357 Magnum Opus

Ghezal Omar

Summary

“This is perhaps the best crime comic we have read since 100 Bullets.” – World Comic Book Review

“With content as unapologetic as its no-holds-barred cover, Ghezal Omar and Mingchen Shen’s violent, sexy .357 Magnum Opus is ready to take you into a dark corner and give you a proper shake down.” – The Grovel

Bounty hunter Sexx Pistol never kept track of the body count, until it was one of her own lying dead on the ground. Struck with grief, she swore she would leave Kassius Del Mar, the man she held accountable for her partner’s death, and her violent past behind.

But it’s hard to pass up easy cash for a quick hit job.

Lured back into the dark world of drugs, death and destruction, she and Kassius must team up once more to track down Bastian Braun on the orders of powerful crime lord, Lyndon Baines. Baines despises when his laundered money goes missing, and when Braun goes missing with it, he sends Sexx Pistol and Kassius to take care of the problem.

It seems simple enough, but Bastian’s vast web of criminal contacts, crooked cops, and stores of cash make him annoyingly evasive. Baines’ patience runs out when Bastian escapes the bounty hunters and Kassius kills the wrong guy.

As frustrations and collateral damage rise, Sexx Pistol and Kassius will have to overcome their deeply entangled past to complete the job, or risk being Baines’ next targets.

.357 MAGNUM OPUS is the debut self-published graphic novel by San Francisco based writer, Ghezal Omar. She is originally from Kabul, Afghanistan and moved to California with her family amid civil unrest. This story was inspired by the edgy, gory films of Quentin Tarantino, David Lynch and Guy Ritchie, and will appeal to action-genre readers.

Available since: 01/01/2020.

Monarca - A Novel

Leopoldo Gout, Eva Aridjis

“A work of art. In each of the pages, you will feel the flow of a powerful energy which will murmur to each of your cells that it is time to come out of hiding, to open the windows, to breathe freely, to dress colorfully… to fly.”—Laura Esquivel, author of Like Water for Chocolate 
A fable for all ages about a Mexican-American girl who transforms into a monarch butterfly and undertakes the great migration to Mexico, Monarca braids together the values of heritage, ecology, and personal transformation. 
On her thirteenth birthday, Inés receives a mysterious necklace from her abuela in Mexico that turns her into a monarch butterfly—the fulfilment of a prophecy linking Inés’ destiny to her family’s legacy and the butterflies’ survival. 
The adventure continues as Inés joins the monarchs on their long journey south to the butterfly sanctuary in Mexico—an odyssey that has become increasingly perilous due to human activity. Together, the swarm travels from the northeast to the swamps of Louisiana to the pine-filled mountain tops of the western Sierra Madre, finally alighting at the Sierra Chincua sanctuary. On this wondrous journey in the vein of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and The Little Prince, Inés discovers the connections between all living beings, and the urgent need to protect the monarchs' migration and habitats.  
Divided into four chapters to mirror the four stages in a monarch’s life—egg, larva, pupa and butterfly—Monarca blends Mexican folklore, environmentalism, and magical realism in an enchanting novella. This book will inspire readers to protect and cherish the sacred natural world around them.
