“A humane and gripping work that illuminates how (and why) our treatments of chronic illness fail, and a devastating portrait of the ways our society fails to protect the bodies of its most vulnerable members.” —Melissa Febos, author of Girlhood, winner of the National Book Critics Circle AwardWhat’s Wrong? is author, illustrator, and scientific researcher Erin Williams’s graphic exploration of how the American health-care system fails us. Focusing on four raw and complex firsthand accounts, plus Williams’s own story, this book examines the consequences of living with interconnected illnesses and conditions like: immunodeficiency cancer endometriosis alcoholism severe depression PTSD Western medicine, which intends to cure illness and minimize pain, often causes more loss, abuse, and suffering for those Americans who don’t fit within the narrow definition of who the system was built to serve—cis, white, heterosexual men. The book explores the many ways in which those receiving medical care are often overlooked, unseen, and doubted by the very clinicians who are supposed to heal them. What’s Wrong? is also a beautiful celebration of nontraditional modes of healing, of how we become whole not because of health care but despite it.

"In ancient times, when heaven and Earth were united as two halves of a gourd, deities and heroes walked among men. They fought battles with fury and taught the ways of the ashe (the energy of creation), land, iron, and fire. They reigned and loved with great intensity. Some descended from the luminous Orun, to live their lives and fulfill their destinies, while others were born in the aiye, and through their great deeds became Orishas, changing forever the history of two continents. Tales of the Orishas fuses the pantheon of the African diasporic religion of Candombél with the Silver Age comic aesthetics of Jack Kirby into a riveting tale of high adventure. The story centers around a celestial battle between the gods of Brazil, who are worshipped by the Bahia people, and a fearsome conquering force led by a dark and malevolent overlord. Only Shango, the god of fire and thunder, can lead his people into victory while the fate of creation hangs in the balance."--

Love and Rockets meets Russian Doll in this all-new graphic novel about an underground punk band caught in a loop of an eternally repeating tour-fromNational Book Award-winning cartoonist Nate Powell

Benjamin Lacombe’s haunting illustrations alongside Hans Christian Andersen’s classic story of love and loss showcase the tale in an enchanting new light French artist Benjamin Lacombe has created stunning, one-of-a-kind artwork to illustrate the pages of Hans Christian Andersen’s original tale about a young mermaid who makes a devastating deal with a sea witch and transforms into a human, only to end up heartbroken, lose the deal, and lose her life. The book’s illustrations and design are unique, captivating, and unexpectedly haunting, appealing to adult fans of Benjamin Lacombe and the pop surrealist movement as well as a younger audience, especially with the upcoming nostalgia-fueled remake of Disney’s The Little Mermaid. In addition to Hans Christian Andersen’s classic story, the book also includes additional pages featuring Andersen’s unrequited love letters to Edvard Collins and a postface by Lacombe with historical biography and context. In an essay, Lacombe explores LGBTQ themes in Hans Christian Andersen’s life. Frustrated with the overly feminine depictions of the story’s protagonist throughout history, Lacombe has created an androgynous mermaid to showcase the classic tale in a new light.

"Idlewild is a tiny, artsy Quaker high school in lower Manhattan. Students call their teachers by their first names, there are no grades, and every day begins with 20 minutes of contemplative silence in the Meetinghouse. It is during one of those meetings that an airplane hits the Twin Towers. For two Idlewild outcasts, 9/11 serves as the first day of an intense, 18-month friendship. Fay is prickly, aloof, and obsessed with gay men; Nell is shy, sensitive, and obsessed with Fay. The two of them bond fiercely and spend all their waking hours giddily parsing their environment for homoerotic subtext. Then, during rehearsals for the fall play, they notice two sexually ambiguous boys who are potential candidates for their exclusive Invert Society. The pairs become mirrors of one another and drive each other to make choices that they'll regret for the rest of their lives. Looking back on these events as adults, the estranged Fay and Nell trace that fateful school year, recalling backstage theater department intrigue, antiwar demonstrations, smutty fanfic written over AIM, a shared dial-up connection--and the spectacular cascade of mistakes, miscommunications, and betrayals that would ultimately tear the two of them apart"--

"Una meia lua silbâo a travâes del aire. El golpe fue evadido y le siguiâo un aâu. Dos jâovenes estaban jugando a la capoeira en medio de la roda. Bimba tambiâen querâia jugar. Aunque se debate cuâando y dâonde se originâo exactamente la capoeira, una forma de arte que combina las artes marciales, la danza, las acrobacias, la mâusica y la espiritualidad, una cosa es segura: a principios del siglo xx Brasil era el âunico paâis en el mundo en el que se jugaba a la capoeira, y era practicada principalmente por personas de ascendencia africana. En 1890, dos aänos despuâes de que Brasil aboliera oficialmente la esclavitud, el juego fue prohibido. La sociedad rica y de piel mâas clara temâia y menospreciaba la capoeira, viâendola como un juego de "malandros", como llamaban las personas en el poder a las comunidades negras y pobres a las que despreciaban. Pero, a principios de la dâecada de 1920 en la ciudad de Salvador, un hombre llamado Bimba abogarâia por que la capoeira, y quienes la practicaban, fueran tratados con la dignidad y el respeto que se merecâian. La prosa lâirica y el adorado estilo de ilustraciâon de Duncan Tonatiuh, inspirado en los câodices precolombinos, cuentan la historia de quien se podrâia decir fue el mejor capoeirista de todos los tiempos, quien luchâo para convertir una actividad afrobrasileäna perseguida e incomprendida en un arte câelebre y practicado por millones de personas en todo el mundo. En 2014, la Organizaciâon de las Naciones Unidas para la Educaciâon, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) designâo a la capoeira como un Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad, una distinciâon otorgada por su promociâon de la integraciâon social y la memoria que guarda de la lucha contra la opresiâon histâorica. En Juego de libertad, el galardonado Tonatiuh nos brinda una conmovedora celebraciâon de la solidaridad y la resistencia a travâes del arte"--

A moving and heartfelt new middle-grade novel about mental illness, the transformative power of art, and the ever-changing complications and joys of family life

A gloriously illustrated overview of angels across art, religion, and literatureIneffable, invisible, inscrutable-angels are enduring creatures across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and human experiences of the divine as mediated by spiritual emissaries are an aspect of almost every religious tradition. In popular culture, angels are often reduced to the most gauzy, sentimental, and saccharine of images: fat babies with wings and guardians with robes, halos, and harps. By contrast, in scripture whenever one of the heavenly choirs appears before a prophet or patriarch, they first declare "Fear not!" for terror would be the most appropriate initial reaction to these otherworldly beings. Angels are often not what we'd expect, but it's precisely in that transcendent encounter that something of the strangeness of existence can be conveyed. Elysium: A Visual History of Angelology is a follow-up volume to Pandemonium: A Visual History of Demonology, and like the earlier title, this book offers an account of the angelic hierarchies as they've been understood across centuries and cultures and of the individual personages, such as the archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel, who have marked the mythology of the West.
