Graphic Novel Roundup

Beat the mid-week slump with these great graphic novels:

KILLING & DYING by Adrian Tomine
A Publishers Weekly Most Anticipated Book of Fall 2015 and an Entertainment Weekly Fall Books pick! A woman who looks like an internet porn star, a man who keeps breaking into his former home, a stuttering girl who wants to be a stand-up comic; Tomine’s graphic story collection is an emotional meditation on mortality, family, and the creative life.

STEP ASIDE, POPS by Kate Beaton
A Publishers Weekly Fall 2015 Comics & Graphic Novels Top 10 pick! Beaton’s first collection was a sensation, and these comics are equally droll, brainy, and sometimes devastating. Her broadsides against clueless chauvinism are especially dead on.

NEIL GAIMAN’S TEKNOPHAGE by Rick Veitch & Bryan Talbot
Back in print after 20 years years and collected in one volume for the first time (also available in hardcover)! From The Phage Building, located on the planet Kahlighoul, The Teknophage, a 65 million year old reptile, plots and plans the expansion of his intergalactic empire. However, when he turns his sights towards Kahlighoul’s sister planet, Earth, the Teknophage encounters a source of resistance that he did not expect.

DEMOCRACY by Alecos Papadatos, Abraham Kawa, and Annie Di Donna
From a team including the artists of the New York Times bestseller LOGICOMIX, another entertaining and educational graphic delight focusing on the origins and rise of democracy.
