 Legacy isn't a dirty word...but it's an irrelevant one. It's not important what our parents did. It matters what WE do. Someone has to save the world. You're someone.
 Do the math. The critically acclaimed team of Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie reinvent the teen super hero comic for the 21st century, uniting Wiccan, Hulkling and Kate "Hawkeye" Bishop with Kid Loki, Marvel Boy and Ms. America. No pressure, right? As a figure from Loki's past emerges, Wiccan makes a horrible mistake that comes back to bite everyone on their communal posteriors. Fight scenes! Fake IDs! And plentiful feels! (aka "meaningful emotional character beats" for people who aren't on tumblr.) Young Avengers is as NOW! as the air in your lungs, and twice as vital. Hyperbole is the BEST! THING! EVER!

BLUESY LUCY EXISTENTIAL CHRONICLES HC


 Lucy has just turned 30, is single, and works as a graphic designer. Surrounded by a circle of married friends or ones starting families, she feels alone and hopeless. Determined to find "Mr. Right" who will solve all her problems, Lucy begins evaluating different suitors to various degrees of success and amid the often absurd situations that can only result from the quirks of everyday life.

CRIME DOES NOT PAY ARCHIVES HC VOL 05
CURING POSTMODERN BLUES READING GRANT MORRISON


Sequart Research & Literacy Organization (sequart.org) is proud to announce the release of its newest book of comics analysis, Curing the Postmodern Blues: Reading Grant Morrison and Chris Weston’s The Filth in the 21st Century by Tom Shapira.

Published in 2002-2003, The Filth is disgusting, deeply disturbing, and a comic-book masterpiece that inoculates readers against the problems of the postmodern condition. So says Shapira, who also explores The Filth’s relationship to Morrison’s The Invisibles, to the 1999 film The Matrix, to the work of Alan Moore, and much more.

The book includes exclusive interviews with Grant Morrison, Chris Weston, and inker Gary Erskine, plus art from Weston that was censored in the printed comic!

Curing the Postmodern Blues is part of Sequart’s growing library of Grant Morrison-related material, which also includes Timothy Callahan’s Grant Morrison: The Early Years, Patrick Meaney’s Our Sentence is Up: Seeing Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles, and the documentary film Grant Morrison: Talking with Gods.

About the Publisher: Sequart Research & Literacy Organization is a non-profit devoted to the study and promotion of comic books as a legitimate art form.  It publishes books and documentaries aimed at making comics scholarship accessible.  For more information, click here.
