Japanese manga comic books have attracted a devoted global
following. In the popular press manga is said to have "invaded" and
"conquered" the United States, and its success is held up as a
quintessential example of the globalization of popular culture
challenging American hegemony in the twenty-first century. In Manga
in America - the first ever book-length study of the history,
structure, and practices of the American manga publishing industry
- Casey Brienza explodes this assumption. Drawing on extensive
field research and interviews with industry insiders about
licensing deals, processes of translation, adaptation, and
marketing, new digital publishing and distribution models, and
more, Brienza shows that the transnational production of culture is
an active, labor-intensive, and oft-contested process of
"domestication." Ultimately, Manga in America argues that the
domestication of manga reinforces the very same imbalances of
national power that might otherwise seem to have been transformed
by it and that the success of Japanese manga in the United States
actually serves to make manga everywhere more American.

This book features a series of short stories under the theme of
'the last' that are written and illustrated by the team of Rocco
Bosco and Darran Jordan. The last soldier faces a different kind of
war, the last bullet is fired in an attempt to save lives, the last
supper is served to a changeable beast and the last flower finally
blooms. These are experimental black and white comics that play
with the poetic to deliver their haunting tales.
Once dead, twelve heroes and villains were resurrected by a white
light expelled deep within the centre of the earth. Now, Aquaman,
Martian Manhunter, Firestorm, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Deadman, Jade,
Osiris, Hawk, Captain Boomerang and Zoom must discover the
mysterious reason behind their return and uncover the secret that
binds them all. Featuring work from some of the hottest artists in
the industry, including Ivan Reis, Patrick Gleason, Fernando
Pasarin and Ardian Syaf, the entire BRIGHTEST DAY storyline is now
available in one complete hardcover omnibus.
