Weekly Shiplist for Wednesday, 8 November 2023

BLADE RUNNER 2039 #8 (OF 12) CVR C MEAD (MR) (PARTIAL SHORTAGE from 10/25/2023)

The thrilling climax to this arc sees a besieged ASH fighting to protect the wounded ISOBEL from not one but two of NIANDER WALLACE’s most deadly new REPLICANTS. The first, his own personal bodyguard LUV, the second Ash’s own Replicant double RASH. But cornered and heavily out-gunned, Ash finds an ally from the most unexpected quarter.

DUEL GN

Sixth grader Lucy loves fantasy novels and is brand-new to middle school. GiGi is the undisputed queen bee of eighth grade (as well as everything else she does). They’ve only got one thing in common: fencing. Oh, and they’re sisters. They never got along super well, but ever since their dad died, it seems like they’re always at each other’s throats. When GiGi humiliates Lucy in the cafeteria on the first day of school, Lucy snaps and challenges GiGi to a duel with high sisterly stakes. If GiGi wins, Lucy promises to stay out of GiGi’s way; if Lucy wins, GiGi will stop teasing Lucy for good. But after their scene in the cafeteria, both girls are on thin ice with the principal and their mom. Lucy stopped practicing fencing after their fencer dad died and will have to get back to fighting form in secret or she’ll be in big trouble. And GiGi must behave perfectly or risk getting kicked off the fencing team. As the clock ticks down to the girls’ fencing bout, the anticipation grows. Their school is divided into GiGi and Lucy factions, complete with t-shirts declaring kids’ allegiances. Both sisters are determined to triumph. But will winning the duel mean fracturing their family even further?

FLYING SHIP TP VOL 01

Queer adventure, humor, and heartfelt friendships star in this fantastical comics tale that truly feels like it’s for everyone. After being stranded in a forgotten military outpost, grumpy Dobrinia sets out on a quest to marry a princess. But in the vast Tzardom of Glas, where magic has been outlawed, troubled histories can catch up with even a flying ship. The Flying Ship by Jem Milton makes its first foray into print comics! Their fan-favorite story, originally released digitally, is part of the new collaboration between Dark Horse and Tapas.

GHOSTLORE TP VOL 01

What ghost stories do ghosts tell, and what can they tell us about ourselves?
An estranged daughter and her father wander a haunted land; they only have the restless spirits, each with its own story to tell, as company along the way.
After a deadly accident of which they are the only survivors, Lucas and Harmony Agate can see the dead-an overwhelming amount of the deceased, all with their own warnings, cries for help, and malevolence alike.
But Lucas and Harmony aren’t the only ones with this ability; there are other nearly-deads, some of which have malicious motivations…
Cullen Bunn of Basilisk and The Empty Man acclaim is joined by artist Leomacs (Basketful of Heads), bringing readers the most eye-opening spectral story since The Sixth Sense!

I AM ONLY A FOREIGNER BECAUSE YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND GN

Some books take the whole of a lifetime to write.

continues Flocks, L. Nichols’s graphic memoir of growing up trans in the rural South. These comics document L.’s further transition, from living as a man to walking the middle path, facing depression, disease, divorce and death. Healing leaves scars, things fall apart, and pronouns change until there is no I, there is only us.

KUBO WONT LET ME BE INVISIBLE GN VOL 10

Summer is over, and a new semester has begun. Soon it’s time for the event of the season-the school festival! Thanks to Kubo, Shiraishi is thrust into the center of their class project, a haunted house. While Kubo is happy to see Shiraishi join in the fun, conflicting feelings arise around his newfound popularity.
