CROSSED TP VOL 11

 The Crossed universe is an unyielding nightmare vision of animal depravity and homicidal insanity.  In this volume, two of the industry's best new talents come together to tell very different stories of despair.  Simon Spurrier takes you to a picturesque environment in the English countryside with tweeting birds, friendly vicars, crumpets and jam, and a mob of Crossed lurking near the duck pond.  No one sees Wheezy the fat asthmatic kid hiding up in the old tower but if he shows his face it will only be the farmer's wife between him and a bloody fate.  The problem is, she's Crossed too.  And newly-Crossed Justin Jordan tells his first diabolical tale as two women attempt to escape the band of monsters out for their blood.  When a mysterious unseen Samaritan helps them escape to a sanctuary it seems as though they've found what little safety there is in the new world order.  But trusting anyone in the world of Crossed usually leads to a gut-wrenching and miserable end.  Crossed Vol 11 TP collects Crossed 2014 Annual and issues #57 - 61 of the ongoing Crossed: Badlands comic book series.

WONDER WOMAN BONDAGE FEMINISM IN COMICS 1941-48 SC

 William Marston was an unusual man - a psychologist, a soft-porn pulp novelist, more than a bit of a carny, and the (self-declared) inventor of the lie detector. He was also the creator of Wonder Woman, the comic that he used to express two of his greatest passions: feminism and women in bondage. Comics expert Noah Berlatsky takes us on a wild ride through the Wonder Woman comics of the 1940s, vividly illustrating how Marston's many quirks and contradictions, along with the odd disproportionate composition created by illustrator Harry Peter, produced a comic that was radically ahead of its time in terms of its bold presentation of female power and sexuality.

Children will find out how the daughter of an Amazon queen grew up to become a protector of mankind, with a mission to teach peace and kindness to all.
