A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts

Publisher: Oni Press
ISBN-13: 979-8894883182

From writer and colourist extraordinaire Oliver Mertz (The MonumentsFirst Law of Mad Science) and acclaimed artist Alex Diotto (YouthIndigo Children) comes a weird tale of conspiracy, faded superheroics, and suburban angst in ’90s Washington, D.C.

Sixteen-year-old Ari Ackerman just witnessed a murder. Or two. Or maybe he didn’t. He’s not quite sure. What he does know is that he loves the Washington, D.C., punk scene and is trying very hard to process the perpetual impending death (and frequent resurrections) of his cancer-stricken father. Ari’s best friend, Maya Meng, just wants to hang out and go see Jawbox play at the Black Cat. But sadly, an escalating series of unexplained deaths can really ruin a perfectly good day.

The Complete Crepax: Surreal Stories Volume 10

Publisher: Fantagraphics
ISBN-13: 979-8875001642

These erotic comics stories, spanning 1968–1991, chronicle the surreal adventures of Bianca. Introduced in the aptly named “An Expansive Story,” the first two-thirds of this volume, Bianca appears to be trapped in (or haunted by?) a gothic boarding school, whose administrators and pupils have untoward and sinister designs. Bianca will bounce back and forth between this school and dreamscape after dreamscape–she becomes a plant, talks to fish while diving under the sea, is served up on a silver platter, thrown out with the garbage, witnesses a double homicide, and much more–unfazed as she contorts into ever-more-absurd scenarios. Then, Bianca faces the trials and tribulations of Gulliver before she hands the baton to Valentina, Crepax’s most famous heroine. Who, feeling introspective, “speaks” to both Bianca and Crepax before modelling in a spectacular, full-colour “fashion dream.”

After Japan lost the War, the country was thrown into devastation. No one felt this devastation as much as Japanese women, who, left with few paths to choose from, took low-wage jobs, fell into sex work, and wed American G.I.s. In their affecting graphic novel debut, Marina Lisa Komiya follows the lives of two Japanese women and the American soldiers they marry in this tumultuous time period. Best friends (and possibly lovers) before the War, Haru and Yoriko are separated in the evacuation of their town during the air raids. As they search for each other afterward, Haru gets by as a waitress, while Yoriko sells her body at a brothel. Their fortunes change when they each meet respectful American soldiers, who take their hand. Arthur, a Japanese American, grapples with the inner conflict of his dual identity, while Scott is at once fascinated by Japanese culture and wracked with guilt over the destruction American forces have wrought. Amidst the postwar desolation, love and understanding finds a way, in this powerful work of manga that explores sexuality, identity, and unlikely cross-cultural connection.

When best friends Willa and Wade discover that there may be spies among them, they decide to see if they can spot any in their neighbourhood. Of course, they don’t want to be noticed. So they disguise themselves in belted trenchcoats, tipped fedoras and sunglasses. They make sure to act calm and casual as they nonchalantly survey the scene. And they are stealthy when interrogating suspicious-looking characters. Even so, their investigation turns up no spies. However, the rest of the neighbourhood now seems to be whispering about them …

Judith Henderson delivers another amusing story about two lovable bird friends who are always trying new things and learning together. This whimsical graphic novel series for early readers promotes being curious and staying optimistic, no matter what happens.

Key to their appeal is the friendship between the two birds, who always listen to and support the other’s ideas, and who thoroughly enjoy investigating the world together. Children will love being in on how obvious the pair are while trying to go undercover, and simple illustrations by Sara Sarhangpour provide visual cues that complement the story. This title is excellent for teaching critical-thinking skills and for character-education lessons on perseverance, adaptability and teamwork.

John Of The Night
Author: Darryl Cunningham
Publisher: Avery Hill Publishing
ISBN-13: 978-1917355339

A scientist races against a god‑killing cult, cosmic collapse, and his witch‑queen ex‑wife to save creation – even if it costs him the person he loves most.

At the centre of all creation lies Far Eternity, where universes converge and reality is kept in balance. Scientist John of the Night and his daughter Ayshea uncover a plot by The Perfection – a fanatical cult – to kill God and reboot the “flawed” multiverse into something supposedly perfect. As if that’s not enough, Medea – Ayshea’s mother and a witch‑queen with a flair for drama – plans to sacrifice her to recharge her magic and avert an invasion. With cosmic forces closing in, John faces an impossible choice: save Ayshea or risk the collapse of all existence.

Inspired by Jack Kirby’s grand cosmic epics, John of the Night blends humour, myth, and multiversal mayhem with themes of sacrifice, destiny, and the baffling indifference of higher powers. A cosmic adventure driven by a fraught but fiercely loyal father–daughter bond against reality‑shattering odds.

Kai has returned to Lag Village a hero. But glory sits uneasily on his shoulders, and before long he retreats to the solitude of his hidden valley. There, the surviving Macaque tribe seek an audience. As the Great God of the Valley, they believe Kai is the only being capable of purging the dark god whose corruption is poisoning their lands. Feeling the weight of the Arbitration God’s power, Kai must confront what it truly means to bear divine authority. But the impending fight becomes more complicated when a deranged Macaque warrior princess and a colossal three-tailed wolf god join the fray. Will they prove to be allies or enemies? One thing is for sure, defeating this evil god will demand more than strength alone.
