'the last' that are written and illustrated by the team of Rocco

with the poetic to deliver their haunting tales.

Marvel UK's greatest heroes come together for the first time in 20
years to face a threat that could destroy the world. Featuring
Captain Britain, Pete Wisdom, Death's Head II, Motormouth and
Killpower, the Warheads and a host of British heroes.
Humanity’s greatest heroes battle the gods for the survival of the human race! Once every millennium, the gods assemble to decide if humanity is worthy of its continued existence or if it should be destroyed! When the verdict is destruction, the final battle between the gods and mortal heroes will decide the survival or extinction of the human race—a battle known as Ragnarok! Hades may be the King of Helheim and one of the gods’ most powerful champions, but his opponent in round seven, Qin Shi Huang, proves to be much more formidable than anyone expected! However, the human champion’s sublime fighting techniques take a surprising toll on him, and victory is not guaranteed. What happened in Qin Shi Huang’s past that made him prefer to fight blindfolded?
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.
An action-packed thriller and source of the hit Netflix drama where
the only way to survive is to play the game! Eighteen-year-old
Ryohei Arisu is sick of his life. School sucks, his love life is a
joke, and his future weighs on him like impending doom. As he
struggles to exist in a world that can't be bothered with him,
Ryohei feels like everything would be better if he were anywhere
else. When a strange fireworks show transports him and his friends
to a parallel world, Ryohei thinks all his wishes have come true.
But this new world isn't an empty paradise, it's a vicious game.
And the only way to survive is to play. The Beach has turned into a
killing ground as Aguni and his men use the witch-hunt game as an
excuse to take out everyone in sight. Arisu and his friends must
race to understand the logic behind the game and identify the real
witch before they join the growing pile of Aguni's victims!
Who is the Ghost Who Walks... also known as the Phantom? Over four
hundred years ago, a cabin boy to Admiral Christopher Columbus grew
to become an explorer and a mighty sea captain... but unfortunately
met his end as he fell prey to pirates, leaving his son alone. As
the lone survivor of a pirate attack, the young man swore to devote
his life to the destruction of cruelty and injustice...as the
nemesis of pirates everywhere He was the first to take upon himself
the title of the Phantom His son and his son's sons-generation
after generation-succeeded him in the crusade. Their faces masked,
they were loners who lived lives of mystery and danger... moving in
and out of shadows... stalking... feared by evil-doers
everywhere... Thus generations of Phantoms lived, fought, and
died-usually violently-as they followed their oath. Jungle folk,
sea folk, and city folk believed him always to be the same man, and
so the legend grew-the legend of Kit Walker... the
Man-Who-Cannot-Die... the Ghost Who Walks... the Phantom Only the
pygmies knew that, always, a day would come when their great friend
would lie dying. Then, alone, a strong young son would carry his
father to the burial crypt of his ancestors where all the Phantoms
rested. As the pygmies waited outside, the young man would emerge
from the cave, wearing the mask, the costume and the skull ring of
the Phantom upon his strong hand; his carefree days as the
Phantom's son over. Then the pygmies would chant their age-old
chant, "The Phantom is dead. Long live the Phantom." This story of
"The Legend of the Phantom" is the story of the father of the first
Phantom and an adventure of the Phantom of our time as he discovers
his roots, heritage and the origin of his rings. To good people and
criminals alike, in the jungle, on the seven seas, and in the
cities of the world, he is known as the Phantom; the Ghost Who
Walks... the Man Who Cannot Die
