DAN CLOWES MISTER WONDERFUL LOVE STORY TP

The fan-favorite Eisner Award-winning story, originally serialized in The New York Times Magazine, now collected with 40 pages of new material. Meet Marshall. He's been set up on a blind date with someone named Natalie. Divorced, middle-aged, newly unemployed, with next to no prospects, Marshall isn't exactly a catch. After nearly an hour, when he's long since given up hope, Natalie appears - breathless, apologizing profusely that she went to the wrong place. She's too good to be true: attractive, young, intelligent, and she seems to be seriously engaged with what Marshall has to say. There has to be a catch. And, of course, there is. During the extremely long night that follows, Marshall and Natalie are emotionally tested in ways that two people who just met really should not be. A captivating, bittersweet, and hilarious look at the potential for human connection in an increasingly hopeless world, Mister Wonderful more than lives up to its name.

Lloyd's Pick Of The Month

 PATH OF THE ASSASSIN VOL. 1

As the secret caretaker of such an influential future leader, not only does Hanzo use vast and varied ninja talents, but in living closely with Ieyasu, he forms a close friendship with the young shogun. Published in original Japanese format and unretouched which, keeps the art intact. This is a story starring the legendary ninja and Kill Bill reference Hattori Hanzo.

I have always been enthralled by Japan during the 16^th century, and this is one of the best stories to capture that time.  Done by the same team as LONE WOLF & CUB, this is a book that has meaning behind it.
