AMERIKA GN
An adaptation of Franz Kafka's novel. Unlike the common cliché of Kafka's work, Amerika is not a dark and sinister novel, but a dynamic and colourful story, with a touch of absurdist humor. It tells the story of the young immigrant Karl Rossmann who, after an embarrassing sexual misadventure, finds himself "packed off to America" by his parents. Expected to redeem himself in this magical land of opportunity, young Karl is swept up instead in a whirlwind of dizzying reversals, strange escapades, and picaresque adventures. Godbout's first work in English uses the clear line aesthetic he perfected in his series Red Ketchup. AVENGERS ASSEMBLE TP FORGERIES OF JEALOUSY

Because there's a second Terrigen cocoon in New York, ticking like a time bomb, and it's about to go off. Acclaimed writer Warren Ellis reunites with Kelly Sue DeConnick for a delightfully demented dance through the Avengers roster! Collecting AVENGERS ASSEMBLE #21, #22.INH-23.INH and #24-25.
