Collecting the complete highly-anticipated Final Cut of the hit web-comics experience! From artist/writer André Lima Araújo (Avengers AI, Ultimate FF, Age of Apocalypse) comes this high-octane dystopian thriller in which technology rules with a heavy hand, cyborg strike teams are commonplace, and the lines between man and machine grow hazier every day.

The action takes place in the years 1940-1941 in the East African military theater, focusing on the final years of the Italian occupation of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Pratt's central character is the Polish lieutenant Koinsky, a member of the "Long Range Desert Group," the British paramilitary unit created in Egypt with a scorpion as its emblem. The drawings and psychological renderings of the many minor characters that surround the protagonist are masterly, each well-defined and nuanced: from the fascist Lieutenant Stella (opportunistic but with moments of moral awareness), the fierce and uncompromising desert warrior Danakil Cush (who also appears in the Corto Maltese series), Captain Palchetti (a wild opera lover who commands a fort in the desert as if he were on stage), to the French Lieutenant De la Motte (who lives for the memory of Adrienne, a woman beloved by many, too many men). The only woman to appear is Madame Brezza (alias Clelia Avantini), who runs a brothel in Djibouti and is beautifully characterised by Pratt in just a few strokes that delineate a unique literary personality.

The final volume in the Eisner-nominated history of Japan; one of NPR's Best Books of 2014!
""
"Showa 1953 1989: A History of Japan" concludes Shigeru Mizuki's dazzling autobiographical and historical account of Showa-period Japan, a portrait both intimate and ranging of a defining epoch. The final volume picks up in the wake of Japan's utter defeat in World War II, as a country reduced to rubble struggles to rise again. The Korean War brings new opportunities to a nation searching for an identity.
A former enemy becomes their greatest ally as the United States funnels money, jobs, and opportunity into Japan, hoping to establish the country as a bulwark against Soviet Communist expansion. Japan reinvents itself, emerging as an economic powerhouse. Events like the Tokyo Olympiad and the World's Fair introduce a friendlier Japan to the world, but this period of peace and plenty conceals a populace still struggling to come to terms with the devastation of World War II.
During this period of recovery and reconciliation, Mizuki's struggles mirror those of the nation. He fights his way back from poverty, becoming a celebrity who is beloved by millions of manga-reading children. However, prosperity cannot bring the happiness Mizuki craves, as he struggles to find meaning in the sacrifices made during the war.
The original Japanese edition of the "Showa: A History of Japan" series won Mizuki the prestigious Kodansha Manga Award; the English translation has been nominated for an Eisner Award."

After losing his arm during the brutal fighting, Mizuki struggles to decide where to go: whether to remain on the island as an honored friend of the local Tolai people or return to the rubble of Japan and take up his dream of becoming a cartoonist.

His idyllic childhood in the countryside comes to a definitive end when he's drafted into the army and shipped off to the tiny island of Rabaul in Papua New Guinea. His life becomes a constant struggle for survival, not only against the constant Allied attacks but against the harsh discipline of the Japanese army officers. During his time in Rabaul, Mizuki comes to understand the misery and beauty of the island itself, a place that will permanently mark him and haunt him for the rest of his life."
