  • Abrams Comicarts to Publish the First Graphic Novel Adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune, by His Son Brian Herbert and Kevin J
    For Immediate Release Contact: Maya Bradford Senior Publicist 212.229.7188 [email protected] ABRAMS COMICARTS TO PUBLISH THE FIRST GRAPHIC NOVEL ADAPTATION OF FRANK HERBERT’S DUNE, BY HIS SON BRIAN HERBERT AND KEVIN J. ANDERSON, TO BE ILLUSTRATED BY RAÚL ALLÉN AND PATRICIA MARTÍN, WITH COVERS BY BILL SIENKIEWICZ New York, NY – October 2019 – Andrew Smith, Senior Vice President and Publisher of Abrams ComicArts, announced today the forthcoming graphic novel adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science- fiction masterpiece Dune, which will be adapted by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson and illustrated by Raúl Allén and Patricia Martín. The deal for three books, including world rights, was negotiated by Smith and Charles Kochman, Editorial Director of Abrams ComicArts, with John Silbersack of Trident Media Group and Mary Alice Kier of Cine/Lit Representation. Kochman will be coediting the graphic novels with Charlotte Greenbaum, Editor.

  • Jeff Lemire Matt Kindt Paolo Rivera Joe Rivera Book One
    JEFF LEMIRE MATT KINDT PAOLO RIVERA JOE RIVERA BOOK ONE ETERNAL WARRIOR For ten thousand years, the Eternal Warrior has walked the face of the Earth. A master of ancient and modern weaponry, he's sworn his life to defend the Geomancers, the long line of oracles born with the power to speak for the Earth itself. GEOMANCER The latest in a line of enigmatic mystics guided by the Earth, Kay McHenry struggles in her new role as the Geomancer. BLOODSHOT A nanite-infused soldier, Bloodshot was once used—against his will—as a weapon by Project Rising Spirit. While the rest of his past remains a mystery, he now fights on behalf of the U.S. and British governments. ARMSTRONG The Eternal Warrior's brother, Armstrong has walked the face of the Earth for more than ten millennia. He's been sober for at least four of them. Well-traveled and a fan of poetry, he's a surprisingly wise and loyal confidant. NEVILLE ALCOTT The MI-6 liaison for the world’s elite superteam Unity, little is known about the man who pulls the strings of the most powerful beings on Earth. X-O MANOWAR Aric of Dacia was a fifth-century Visigoth warrior and heir to the throne before he was stranded in our time with a sentient suit of powerful alien armor. After a difficult period of adjustment, Aric became an unlikely hero and Earth’s greatest champion.

  • Book Club Reading List.Indd
    GRAPHIC NOVEL BOOK CLUBS READING LIST • 2014–2016 Toucan art by Rick Geary In 2014, Comic-Con International: San Diego in partnership with the San Diego Public Library, embarked on an ambi- tious project to start a series of Graphic Novel Book Clubs in some of the local branches around the greater San Diego area. Two branches started in 2014, one at the Downtown Central Library location and one at the Mission Valley branch. In 2015, additional groups were added to both the North Park and La Jolla branches. Over the past 3 years, the branches have read over 75 separate graphic novels (and graphic novel series). We’ve compiled this combined reading list showing everything that was read from 2014 through the end of 2016. Some books were “All- Group Selections,” meaning all four groups got together to discuss one book. Multiple volume-reads, usually taking place over more than one meeting, are also highlighted, as are books that were Eisner Award winners (see the key below for an explanation of the symbols accompanying each book in this list). What have we learned? Well, people LOVE comics! Surprisingly, some of our book club members had never read a comic book or graphic novel until they joined their book clubs! They had gone to Comic-Con and were fascinated by what they saw there, and when the opportunity arose, they joined the club. For the most part over the past three years, our book club membership has remained constant, with very few people leav- ing. The clubs meet every month, with a holiday party in December that combines all of them and includes the reading of the above-mentioned “All-Group Selection.” What has grown out of these clubs is a sense of community—some might even call it family—within the various clubs.

  • Bloodshot Reborn De Jeff Lemire by Bubble
    www.smartymagazine.com Bloodshot Reborn de Jeff Lemire by Bubble BD His story about Ray Garrison has now gained a certain aura thanks to a particularly effective development, giving more and more depth to the hero as his adventures unfold. From the great brute, puppet of a private military organization, acting on order and without the slightest free will, the character has become totally autonomous, sensitive and much more thoughtful. His transformation is not without difficulty, as he constantly reviews his past actions. The fact that he had no free will at the time, since he was piloted from a distance, is not enough to ease his conscience. Attempting to redeem his conduct and cancel his debt, he is now careful to act with attention to the consequences of his actions. Bloodshot's new life begins in the pages of The Valiant, a crossover serving as a relaunch for the shared universe and written by Matt Kindt and Jeff Lemire. In this short story, all the characters come to the aid of the Eternal Warrior who must protect the Geomancian from a terrible threat at all costs. Bloodshot finds himself teaming up with this powerful magician, who, in order to help him gain the freedom he so desperately needs, removes all of his nanites. This is where Bloodshot Reborn really begins. But how can he find meaning in his life, when until then it had been dictated by these microscopic particles? He finds a small job as a handyman in a seedy motel and gradually sinks into alcohol and drugs, hoping that this will help him to cope with his memories of a killing machine.
