No one said protecting a city like Gotham would be easy. Still
relatively early in her tenure as GCPD commissioner, Renee Montoya
sets out to rebuild her department and restore public faith in the
historically troubled PD during some of the worst conditions it s
ever seen. But Renee can t do it alone in order for her plan to
work, everyone from the topmost officials all the way down to the
most fresh-faced new officers must contend with the harsh realities
of being a symbol of law and order in a city of super-powered
saviors and superhuman lawlessness. From the stellar team of
Academy Award-winning writer John Ridley and artist Stefano
Raffaele. This collection is a thought-provoking and riveting story
of everyday people trying to do good in the midst of a flawed
system. GCPD: The Blue Wall collects the entire six-issue
miniseries.
The bestselling author of "Those Who Walk in Darkness" delivers the
second book of his action-packed series, featuring top LAPD
mutant-hunter Soledad O'Roark, who teams up with rival Eddi Aoki
when a vigilante starts killing metanormals without mercy.
Original.
Soledad "Bullet" O'Roark writes her own rules. Usually it gets her
in trouble. On her first day with the L.A.P.D.'s elite Mtac squad,
Soledad takes down an outlawed super-powered freak with a weapon
she designed herself-a definite violation. Her love life is no less
chaotic. It's hard to find a decent guy with nothing to hide. But
there's not much room in Soledad's life for romance when a
cop-killer is on the loose. The "baddest" freak of all, this one
can control people's minds and make them commit anything he
wants... including murder.
Young Jackie Mann knew one sure thing-the only way for a black man to achieve respect in 1950s America was to succeed no matter what the cost. And his ambition would take him from poverty and abuse in Harlem all the way to Las Vegas and Hollywood, where Sinatra, the Rat Pack, and the mob reigned supreme. But on the verge of superstardom, Jackie must choose between making it through the ultimate sellout-or gain true respect by risking it all… One of a unique new breed of writers, novelist and screenwriter John Ridley cross-wires genres, boundaries, and audience expectations to stunning effect. A CONVERSATION WITH THE MANN is his most evocative, brilliantly detailed, and unforgettable vision yet.
The Oscar-winning screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave returns for an
all-new chapter in his alternate history of The American Way! In
1962 Jason Fisher was given astonishing powers by the United States
government--powers he used to defend the nation as the New
American. He and his teammates in the Civil Defense Corps were
real-life superheroes. Except that it was all a fraud. A
conspiracy. And now, 10 years after the CDC was torn apart by
racism, infighting and murder, the Corps' surviving members find
themselves pulled in very different directions. Missy
Devereaux--a.k.a. Ole Miss--is transitioning from the First Lady of
Mississippi into a candidate for governor and defender of a
vanishing and hateful way of life. Amber Eaton--formerly known as
Amber Waves--has become a domestic terrorist, using her powers to
infiltrate and destroy the country's centers of power. Somewhere in
the middle stands Jason Fisher, who has remained a crime-fighter
even as evidence mounts that he is accomplishing nothing besides
propping up a system that's rigged against him as a black man in
America. In a nation being torn apart, what does it mean to fight
for the American way? A decade after the debut of their
groundbreaking WildStorm series The American Way, Academy
Award-winning writer John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, American Crime)
and artist Georges Jeanty (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8)
revisit their parallel Earth for a look at its gritty 1970s--a time
frighteningly like our own--in The American Way: Those Above and
Those Below. Collects issues #1-6.
Mapping closely to how ore deposit geology is now taught, this
textbook systematically describes and illustrates the major ore
deposit types, linking this to their settings in the crust, and the
geological factors behind their formation. Written for advanced
undergraduate and graduate students with a basic background in the
geosciences, it provides a balance of practical information and
coverage of the relevant geological sciences, including
petrological, geochemical, hydrological and tectonic processes.
Important theory is summarized without unnecessary detail and
integrated with students' learning in other topics, including
magmatic processes and sedimentary geology, enabling students to
make links across the geosciences. Students are supported by
further reading, a comprehensive glossary, and problems and review
questions that test the application of theoretical approaches and
encourage students to use what they have learnt. A website includes
visual resources and combines with the book to provide students and
instructors with a complete learning package.
