  Jonell Joshua spent her childhood shuttling back and forth between Savannah and New Jersey – living in grandparents’ homes during the times her mother, struggling with mental illness, could not take care of her and her brothers. Together the family found a way to keep going even in the darkest of times. How Do I Draw These Memories? is a graphic novel memoir about nostalgia, faith, the preciousness of life, and unconditional love. From Jonell’s devastatingly brilliant pen as a writer and an artist, it plumbs the depths of what family can be, and how joy and hope can be found in the most ordinary and extraordinary moments.

  A fascinating investigation of a beloved comic strip
   
  The internet is home to impassioned debates on just about everything, but there’s one thing that’s universally beloved: Bill Watterson’s comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. Until its retirement in 1995 after a ten-year run, the strip won numerous awards and drew tens of millions of readers from all around the world. The story of a boy and his best friend — a stuffed tiger — was a pitch-perfect distillation of the joys and horrors of childhood, and a celebration of imagination in its purest form. In Let’s Go Exploring, Michael Hingston mines the strip and traces the story of Calvin’s reclusive creator to demonstrate how imagination — its possibilities, its opportunities, and ultimately its limitations — helped make Calvin and Hobbes North America’s last great comic strip.

  First Line-Of-Defense for Unprecedented XtremesMan's curiosity has led to great advances, but it has also brought on great peril. The tinkering of man has triggered an apocalyptic end that can't be stopped. By chance, or divine intervention, eight humans have been empowered by celestial orbs, giving them access to ancient power not meant for The Earthly Realm. Will this new power be enough to stop the onslaught of an alien enemy? "FLUX: Celestial Genesis" is the first in the FLUX Continuum series. Traversing through time, space, and new realities, The Twelve are the only hope to save All Of Creation. Man should have kept earth hidden; now that they know, the extinction can begin. An annihilation force known throughout the "Universe" as the Bahkrata are now aware of planet Earth. The desires of this civilization are to raid, pillage and enslave humans so their world can be replenished through the excavating of Earth's global resources. While unknown to those existing within the "Universe," an unfathomable all consuming threat is coming. The dimensional barriers have been breached and "Paradise" is no longer hidden. The lines between good and evil become blurred, as heroes rise to face the end of everything.#FLUX #IFluxWitIt www.flux-zodiac.com @flux_chaos facebook, instagram, twittereBook ISBN:   9781098314781Paperback ISBN:   9781098314774
