KOTIMAISET UUTUUDET

Jussi Leppänen & Tiina Mäkitalo: Mantelitumaketarinat – Vortexin pyörteissä

Imeydy hetkeksi vortexin pyörteisiin!

Pitkän rauhan jälkeen manteleiden ja tumakkeiden välille on syttynyt sota. Näyttämölle astuu uudenlaisia ja ennennäkemättömiä voimia, jotka uhkaavat repiä todellisuuden reunat liitoksistaan.

Mitä ovat kuin tyhjästä avautuvat vortexit? Ja mistä upeat voimatähdet ovat saaneet alkunsa?

Kovakantisessa kirjassa on 224 sivua Mantelitumaketarinat-sarjakuvablogista tuttuja juttuja, sisältäen seikkailusarjakuvan manteleiden ja tumakkeiden toilailuista universumin tuolla puolen.
Seikkailu kuljettaa lukijaa sarjakuvien välillä ja sidostaa ne pitkäksi jatkumoksi.

Lisäksi tästä tummanpuhuvasta opuksesta löytyy lukunauha, tietysti mustana!

Piikkiönlahden merenneito

Piikkiön pikkukaupungissa kohahtaa, kun merenneidon ruumis huuhtoutuu rannalle. Mutta eihän merenneitoja ole olemassa!

Purjehtija Sumu kuitenkin tietää, että on. Myös Maire-mummo uskoo merenneidon aitouteen, mutta joutuu kohtaamaan pikkukaupungin epäilykset yrittäessään vakuuttaa muita asiasta.

Paikalle kutsutaan rikostutkija Aino Malolo. Pystyykö hän selvittämään mysteerin? Jotain hämärää on taatusti tekeillä. Paikallinen kylähullu Antti-Joel Nelipää on siitä varma.

Neljän tekijän tarinat punoutuvat yhdeksi kokonaisuudeksi, joka kertoo ystävyydestä, salaliitoista ja silleistä sekä paljastaa pikkukaupungin synkän salaisuuden.

Tekijät: Julia Järvelä, Sara Honkanen, Jupe Parkkonen ja Eve Kajander.

Gianluigi Bonelli & Erio Nicolò: Tex Willer Kirjasto 64 – Toivon karavaani

Kirjan alussa tulee päätökseen pitkä seikkailu, jossa Tex tuomitaan epäoikeudenmukaisesti ja passitetaan vuosiksi rangaistuslaitokseen.

Tex kumppaneineen nappaa väärään tuomioon johtaneen murhan todelliset syylliset. Vasta lopussa selviää pirullisen juonen pääsuunnittelijan nimi ja nähdään hänen kasvonsa.

Luvattu maa -tarinassa Tex ja hänen toverinsa päätyvät auttamaan kveekareiden yhteisöä, joka tahtoo lähteä Utahista muuttaakseen Kaliforniaan.
Rangeriamme odottaa kuitenkin yhteenotto konnakoplan kanssa. Rikas liikemies järjestää matkoja karavaaneille ryöstääkseen sitten niiden omaisuuden.

Värillisessä Kirjasto-sarjassa julkaistaan kaikki Tex Willer -tarinat kronologisessa järjestyksessä.

Juba: Viivi ja Wagner 25 – Rakkautta, röh!

Naisen ja sian liittoa takana jo neljännesvuosisata.

Viivin ja Wagnerin pitkä suhde kokee kolauksen, kun sika ilmoittaa löytäneensä toisen naisen.
Hän uhkaa raitistuvansa, aikuistuvansa ja jopa pesevänsä kainalonsa.

Tämä on vakavaa! Mutta miten käy välirikon, kun uusi rakkaus haihtuukin ilmaan kuin vaahto oluesta?

Vieläkö löytyy sohvalta paikka?

Ruju Pasquale & Giampiero Casertano: Tex Willer Suuralbumi 44 – Old South

Ryöstelevän apassijoukkion jäljitys vie Tex Willerin ja Kit Carsonin kaupunkipahaseen, jonka konfederaation sotilaat ovat perustaneet turvasatamakseen hävityn sisällissodan jälkimainingeissa.

Ylpeästi Old Southiksi nimetyssä kaupungissa elelevän erikoisen yhteisön salaisuudet alkavat vääjäämättä paljastua, kun pelissä on muinoin kätketyn kultalastin kohtalo.
Lisäksi ex-sotilaiden ja rangereiden uhkana vaanii hurja Nadeh sotureineen…

Old South edustaa klassista lännensarjakuvaa parhaimmillaan.
Albumi ei jätä räväkän toiminnan, kieron juonittelun ja yllättävien käänteiden ystäviä kylmäksi.

Teoksen rautaisesta mustavalkokuvituksesta vastaa kokenut Giampiero Casertano.

Suuralbumi on isokokoinen pehmeäkantinen Tex-kirja, joka kertoo pitkän mustavalkoisen sarjakuvatarinan.

Altan: Kolumbus – Erään haahuilijan tarina

Kristoffer Kolumbus harhailee kurjan ja petollisen miehistönsä kanssa tuntemattomilla vesillä tuntematta myöskään kompassin toimintaa.

Hänen uskonsa horjuu, mutta kajuutan lämmössä hän muistelee nuoruuttaan, miten hän nousi saastaisen viinituvan tarjoilijasta kuningattaren petikaveriksi ja lopulta ylipuhumaan Salamancan tohtorit rahoittamaan suurta matkaansa Intioihin – lännen kautta!

Kolumbuksen satiirinen elämäkerta on Francesco Tullio Altanin kolmas suomennettu teos.
Aiemmin ovat ilmestyneet Ada viidakossa ja Ada Macaossa.

Mauro Boselli & Alessandro Piccinelli: Tex Willer Maxi-Tex 43 – Bill-veljekset

Tex ja Carson kutsutaan Chiricahua-vuorille tutkimaan, miksi vanha Cochise ei pysty hillitsemään sotureitaan.

He saavat selville, että liekehtivässä Arizonassa riehuvat hurjat Bill-veljekset: synkkä revolverimies Black, hilpeä voimamies Sam sekä riehakas huimapää Kid.
Torjuakseen sodan ja saadakseen selvyyttä intiaanipäällikön kohtaloon rangerit lähtevät jäljittämään veljeksiä.

Bonellin tarinoiden legendaarinen veljeskolmikko kohtaa tässä seikkailussa Texin ja Carsonin ensimmäistä kertaa.

Maxi-Tex on paksu, mustavalkoinen ja pokkarikokoinen paketti kokonaisia Tex-tarinoita.

Martin Widmark & Helena Willis: Sarjakuvamysteerit – Lasse-Maijan etsivätoimisto

Alice Oseman: Heartstopper 1 – Poika tapaa pojan

Poika tapaa pojan. Pojista tulee ystävät. Pojat rakastuvat.

Sydämen sulattava sarjakuvaromaani ystävyydestä ja tunnemyrskystä, jonka vain ensirakkaus voi synnyttää.

Charlie ja Nick käyvät samaa koulua ja tapaavat yhteisellä kurssilla. Charlien sydän on pysähtyä, kun hän näkee Nickin ensi kerran, ja rakastuu päätä pahkaa. Vaikka Charlien järki sanoo, ettei heidän välillään voi koskaan olla mitään ystävyyttä enempää, hän ei voi tunteilleen mitään. Voisiko Nick sittenkin olla vähän kiinnostunut Charliesta…?

Heartstopper-sarjassa käsitellään ystävyyttä, rakkautta ja rohkeutta olla oma itsensä. Charlien ja Nickin polut kietoutuvat yhteen ja muodostavat suuremman tarinan, joka ei jätä ketään kylmäksi

Kirjailija-kuvittaja Alice Oseman syntyi Kentissä Englannissa 1994. Hänen esikoisromaaninsa Solitaire julkaistiin, kun hän oli vasta 19-vuotias. Myöhemmin Osemanilta on ilmestynyt myös kolme muuta nuorten aikuisten romaania. Syksyllä 2016 nettisarjakuvina alkanut Heartstopper oli hänen läpimurtonsa, ja nyt Charlien ja Nickin tarinaa kuvataan myös Netflix-sarjaksi.

MANGA-UUTUUDET

ONE & Yusuke Murata: One-Punch Man 13

Osa 13/20.

Upeasti piirretty One-Punch Man yhdistää toimintaseikkailun ja herkullisen parodian.

Netflix-animaationakin tuttu sarja muistuttaa alkuasetelmaltaan My Hero Academiaa. Siinäkin sankarius on ammatti muiden joukossa, ja erilaisilla voimilla varustetut sankarit pitävät superrikollisia aisoissa.

Mutta One-Punch Man ottaa ison harppauksen komedian suuntaan! Päähenkilön murheena on niukan toimeentulon ja kaljuuden lisäksi se, että hän on päässyt liian vahvaksi.

Kun suurinkin hirviö kaatuu yhdellä iskulla, käy elämä tylsäksi…Kukaan ei tosin usko arkisen näköistä heppua maailman vahvimmaksi sankariksi!

Ikäsuositus: 13+ / Toiminta

Shiro Amano: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days 1

Osa 1/5.

Aku, Hessu ja muut tutut seikkailevat nyt mangassa!

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days on sarjakuva, jota Disneyn, Kingdom Heartsin tai mangan ystävä ei voi jättää huomiotta…

Päähenkilö Sora seikkailee Disneyn animaatioelokuvien kuten Herkules ja Aladdin maailmoissa. Matkakumppaneina hänellä ovat Aku ja Hessu.

Disneyn sankareiden lisäksi kohdataan tietenkin myös elokuvista tuttuja konnia. Eikä siinä kaikki: Mukana on myös elementtejä maailmankuulusta Final Fantasy -pelisarjasta!

Viisiosainen manga Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days perustuu pelisarjan samannimiseen peliin. Se on jatkoa aiemmin julkaistuille sarjoille Kingdom Hearts Final Mix ja Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories.

The often violent, visceral, and always provocative style of Japanese manga legend Gengoroh Tagame, one of the originators of Japanese bear culture, comes to life like never before in The Passion of Gengoroh Tagame, a new edition of the artist’s first English-language collection.

Known as The Tom of Finland of Japan, Tagame is celebrated around the world for his groundbreaking work, noted for its masterfully crafted imagery and unbridled exploration of bondage, lust, passion, and romance.

Gege Akutami: Jujutsu Kaisen 14

Murasaki Yamada: Talk to My Back

A celebrated masterwork shimmering with vulnerability from one of alt-manga’s most important female artists.

“Now that we’ve woken from the dream, what are we going to do?” Chiharu thinks to herself, rubbing her husband’s head affectionately.

Set in an apartment complex on the outskirts of Tokyo, Murasaki Yamada’s Talk to My Back (1981-84) explores the fraying of Japan’s suburban middle-class dreams through a woman’s relationship with her two daughters as they mature and assert their independence, and with her husband, who works late and sees his wife as little more than a domestic servant.

While engaging frankly with the compromises of marriage and motherhood, Yamada remains generous with the characters who fetter her protagonist.
When her husband has an affair, Chiharu feels that she, too, has broken the marital contract by straying from the template of the happy housewife.

Yamada saves her harshest criticisms for society at large, particularly its false promises of eternal satisfaction within the nuclear family–as fears of having been thrown away inside that empty vessel called the household gnaw at Chiharu’s soul.

Yamada was the first cartoonist in Japan to use the expressive freedoms of alt-manga to address domesticity and womanhood in a realistic, critical, and sustained way. A watershed work of literary manga, Talk to My Back was serialized in the influential magazine Garo in the early 1980s, and is translated by Eisner-nominated Ryan Holmberg.

Gege Akutami: Jujutsu Kaisen 15

Sukuna is on a murderous rampage.

Meanwhile, invaluabe Jujutsu Sorcerers have been taken down, and even Kugisaki falls into Mahito’s trap!

Can he reach her in time?!

Sometime: Superwomen in Love! Honey Trap and Rapid Rabbit 1

Superhero action meets romantic hijinks in this yuri manga series about a heroine and the villainess who’s fallen for her!

When the villainess Honey Trap defeats the superheroine Rapid Rabbit, she sees her nemesis’ face for the first time…and falls head over heels in love!

Refusing to kill Rapid Rabbit, Honey Trap is cast out of Antinoid, an evil organization with plans of world domination. Luckily, a kind soul takes her in: Rapid Rabbit herself!

Now Honey Trap and Rapid Rabbit have teamed up to take on Antinoid.

Can Honey Trap defeat her old colleagues and seduce the heroine at the same time?

Gege Akutami: Jujutsu Kaisen 16

After he consumes Mahito’s soul, Geto reveals part of his nefarious plan to Itadori and the others.

In that moment, Choso recognizes the evil sorcerer possessing Geto’s body and is filled with rage! Who is this evil sorcerer, and what relation do they have to Choso?

Now that Gojo is imprisoned and the foundations of jujutsu society are crumbling, what will happen to the world as it devolves into destruction and chaos?!

Miksi Buddha istui niin pitkään puun alla?
Mitä Jeesukselle tapahtui, kun Johannes Kastaja kastoi hänet?
Mikä sai Sokrateen sanomaan, että hän tietää vain sen, että ei tiedä mitään?

Nämä kolme mestaria saivat Taavi Kassilan jo koulupoikana haaveilemaan mestarista, joka voisi paljastaa hänelle elämän suurimmat salaisuudet.

ULKOMAISET UUTUUDET

Kerascoët: I Forgive Alex

A simple, yet powerful, picture book–from New York Times bestselling creators, Kerascoët–about compassion and forgiveness.

Alex’s enthusiasm and energy can sometimes be a challenge for his classmates. He loves to play ball on the playground with his friends, but when his rambunctious behavior inadvertently upsets one of the other students, he finds himself at odds with the whole class.

A perfect companion to the picture book I Walk with Vanessa, which Parents magazine named the Best Book of the Year about kindness, this story explores the difficult feelings that come with apologies and forgiveness.

In a story that sees the perspective of both sides, Alex learns quickly that the right thing to do is say he’s sorry, leaving it up to his friend to find the compassion and empathy to accept it.

This wordless picture book is a good reminder that it’s important to take responsibility for a mistake but that it’s equally important to be ready to forgive.

Persephone was ready to start a new life when she left the mortal realm for Olympus.

However, she quickly discovered the dark side of her glamorous new home–from the relatively minor gossip threatening her reputation to a realm-shattering violation of her safety by the conceited Apollo–and she’s struggling to find her footing in the fast-moving realm of the gods.
Hades is also off-balance, fighting against his burgeoning feelings for the young goddess of spring while maintaining his lonely rule of the Underworld.

As the pair are drawn ever closer, they must untangle the twisted webs of their past and present to build toward a new future.

This edition of Smythe’s original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.

Darryl Cunningham: Putin’s Russia – The Rise of a Dictator

From schoolyard thug to Russian president: Putin’s rise to power comes under the microscope.

Darryl Cunningham ( Billionaires) returns with the riveting life story of Vladimir Putin, Russia’s infamous autocrat.

He traces Putin’s development from schoolyard thug in Soviet-era Leningrad, to KGB officer, to corrupt commodities dealer, all the way to his presidency and beyond.
In this educational and frank biography, Putin’s journey is characterized by shifting loyalties, brutal treatment of detractors, and lawless financial dealings.

Despite all of this, Putin has retained public support and tremendous importance in Russian society, due to his ever-tightening control over the media and harsh muzzling of critics.

Born in 1952, Putin grew up idealizing the KGB, and he became a member of its ranks by early adulthood.
Cunningham posits that the speed with which Putin advanced politically was a reflection of the KGB’s need to cement their control of the Russian political system after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Since Boris Yeltsin appointed him to the presidency in 2000, Putin has annexed Crimea, rolled back democratic reforms, and led a life of luxury, all the while fostering a cult of personality.

In Putin’s Russia, Cunningham situates the contentious leader in an analytical framework that is at times hilarious and always compelling.

The English-language edition of Nathalie Ferlut and Tamia Baudouin’s stunning biography of Artemisia Gentileschi, the trailblazing Italian baroque painter, originally published in French.

This full-color graphic novel recounts the remarkable story of Artemisia, whose life story is told through the lens of Artemisia’s daughter as she questions her mother about their family history.

The ensuing tale spans most of Gentileschi’s life, beginning with her childhood in Rome in her father’s painting studio, to the sexual abuse she experienced at the hands of a tutor and the arduous trial that followed, as well as the highlights of her prolific career in which she received commissions from clients as powerful as the Medici and the English royal family and became the first woman admitted to the prestigious Academy of Arts in Florence.

Aqualad’s going to need all of his skills, wit, and cunning just to prove his own innocence, let alone graduate from sidekick to Aquaman!

Jacek Rembis & Jonas Scharf: The Witcher – A Grain of Truth

Geralt’s encounter with a beast reveals the truth behind fairy tales in this graphic novel adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s original short story.

Geralt takes a short cut down a beaten path, where he makes a grim discovery of two corpses. Backtracking their trail, he’s led to a derelict mansion secured with elevated walls and a gate–mysterious and ramshackle, yet adorned with a rare elegance Geralt could not ignore.

He is met with the mansion’s owner–not quite human, but a beast with the faculties of a man. With Geralt unfazed by his monstrous appearance and displays of aggression, the beast invites him inside.

A kind but wary host, he shares stories of his family, his life . . . and his curse.
If the weight of his misdeeds could condemn him to the body of a beast–a retribution spoken of only in fairy tales, could there be another grain of truth in these tales of fantasy–one that could help him elude his fate and lead him to salvation?

This graphic novel is the first in a series of adaptations from Sapkowski’s acclaimed short story collection The Last Wish! Script adaptation by Jacek Rembiś ( Frostpunk) with art by Jonas Scharf ( Bone Parish, War for the Planet of the Apes).

Iolanda Zanfardino & Elisa Romboli: Alice in Leatherland

Alice, a young writer of children’s story books, is hurtled out of her fairytale-like life when she discovers her girlfriend has been cheating on her!

Charmingly defiant, she leaves her small forest town and leaps into a new adventure to seek love (and find herself) in the fast life of San Francisco.
There, her concept of pure, magical love will be completely overturned–but her biggest challenge won’t be reckoning with other people’s sexual drive, it’ll be getting a grip on her own!

From your new favorite writer and artist team of Iolanda Zanfardino and Elisa Romboli, Alice In Leatherland is a comedy about sex and so, inevitably, about every other aspect of life, too.

As Iolanda and Elisa describe the book: “Sex is recounted as a way to investigate our relationship with ourselves and others, with our bodies and our place in the world; sexual pleasure as self-affirmation and growth. There is room for Love, too, and bravery. And for many good laughs, that never hurts.”

Matt Rosenberg & Tyler Boss: What’s the Furthest Place from Here 1

From Eisner nominated artist Tyler Boss (4 Kids Walk Into A Bank, Dead Dog’s Bite) and bestselling writer Matthew Rosenberg (DC vs. Vampires, Uncanny X-Men) comes an epic adventure about growing up and getting lost at the end of the world.

When 16 year-old Sid goes missing in the wastelands, it’s up to the members of her gang to try to discover what happened.
But what they find is a whole world beyond anything they could imagine.

Like Lord of the Rings meets Lord of the Flies, or John Carpenter by way of John Hughes, this series smashes together sci-fi and fantasy with elements of comedy, horror, and mystery for an emotional coming-of-age story unlike anything you’ve read before.

This oversized volume collects the first arc of the breakout hit series James Tynion IV calls “what the future of comics SHOULD feel like”.

Collects issues #1-6.

Jeffrey Brown: Loved and Lost – A Relationship Trilogy

A pioneer of 21st-century graphic memoir, Jeffrey Brown captures timeless insights into love, intimacy, and vulnerability in three unforgettable relationship portraits.

Twenty years ago, young painter Jeffrey Brown grew frustrated with the expectations of the art world and wanted desperately to make something real. In a single sketchbook, working directly in ink, he began recording his memories of a recent long-distance relationship, matching the emotional frailty of the young lovers with painfully honest writing and art.

As that book, Clumsy, struck a chord with readers and spawned the follow-ups Unlikely and Any Easy Intimacy, Brown’s work proved a watershed for the emerging form of the graphic memoir. Chronicling the awkward mess of romantic relationships in unsparing and explicit detail, these works also reflect the fragmentary nature of memory, the risk of opening ourselves to pain, and the giggly rush of falling in love.

Now collected into one volume for the first time, this Relationship Trilogy is a bittersweet reminder of the everyday joy, heartbreak, and humor that — despite everything– keep us coming back for more.

Collects Clumsy, Unlikely, and AEIOU or Any Easy Intimacy.

Lynda Barry: My Perfect Life

Maybonne and Marlys Mullen endure the mortifying highs and lows of middle school in this Lynda Barry classic.

Collected from the strip Ernie Pook’s Comeek, which was serialized in alternative weeklies across the continent, My Perfect Life captures the moment when Lynda Barry finds the perfect balance in longer-form storytelling between the bellyaching laughs and the brutal reality checks.

Along with the 2022 release Come Over Come Over, this collection continues to spotlight the life of teenager Maybonne Mullen.

She suffers through the utterly relatable insults of junior high and the excruciating embarrassment caused by her little sister, Marlys. Hovering in the background, however, is a broken home, parents struggling with addiction, a grandmother who takes her granddaughters from the diverse big city to a bewilderingly bland small town.

Yet fitting into the new school and surroundings is, of course, paramount to a young teenager.
Maybonne begins September full of life and excitement. As the school year progresses, she experiences bullying, her first boyfriend, family drama, drinking, and more.

The book ends with Maybonne withdrawn and jaded as the reality of her world outweighs the magic.

John Porcellino: The Collected Prairie Pothole

Although John Porcellino’s Prairie Pothole ran for only a short 16 weeks in the Chicago Reader, it has remained beloved by readers, old and new.

Since then, John has continued to produce the strip for his Patreon supporters, writing mainly about his childhood memories of growing up in Chicagoland.

Listening to weird records, earwigs, trick or treating, and smelt, The Collected Prairie Pothole includes all 28 of these classic four-panel newspaper-style strips, plus bonus material!

John Porcellino is the author of the celebrated, autobiographical comics-zine King-Cat, which he’s self-published since 1989, and two graphic novels, Thoreau at Walden (CCS/Hyperion, 2008) and The Hospital Suite (Drawn & Quarterly, 2014).

He lives in Beloit, Wisconsin with S., two dogs, two cats, and seven caterpillars.

Benjamin Marra: Disciples

Marin County, 1978.
In this graphic novel, teens Clara and Wendy get high one night alone at home.
Before the night ends, they’ve disappeared ― until five months later, when Clara is found, disheveled, but alive, in Death Valley National Park.

From Clara’s mysterious reappearance in Death Valley, Disciples cuts to the present day, where stories of The California Cult and its enigmatic — and never-caught — leader, Billy Joe, are as much a part of the popular culture as the Manson Family. Clara, the lone survivor of the cult, has adopted a new identity to protect her and her daughter, Wren.

And she mostly does, until one night when the past and present horrifically collide.

Disciples is a seamless collaboration between cartoonist Ben Marra and filmmakers David Birke and Nicholas McCarthy. Birke and McCarthy’s script celebrates and reinvents a cult film ethos. It combines the best of 1970s era eerie-thriller-terror movies in a fresh and revelatory way, similar to how Marra has continued/reinvented the work of Abel Ferrara and George Cosmatos in graphic novels like Night Business.

Paco Roca & Guillermo Corral: The Treasure of the Black Swan

May 2007.

When an American treasure-hunting company uncovers a shipwreck containing the greatest underwater trove ever found, the world is captivated by their discovery.

But over in Spain, a group of low-level government officials surmises that the sunken ship is in fact an ancient Spanish vessel.
Thus begins a legal and political thriller, pitting a group of idealistic diplomats against a rich and powerfully connected treasure hunter, in which vital cultural artifacts and hundreds of millions of dollars hang in the balance.

Cartoonist Paco Roca and writer Guillermo Corral bring a cinematic flair to this graphic novel, combining threads of Tintin-inspired seafaring adventure, political intrigue, tense courtroom drama, and, in the midst of it all, a budding romance.

A gripping dramatization of a little-known, unbelievable true story of money, political power, and cultural heritage.

The Treasure of the Black Swan was adapted into an original television series, La Fortuna, starring Stanley Tucci and debuted in the US on AMC Plus in January 2022.

Juri Nummelin (toim.): Kuolon tähti

Suomalaisia maailmanloppunovelleja.

Uusia sekä klassisia kaiken lopun kuvauksia kotimaisilta kirjailijoilta. Ihminen on aina pelännyt – tai toivonut – maailmanloppua.

Vaikuttavia maailmanlopputarinoita on tehty jo 1700-luvulta alkaen. Kuvaukset maailman tuhoutumisesta ovat nykyisenä maailmanlaajuisten epidemioiden aikana tulleet yhä todentuntuisemmiksi. Uutiset ovat täynnä ilmastokriisiä, kuivuutta ja suunnattomia metsä- ja maastopaloja. Monet poliitikot tuntuvat suorastaan haluavan kiihdyttää kehitystä. Onko meillä enää toivoa?

Kuolon tähti sisältää 18 novellia.
Siihen ovat uusia kotimaisia tuhon ja hävityksen tarinoita kirjoittaneet maan johtavat spefikirjailijat, kuten Tiina Raevaara, Anni Kuu Nupponen ja Vesa Sisättö.

Höysteenä on myös muutamia vanhoja novelleja, joista Tove Janssonin ”Shoppaamassa” on erityinen löytö. Sitä ei ole ollut saatavilla kolmeenkymmeneen vuoteen.

Kirjan on toimittanut Juri Nummelin, joka on kirjoittanut kirjaan myös lyhyen maailmanloppukuvitelmien historiaa kartoittavan esipuheen.

Ville Vuorela: Praedor – Pitkien varjojen maa (romaani)

Verivartion tarina jatkuu!

Taivaan Suuren Suden epäonninen valloitussota on saanut Jaconian hämmennyksen valtaan.

Aateliset käyvät keskinäistä kamppailuaan, kuninkaan valtaistumelle on tunkua.
Valtapelin keskellä vaeltavat käärmetanssija Nejah ja hänen praedor-kumppaninsa Vanha Koira ja Korpinsiipi, seurassaan salaisuuksia kantava Musta markiisi.

Matkasta selvitäkseen heidän on suoriuduttava lukuisista maagisista ansoista, yliluonnollisista ilmestyksistä ja ihmishirviöistä.

Petri Hiltusen kuvittama.

Ville Hänninen: Muuten se on mennyttä – Kirjoituksia taiteista

Miksi taiteilla on minulle väliä?

Muuten se on mennyttä on matka taiteisiin ja tunteisiin. Ville Hännisen esseet eivät kuvaa taideteoksia saavuttamattomina tai teoreettisina vaan välttämättömänä osana elämää. Ilman niitä ei olisi mitään.

Kirja kuvaa kerääntyviä kirjakasoja, 1970-luvun laululiikkeen painoarvoa, yli vuoden jatkunutta väriruiskutusta, betonikirkon paljasta pyhyyttä ja Peter von Baghin ääntä. Se on lempeä, viisas ja huumorintajuinen rakkaudentunnustus maailmalle, jossa kauneus varmasti voittaa. Niin on uskottava.

”Olen käyttänyt sanojen etsimiseen ikäni. Silti taiteesta kirjoittaminen ei ole tullut helpommaksi vaan vaikeutunut merkittävästi.
Kaavat ja rutiinit auttavat mutta myös vievät etäämmäs. Usein kritiikki tai artikkeli on hyvin rakennettu, mutta se on silloin vain rakennelma, suoja tuulta vastaan. Ajan mittaan tämän huomaa ja alkaa haaveilla muustakin.
Kunpa joku kirjoittaisi, mistä tässä todella on kyse. Ei puheenaiheista teoksen ympärillä, vaan mitä tässä on. Mikä taiteistaa taiteen?”

Ville Hänninen (s. 1976) on tietokirjailija ja keskipitkän linjan kulttuuritoimittaja.
Hän on tehnyt aiemmin muun muassa kirjat Kirjan kasvot – sata vuotta suomalaisia kirjankansia (2017), Keskipäivän miehiä – kuvia Suomen historiasta (2016) ja Setä Pim-pom! Hjalmar Löfvingin kummat kuvat (2016).
Kirjan kasvot sai Eliel Aspelin -palkinnon ja Suomen Taideyhdistyksen Vuoden taidekirja -palkinnon.

Seth & Mark Haney: Omnis Temporalis – A Visual Long-Playing Record (LP)

The musical adaptation of Seth’s George Sprott, captured on vinyl and packaged by the cartoonist himself!

Something strange happens when you pass your work along to another artist for interpretation.
It goes away a relative and comes back a stranger. Lines of dialogue I had written in my graphic novel, now spoken or sung by actors, were odd and moving. I could suddenly recognize from what wellspring of emotion they had originated in me.

A truly moving experience.” –Seth

Seth’s acclaimed graphic novel George Sprott has now inspired a modern opera by the artistic director and musician Mark Haney.

Captured on a classic vinyl record with a sumptuous, over-the-top design by Seth, Omnis Temporalis: A Visual Long-Playing Record is part chamber music, part song cycle, and part audio drama.
Haney’s unique project builds on Seth’s original picture novella while standing alone as a musical triumph.

Omnis Temporalis remixes elements of Seth’s George Sprott to bring the main character and several other residents of Dominion to life, telling a story of time, memory, loss, and the ties that bind.
Featuring acclaimed TV and voice actor Richard Newman as George and soprano Dory Hayley as Daisy, the cast also includes many of Canada’s best-known stage and TV actors.

The trio of alto flute, cello, and double bass create a musical palette on which the dialogue and songs float in an ethereal, atmospheric narrative that traces parts of George’s life as we accompany him through the last day of his life.
