Hi Anna. What do you think is going to take for us to get the Kenshin bear later? Cos I have a bunch of chapter tickets and I’m still debating whether to spend them for the Sengoku Showdown lucky time or just saving them up for later (￣▽￣) The lord-vassal event in June is probably going to use glamour so I won’t be needing the tickets, I think? Thank you!

heya! tbh i don’t know. in ieyasu’s route they gave bearyasu as part of the route release campaign but for shingen’s route shinbear was a part of the collection event happening during the route release. bearyoshi was given as an early clear bonus during hideyoshi’s b-day fest. i think you should save your chapter tickets just in case! (˘∀˘)/☆

the lord-vassal event is a story event so yup, you only need stam-glam for that!

Picked up a bunch of Dark Horse Comics trade paper backs at my local library last week.  Margaret Atwood’s WarBears (yes The Handmaid’s Tale Margaret Atwood) is a love letter to the WWII Canadian comics of her youth. If you’re a comic nerd you should read it just for the retro love alone. Ken Steacy’s art is a mix of hero book action and dense indie colors and distortions. It honours the past but doesn’t ape it. (Also I want to dig up some Nelvana of the Northern Lights!) Black Hammer: Age of Doom and From the Pages of Black Hammer: The Quantum Age. Black Hammer won the Eisner for Best New Series in 2017 and I can tell why. But every time I read a tpb I feel like I’m re-treading ground covered by Alan Moore’s America’s Best Comics. That’s seriously heady company to be in, but it always strikes me as being a little repetitive because of that. All three books should be at your local comic shop or library.  if you’re unfamiliar with Moore’s ABC look up Promethea and Top 10

War Bears #1 is out today

War Bears #1, the new comic from Margaret Atwood and Ken Steacy, is out today.

From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Handmaid’s Tale, comes this historical fiction graphic novel tracing the Golden Age of comic books.

Oursonette, a fictional Nazi-fighting superheroine, is created at the peak of World War II by comic book creator Al Zurakowski who dreams of making it big in the early world of comics publishing.

A story that follows the early days of comics in Toronto, a brutal war that greatly strains Al personally and professionally, and how the rise of post-war American comics puts an end to his dreams.
