BLADE BUNNY TP #1

A NEW HOP

(W) Eric Kimball (A) ERWIN

The Hare: a ninja assassin whispered about with fear in the darkest corners, a killer known for ruthlessness and cunning....is not in this book.  Meet Bunny, a pretty ninja girl who likes rainbows, dancing and eviscerating bad people when they blink.  Hmm...maybe this comic is about The Hare after all.

BLADE BUNNY VOL 2 #2 (OF 3)

(W) Eric Kimball (A) ERWIN

Having promised Kyoto to behave, Bunny reins herself in from causing (too much) trouble at the monastery.  But between meeting Jin, a quiet, ordinary orphan (which means he MUST be important) and Yue-Shi, the immortal Son of the Sun and the Moon (who tells long, boring stories), it's REALLY tough to behave...then the alarm sounds!

SUCH A LOVELY LITTLE WAR SAIGON 1961-63 GN

(W) Marcelino Truong (A) Marcelino Truong (CA) Marcelino Truong

This graphic memoir tells the story of the early years of the Vietnam war as seen through the eyes of a young boy named Marco, the son of a Vietnamese diplomat and his French wife. The boy's father works for the South Vietnam embassy in the United States, then the family is called back to Saigon in 1961, where the father becomes Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem's personal interpreter; as the growing conflict between North and South intensifies, so does turmoil within Marco's family, as his mother struggles to grapple with bipolar disorder. Visually powerful and emotionally potent, is both a large-scale and intimate study of the Vietnam war as seen through the eyes of the Vietnamese: a turbulent national history int ERWINed with an equally traumatic familial one.
