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.

A mad young coach gathers soccer players from across the country to
compete in a series of bizarre challenges in a high-tech colosseum
he calls Blue Lock. It's a no-balls-barred battle to become Japan's
next top striker, in this Squid Game–meets–World Cup manga, now
available in print! Anime airing now! The newly formed team of
Isagi, Nagi, and Barou head to their next rival battle, where they
face Kunigami, Chigiri, and Reo. Isagi knows their victory will
depend on the team's ability to form a "chemical reaction" with
their play styles. Isagi and Nagi have a fluid synergy, but Barou
seems to be chafing against his new teammates... Who will emerge
victorious from the battle of egos?!
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.
It's the 15th century and the Archbishop of Canterbury, worried
over impending legislation that would effectively rob the Church in
England of its power and wealth, convinces Henry V to forego this
pursuit in favour of laying claim to France. This title presents
the historic tale of war and peace between England and France in
the reign of Henry V.
