In the opening chapters, Dizzy Cordova, a Latina gangbanger who has just finished a prison sentence, is given the chance to avenge her family's murders, and a downtrodden bartender receives the opportunity to exact revenge against the woman who ruined his life.Then, as Agent Graves continues to approach and manipulate his "clients," questions about the ghoulish agent start to arise as people from his past begin to appear, revealing interesting information about their former acquaintance. And in this volume's third arc, Graves pulls a young man by the name of Loop Hughes into his web of intrigue and deception. Armed with one of Graves's briefcases, Loop tracks down his long-lost father and is soon drawn into the world of mob enforcement.

Крэйг Томпсон 4.3
«Одеяла» – это автобиографический роман, в котором языком комикса Крейг Томпсон рассказывает о страданиях и сомнениях, сопровождающих взросление. События этих откровенных мемуаров разыгрываются на фоне зимних пейзажей Среднего Запада США и показывают провинциальную жизнь в семье христиан, где строгость воспитания пропорциональна строгости веры. «Одеяла» – это выразительный портрет уязвимого подросткового возраста: одиночество и растерянность, первая любовь и разбитое сердце, кризис веры и поиск себя. Живой рисунок Томпсона и его необыкновенные графические композиции делают эту историю узнаваемой и понятной читателям разных поколений в любом конце света.

В 2014 году книга Крейга Томпсона получила награды всех престижных американских премий в области комиксов: «Одеяла» – дважды победитель премии Уилла Айснера, трижды – премии Харви Курцмана и дважды – премии Игнаца.

Osamu Tezuka 5.0

Buddha, vols. 1 and 2, by Osamu Tezuka (Vertical)

Osamu Tezuka’s vaunted storytelling genius, consummate skill at visual expression, and warm humanity blossom fully in his eight-volume epic of Siddhartha’s life and times. Tezuka evidences his profound grasp of the subject by contextualizing the Buddha’s ideas; the emphasis is on movement, action, emotion, and conflict as the prince Siddhartha runs away from home, travels across India, and questions Hindu practices such as ascetic self-mutilation and caste oppression. Rather than recommend resignation and impassivity, Tezuka’s Buddha predicates enlightenment upon recognizing the interconnectedness of life, having compassion for the suffering, and ordering one’s life sensibly. Philosophical segments are threaded into interpersonal situations with ground-breaking visual dynamism by an artist who makes sure never to lose his readers’ attention.

Tezuka himself was a humanist rather than a Buddhist, and his magnum opus is not an attempt at propaganda. Hermann Hesse’s novel or Bertolucci’s film is comparable in this regard; in fact, Tezuka’s approach is slightly irreverent in that it incorporates something that Western commentators often eschew, namely, humor.
