Shipping July 16th, 2008

The following items are scheduled to ship to The Beguiling on Wednesday, July 16th.

But first, we wanted to give a special shout-out to three books of note that are shipping this week:

Goddess Of War #1, 12.95: This is by frequent Beguiling and TCAF guest Lauren Weinstein, author of Girl Stories (amongst other books). It is by all accounts a truly outstanding graphic novel, massive in size. It’s about a Valkyrie who becomes the Goddess of War, but gives it all up for love. It’s going to be something else, we’re really looking forward to it.

REAL Volume 1, 10.95: One of our favourite (and best-selling) manga over the last few years has been the samurai manga VAGABOND, by Takehiko Inoue. Inoue is world-famous for his basketball manga SLAM DUNK, but VAGABOND, with it’s lush and detailed art and immensly gripping story is the one that’s really done it for us. Now Inoue, 15 years on a much stronger creator and storyteller, returns to basketball–and wheelchair basketball at that!–to tell a whole new story. I’ve read the first volume and it’s fantastic, a must-read.

ZOT: The Complete B&W Stories, $24.95: Scott McCloud’s ZOT! is an alternative comics classic, in many ways paving the way for some of the more mature and realistic superhero depictions we have today (more like Kurt Busiek than Geoff Johns, however). There are some really, really great comics in this book, and if you ever wondered what Scott McCloud’s non-instructional, fiction comics looked like, this is a pretty outstanding little deal.
