Lillian the Legend
Lilian the legend tells the story if lillian, a russian immigrant who travels by any means necessary (walk, train, etc) from New York to Alaska. The beauty of this book is how the medium of sequential art captures the dram, heartache and determination with direct lines and focused storytelling. Lillian's plight could be an epic film prime for an oscar win, but presented as a graphic novel it is all the more personal. and.. it is a true story..

cla$$war
Cla$$war is another superhero story for grown ups by Com-x. A chaotic establishing challenging 21st century deconstruction. A 00's Watchmen. The nationalism that arose in the post 9/11 is the perfect target for superhero fiction. Cla$$war uses a superhero to represent the american spirit. a spirit that transcends the efforts of those in charge to distort it and make it ugly. It's a spirit of rebelliouness and indivudality that cannot be distilled or manipulated. we will not abide being lied to. once again comics prove to be a great medium for examining the times we live in.
