Not everyone needs a license to fight for justice! In a
superpowered society, there is nothing ordinary about evil anymore.
Heroes, trained and licensed to protect and defend the public
against supervillains, stand above all the rest. Not everyone can
be a hero, however, and there are those who would use their powers
to serve the people without legal sanction. But do they fight for
justice in the shadows, or for reasons known only to themselves?
Whatever they fight for, they are called...vigilantes. Pop has
emerged as the new Queen Bee, her transformation forced upon her by
the villainous Nomura, a.k.a. Number 6. At his direction, Pop
begins to rain destruction down on Naruhata. With a villain on the
loose, it's only natural for heroes to be called in to deal with
the situation, but Koichi knows his friend's life and soul are at
stake. Will inspiration from his old master and training with past
foes help him find the hero within?
A blood-spattered battle between diabolical sorcerers and the
monsters they created. In a city so dismal it's known only as "the
Hole," a clan of Sorcerers has been plucking people off the streets
to use as guinea pigs for atrocious "experiments" in the black
arts. In a dark alley, Nikaido found Caiman, a man with a reptile
head and a bad case of amnesia. To undo the spell, they're hunting
and killing the Sorcerers in the Hole, hoping that eventually
they'll kill the right one. But when En, the head Sorcerer, gets
word of a lizard-man slaughtering his people, he sends a crew of
"cleaners" into the Hole, igniting a war between two worlds. The
Hole can be hell - even for powerful sorcerers. In this volume,
Nikaido probes deeper into her past in search of answers. The
remnants of the En family continue their attempts to revive their
slain leader. And Fujita's mission into the heart of enemy
territory takes a terrifying turn. Plus: watch Nikaido make gyoza
again!
When two cultures collide, the results are explosive--a graphic
novel rom-com like no other! Halina Mitchell is half-Filipino,
half-American. She's also a native New Yorker--sophisticated,
beautiful and confident. On her first visit to the Philippines, she
arrives in Manila to reconnect with relatives only to encounter a
world of surprises that turn all her assumptions on their head.
With the intrepid film critic Cris as her guide, she discovers a
Manila that few others get to see! Cris's wry takes on bad movies
offer Halina a new lens on the modern world as he whisks her
through his hometown at breakneck speed--including a crash course
in Manila street life and the thrills and perils of midnight
driving. In turn, Halina gives the struggling writer a newfound
appreciation for his city. Perfect for fans of "opposites attract"
romances like Fangs and The Prince and the Dressmaker, this book
offers a rom-com take on modern life and a touching story of
friendship, love and crosscultural (mis)understanding from a
renowned graphic novel pioneer. Captured in Arre's distinctive
style, Halina Filipina is about finding one's place in the
world--or in two worlds at once!
