EMPLOYEE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 7/10!!

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S STAR WARS HC

(W) Ian Doescher (A) Nicolas Delort

 Full of feuding royalty, family melodrama, comical fools, and fantastic creatures, Star Wars has always been the most Shakespearean of Hollywood blockbusters. Now it's presented in a manner that Shakespeare himself would recognize - with classic iambic pentameter and Elizabethan-style stage directions. Fans will love the Star Wars jokes and Shakespearean flourishes (R2-D2 launches into dramatic soliloquies whenever the other characters leave the stage). Text will be accompanied by fantastic Elizabethan woodcut illustrations of Chewbacca, C-3PO, and more.

Springing from the confluence of reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies in the same summer as attending the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Ian Doescher presents the mashup you never knew you wanted, William Shakespeare's Star Wars. Portland-based Doesher has brought upon this world a retelling of the greatest epic of the modern world as may have been presented by the greatest poet of the Old World. -

EMPLOYEE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 6/26!!

X-MEN #2

(W) Brian Wood A) Oliver Coipel

 • The school is on lockdown...but if the bad guys can't get out, neither can the X-Men!
•  John Sublime is back, but is one of the X-Men's scariest villains not who we should be afraid of?
•  Who or what is Arkea?

Ok, look, I know its the X-Men, I know how much crap I talk about them, but...damn. That first issue was friggin' gorgeous!! Coipel sets up what should be the definitive look for these fabulously amazing X-Women with a sense pizazz and style that you can't help but flip through the book 50,000 times, trying to understand the magic and skill of Oliver Coipel! Plus, Jubilee finally looks like an awesome anime kid instead of some 90s Disney movie reject from Southern California.

BACK ISSUE OF THE DAY!!!

WILDCATS (1999) #7

(W) Scott Lobdell  (A) Carlos Meglia

One of the most frenetic and underrated artists in the business, Carlos Meglia passed away in 2008, but his work lives on and I was pleased to uncover an issue of Wildcats he did back in 2000. Meglia has a really great animation style that is rough around the edges and filled with an undeniable energy that drags you deep into his quirky world of angular awesomeness.

Obviously, this image isn't from the comic, but you get the idea of his art.

MARA #2

(W) Brian Wood  (A) Ming Doyle

As superstar athlete Mara Prince's superpower manifestation is caught on live TV, her life rapidly starts to spiral out of control. The media descends like vultures. Her handlers go into spin mode. The footage is seen around the world, and this young woman, who only hours ago was the darling of pop culture, is now being slammed and ridiculed for being a fraud and a liar. But the more she tries to fight back, the only thing she's doing is escalating the problem. A sci-fi take on real world superheroes by the powerhouse team of BRIAN WOOD, MING DOYLE and JORDIE BELLAIRE!

Written and illustrated by Patrick Scullin and filled with more nerdy references than you can shake a lightsaber at, this weekly webcomic is now available as a kickstarter funded graphic novel that will look great on your bookshelf next to those copies of Tiny Titans!
