The adventure is over but life goes on for an elf mage just beginning to learn what living is all about.
Elf mage Frieren and her courageous fellow adventurers have defeated the Demon King and brought peace to the land. But Frieren will long outlive the rest of her former party. How will she come to understand what life means to the people around her?
Years before the end of the war against the Demon King, Macht, the most powerful of the Seven Sages of Destruction, made a deal with the lord of the fortress city of Weise in an attempt to understand human emotions. Although the deal was at first beneficial to both sides, Macht eventually transformed the entire city and all of its residents into gold. Now, the strange tale of Macht, the fate of Weise, and Denken’s own past will all lead Frieren and her companions to one of their most difficult confrontations yet.
A new brand of superhero from the rich lore of Philippine myth! In
this spellbinding action-adventure from Arnold Arre--the great
master of the graphic novel, the age-old divide between good and
evil widens. Catch a glimpse of a Manila privy to only a few of the
supernatural and magically inclined, while following a superhero
born and raised by its streets in The World of Andong Agimat. In a
world yearning for stability, a renegade force arrives, spreading
chaos amidst the populace in the form of a gruesome plague. This is
when the world needs Andong Agimat--an ex-gang leader turned
vigilante with superpowers bestowed unto him by his mysterious
amulet. He cooperates with the police and helps them keep Manila's
underground, steeped-in magic and the supernatural, in check, but
the people of Manila live in growing fear as acts of terrorism are
committed by a cult growing within the city. Follow Andong as he
uncovers this violent cult's scheme, which threatens the very
balance of the world. He trudges through the underbelly of Manila,
teaming up with old friends, and even old rivals, to put an end to
this cult's evil plans. Can Andong Agimat and his talisman's secret
powers repel the forces of chaos?
Inspired by a true story, this graphic novel follows a Jewish immigrant’s efforts to help his Japanese neighbors while they're incarcerated during World War II.
An evocative and beautiful graphic novel revealing the truth of one man’s extraordinary efforts, We Are Not Strangers converges two perspectives into a single portrait of a community’s struggle with race, responsibility, and what it truly means to be an American.
Marco Calvo always knew his grandfather, affectionately called Papoo, was a good man. After all, he was named for him. A first-generation Jewish immigrant, Papoo was hardworking, smart, and caring.
When Papoo peacefully passes away, Marco expects the funeral to be simple. But he' caught off guard by something unusual. Among his close family and friends are mourners he doesn’t recognize—Japanese American families—and no one is quite sure who they are or why they are at the service. How did these strangers know his grandfather so well?
Set in the multicultural Central District of Seattle during World War II and inspired by author Josh Tuininga’s family experiences, We Are Not Strangers explores a unique situation of Japanese and Jewish Americans living side by side in a country at war.
Following Papoo’s perspective, we learn of his life as a Sephardic Jewish immigrant and his friendship with Sam Akiyama, a Japanese man whose life is upended by Executive Order 9066, which authorized the incarceration of nearly all Japanese Americans and residents of Japanese ancestry. Determined to keep Sam’s business afloat while he and his family are unjustly imprisoned, he and Papoo create a plan that will change the Akiyama’s lives forever.
Kafka wants to clean up kaiju, but not literally! Will a sudden
metamorphosis stand in the way of his dream? With the highest
kaiju-emergence rates in the world, Japan is no stranger to attack
by deadly monsters. Enter the Japan Defense Force, a military
organization tasked with the neutralization of kaiju. Kafka Hibino,
a kaiju-corpse cleanup man, has always dreamed of joining the
force. But when he gets another shot at achieving his childhood
dream, he undergoes an unexpected transformation. How can he fight
kaiju now that he's become one himself?! Kafka manages to fight off
a humanoid kaiju, rescuing Iharu and Reno. But before he can change
back to his human form, Kafka is spotted by Defense Force officers,
and the neutralization unit-led by none other than Vice-Captain
Hoshina himself-is dispatched to dispose of him. Can Kafka
withstand his superior officer's attacks without revealing his true
identity?!
The graphic novel that inspired the hit Warner Bros. motion picture
and DVD from the Wachowski Bros., the directors of THE MATRIX films
and SPEED RACER. In the near future, England has become a corrupt,
totalitarian state, opposed only by V, the mystery man wearing a
white porcelain mask who intends to free the masses through absurd
acts of terrorism.
