bride-to-be has some unexpected company in tow--Yon, a ghastly-looking

A brilliantly illustrated journey through the wonders and mysteries of
the human brain - from a renowned husband-and-wife team of cognitive
neuroscientists.
Professors and husband-and-wife team Uta and Chris Frith have pioneered
major studies of brain disorders throughout their nearly fifty-year career.
In Two Heads, their distinguished careers serve as a prism through which
they share the compelling story of the birth of neuroscience and their
paradigm-shifting discoveries across areas as wide-ranging as autism and
schizophrenia research, and new frontiers of social cognition including
diversity, prejudice, confidence, collaboration and empathy.
Working with their son Alex Frith and artist Daniel Locke, they examine the
way that neuroscientific research is now focused on the fact we are a
social species, whose brains have evolved to work cooperatively. What
happens when people gather in groups? How do people behave when they're in
pairs - either pitted against each other or working together? Is it better
to surround yourself with people who are similar to yourself, or different?
And, are two heads really better than one?
Highly original and ingeniously illustrated, Two Heads provides an
expansive understanding of how our brains work, and how they work
together.
X-Files meets The Young and the Restless
On a typical autumn afternoon, Martha hosts a group of middle-aged women at
her suburban home. The day takes a sudden turn when Elisabeth, an estranged
friend, turns up unexpectedly--and she isn't the only unwanted guest at the
tea party. Martha's sister, Maureen, shows up after years of radio silence,
along some painful memories and a lot of confusion.
Martha disappears after a simple trip to the backyard for herbs. Martha is
the most beloved of the women--but will any of the others be able to look
past their own problems long enough to search for her?
A satirical portrayal of feminine archetypes in the social landscape of the
60s, Weeding is inspired by soap operas that use unexplained disappearances
and repetitive character reanimations to liven up otherwise uneventful plot
lines. As a verb, "weeding" means "to remove an inferior or unwanted
component of a group or collection." In Weeding, Geneviève Lebleu takes
this definition to the extreme with a fable about social exclusion in a
world where women turn against one another.
Gila, 26, was at a party when the police showed up. The men were able to
get away with bribes, but the women were taken to the station, and anyone
who'd been drinking was forced to submit to a virginity test. She never
went to another party after that.
Zeinab is 20 and she loves being a woman in Iran. She says that she feels
like a queen! And despite all the risks, she confesses that she makes love
with her boyfriend because the danger excites her.
Vahid is 26. He was a leader with the Green Movement. Then he watched his
friend Neda die right in front of him. Now he keeps his head down, trying
to finish his studies.
In a series of vignettes based on clandestine interviews, this
award-winning graphic novel explores the politics and love lives of ten
young Iranian men and women from diverse backgrounds. The result is an
honest portrait of Iranian youth today and a rare glimpse into a society
where the sexes are strictly segregated-and Western journalists aren't
welcome. Through testimonies from across the country, we learn about
traditional marriages, the pressures of living under the regime, and how
young people escape the police and defy tradition to live their love
stories.
Ex Libris revolves around a character trapped in a room with nothing but
a futon and a bookcase full of comics. As they peruse covers, read stories
and fragments of stories, they begin to suspect that the comics contain
hidden messages and... a threat. Fiction and reality blur; sanity and
madness become increasingly intertwined as the reader becomes convinced the
key to their predicament is to be found between the panels of the strange
books.
With a dizzying array of inventive visual and narrative styles, Ex Libris
continues the line of exploration and play that Madden initiated with 99
Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style. Ex Libris is a tribute to the
meta-fictional tradition of writers like Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortazar,
Vladimir Nabokov, and Italo Calvino (whose novel, If on a Winter's Night a
Traveler, was the inspiration).
Rotart Sulli is a painter who illustrates crime fiction. In the first of
two stories that comprise Visual Crime, Sulli gets a call from the
publisher who gives him an assignment for Visual Crime Magazine, which
comes with a peculiar requirement: Sulli is to stay at Hotel Ace in room
611 until his assignment is finished. He completes the assignment in the
basement of the hotel but not without coming to blows with a janitor with a
penchant for chucking toys into the furnace. In the book's second story,
Sulli is once again hired to illustrate a crime story; and once again, it
comes with a peculiar demand: he's told to place the finished work "in your
back window -- it will be seen." In between these two stories are a dozen
short stories occupying a single page, all illustrated by paintings by
Sulli.
Painted panel sequences alternate with Moriarty's rough-hewn, proletarian
pen and ink panels amidst the luminous, Hopperesque paintings by Rotart
Sulli, creating a portrait of the artist working alone in a mysterious and
uncertain world, creating stunning images that transcend the melodramatic
stories they illustrate.
Modern Family. Retro Sass. Highly Trained--To Kick Your Ass! Take a semester off with Dominic Price, his mom, his boyfriend, and $40,000 of black-market weapons. What could possibly go wrong? First there were three: Octavia, Charlotte, and Rosalyn, a trio of badass hit-women who picked up the slack when the going got too real for other so-called top-level assassins. But things happened. Octavia hung up her semi-automatic for a semi-lucrative kidnapping insurance scam. Charlotte chose an expensive Chardonnay, love, marriage and, until recently, a baby carriage. And Rosalyn? There's a lot of conspiracies, but according to the federal government, she's simply M.I.A. When a kidnapping hits too close to home, Octavia is forced out of retirement and back into the bounty-hunting business. Down two partners, she recruits her son Dominic and his boyfriend Taylor to aid and abet her in a semester of murder-based work study, where she'll teach them everything she knows (if she can get them to put down the video games, stop making out, and actually focus on the mission already). Can this dysfunctional modern family pull off the greatest mission in the history of the ASSASSINISTAS? Collects the complete miniseries, issues #1-6.
