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.
An ever-increasing malice. A mind-numbing terror. The seeds of
horror are sown in this collection of Junji Ito's earliest works. A
vengeful family hides an army deserter for eight years after the
end of World War II, cocooning him in a false reality where the war
never ended. A pair of girls look alike, but they're not twins. And
a boy's nightmare threatens to spill out into the real world...
This hauntingly strange story collection showcases a dozen of Junji
Ito's earliest works from when he burst onto the horror scene,
sowing fresh seeds of terror.
Something has gone horribly wrong with the perfect life that Scott
and his wife, Big Barda, have made for themselves on Earth. With
war raging between their homeworlds of Apokolips and New Genesis,
Scott s cruel adoptive father, Darkseid, seems to have finally
found the Anti-Life Equation the weapon that will give him total
victory. As the mountains of bodies on both sides grow ever higher,
only Mister Miracle can stop the slaughter and restore peace. But
the terrible power of the Anti-Life Equation may already be at work
in his own mind, warping his reality and shattering the fragile
happiness he s found with the woman he loves. Is death the trap
that s been waiting for him all along? Or is it life itself? And
what price will Scott Free have to pay to learn the answer?
Collects Mister Miracle #1-12 along with bonus content in an all
new delux hardcover format!
