Path of the Assassin Volume 9: Battle For Power Part One
The world of samurai and ninja is not just killing, politics, intrigue and actioin. It's also about family, spirit, love and sex. If there were ever an issue of Path of the Assassin that could be entitled "the sex issue," this would probably be it. Not just the act of sex, but the feelings, doubts, methods, results and politics of sex. The results can mean a son or daughter fated to the politics of advantage and danger. The doubts can lead to an unfocused mind. The methods can be a resullt of doubt, but can be there own distraction as well. The feelings can be good, bad, and ugly. And all of these elements amount to the politics of sex. However, if you fear that all this talk of sex means this volume of Path of the Assassin lacks the the expected swordplay, gushing blood, and drama you've come to love, well please don't worry. Rather the sexplay only provides a framework for those standards, making for an oddly exciting volume of our samurai/ninja tale of conquest. As always, pocket size and full of the best in gekiga, Koike and Kojima's Path of the Assassin continues with a fever.

Path of the Assassin Volume 10: Battle For Power Part Two
«Se puede ser un filólogo magistral y al mismo tiempo escribir como los ángeles. Irene Vallejo riza el rizo de la comunicación hasta convertir su diálogo con el lector en una fiesta literaria.» LUIS ALBERTO DE CUENCA La sociedad contemporánea vive inmersa en la inmediatez. Prioriza, ante todo, lo nuevo y lo superficial; no tiene tiempo para detenerse a cavilar ni para mirar hacia atrás. Por fortuna, libros como este nos invitan a hacer una pausa para darle espacio a las ideas,a dialogar con las voces que antes de nosotros se plantearon nuestras mismas preguntas. En la columna que publica semana a semana en el Heraldo, y de la cual provienen los luminosos ensayos que aquí se recuperan, Irene Vallejo reflexiona sobre las distintas formas en que el presente está ligado a nuestra historia. Su prosa clara, su inquieta curiosidad y la ferviente pasión con que se asoma a la sabiduría clásica son un grato recordatorio de que la antigüedadsigue viva hoy en nosotros, y de que la historia no es un proceso lineal, sino un diálogo intemporal en constante desarrollo.

Black Comix Returns
In 2010, Professor John Jennings and Dr. Damian Duffy compiled and published a 176-page collection of art and essays celebrating the vibrant African American independent comics community. Black Comix featured over 50 contributors, including Dawud Anyabwile, Eric Battle, Kenji Marshall, Afua Richardson, Larry Stroman, Rob Stull, Lance Tooks, and many, many more. It met high praise throughout the industry and quickly sold through its respectable print run despite interest and demandused copies now fetch $60-150 on Amazon and eBay. Flash-forward eightyears: the comic industry has changed a lot since then, and the amount of African American talent continues to grow and amaze. While huge strides in diversity have been made, John and Damian felt the time was right for another spotlight on the topic. Rather than simply reprinting the first edition, considering the number of fresh new voices and changes in the industry, a whole new volume felt necessary. This massive volume will be a brand-new milestone spotlight on the amazing diversity in comics today.
