corrupt 2004 Presidential Election. Pulp noir blurs with autobiography as the lives of Lukas and Alixopulos intersect, from the heady chaos of 1999's WTO protest in Seattle to the moral fog of post-9/11 New York. The tricks of memory and the ambiguity of politics leaven the intrigue in a tale both intensely personal and as immediate as breaking news. Deftly mixing reality and fiction, love and blood, Mine Tonight paints a jittery portrait of our time. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by Chris Wright A compendium of comics and drawings by Chris Wright, this volume showcases Wright's idiosyncratic drawing style, and multi-layered narrative voice. In its brutality, and its compassion, the world of Inkweed displays the author's determination to create an aesthetic capable of disseminating an entire worldview. The book has loads of great drawing and whacked out stories, in a very European vein. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by Elijah Brubaker In this flashback issue, Wilhelm Reich relives his childhood traumas, which may be the source of his later obsessions. This is an interesting and unflinching analysis of Reich through simple biographical sketches, illustrating the importance of his parents and friends in his psychological make-up. The art is inspired by the German Expressionists printmaking and combines it with wonderful cartooning. (immagine) Categoria: Comics

by Trevor Alixopulos The Hot Breath of War takes seemingly unrelated episodes of life during wartime and entwines them into a signle narrative. This subtle and well-written novel explores love amid conflict and the seduction of violence itself. Alixopulos displays artistic abilities well beyond his years, and his stories offer some of the most thoughtful insights on the nature of war and its effect on human existence available to comic book readers. His drawings are loose and comfortable but sharp and graphic. The Hot Breath of War is perfect for fans of Joe Sacco or Jules Feiffer but stands as a unique work of graphic art.
