From critically acclaimed comic book writer Joshua Hale Fialkov
(The Bunker, Echoes, and I, Vampire) and superstar artists Bernard
Chang and Marcelo Maiolo (Green Lantern Corps, Batman Beyond) comes
a postapocalyptic action/adventure comedy. King just wants what
anybody wants: not to get fired, eaten, or forced to mate with a
cheetah lady. For Earth's sole human survivor after the apocalypse,
life among Los Angeles's strange new populace ain't easy. Working
for the LA Department of Reclamation, King gets a lot of crappy
jobs going on quests and searching for artifacts from the "old
world," which can range from the mythical (Excalibur!) to the
absurd (an iPod shuffle-which, let's be honest, was a terrible,
terrible invention). The commute can be a real pain in the asphalt,
too; the 405 freeway is filled with mutants, monsters, mayhem, and
tentacled Elder Gods. And that's all before you hit the horrors of
the San Fernando Valley. As the world's freakish inhabitants battle
for supremacy, King searches for the "seed of life," which may give
Earth the second chance it probably doesn't even deserve.
Introducing the newest hero in the DC Universe, the great sage,
equal to the heavens, better than his predecessor the legendary
Monkey King, even better than the Justice League-and definitely the
Teen Titans-(actually, all the heroes combined), everyone put your
hands together for...the Monkey Prince! Marcus Sun moves around a
lot because his adoptive parents are freelance henchpeople, so this
month he finds himself as the new kid at Gotham City High School,
where a mysterious man with pig features asks Marcus to walk
through a water curtain to reveal his real self...someone who has
adventured through The Journey to the West, can transform into 72
different formations, can clone himself using his hairs, and is
called...the Monkey Prince! From the team of New Super-Man and
American Born Chinese writer Gene Luen Yang and Teen Titans and
Green Lantern Corps artist Bernard Chang, meet an all-new Chinese
American DC hero, with roots in centuries-old mythology and ties to
the current DCU! This volume collects The Monkey Prince #1-6, and a
story from DC Festival of Heroes: The Asian Superhero Celebration.
Gene Luen Yang and Bernard Chang continue the adventures of your
new favorite DC character Monkey Prince! After Monkey Prince finds
the jingu bang staff, he realizes controlling it is a whole
different problem! It has now stretched so large and long that it
has become a nuisance to Atlantis, and so Aquaman goes to find who
is responsible for this ginormous golden staff that destroyed so
much of his city. The good news is, the Jingu bang can shrink back
to normal size, but only the Monkey King is worthy enough to wield
its magical properties-will the staff recognize Monkey Prince as
good enough to do the same? Sea dragons, the trench, Atlanteans,
and Blank Manta's army all clash with Monkey Prince and Shifu Pigsy
at the center of it all! Tchk tchk thck, pesky jingu bang staff!
Collects Monkey Prince #7-12, Lazarus Planet: Alpha #1, and Lazarus
Planet: Omega #1!

Claudia Corvette. From her tousled bedroom hair to her name - all
the porn stars in this world take their names from supermodels and
sports cars - she is adult entertainment's prototypical femme
fatale. Her life is the collision of countless troubled - childhood
cliches and grown-up wet dreams, projected onto her as surely as
her videos project their blue light onto lonely men around the
world. From its first panel, "How to Make Money Like a Porn Star"
draws the reader into the dark world of girls like Claudia, the men
who fantasizes about them, and the monsters who control them. In
the hands of "Rolling Stones" writer Neil Strauss and illustrator
Bernard Chang, this adult graphic novel weaves together black
humour and blacker reality. Like all great American stories, it
features humble beginnings, life-changing tragedy, stripping,
abuse, implants, fame, addiction, bigger implants, abduction,
gunplay, downfall, and even bigger implants. Not to mention a
thousand shades of latex and L'Oreal. Part parody, part morality
tale, here is the truth about the porn life, its outsized visual
splendour captured in a comic parade of doe-eyed centrefolds, its
essence distilled in a story that will haunt every reader who has
ever wondered where his next fantasy is coming from.
