Edith Hammar: Homo Line (ENNAKKOTILAUS)
KIRJA SAATAVILLA 2.3.2021.
Försöker slappna av i en A4 Seaside standardhytt. Vem är jag här. Lyssnar på mig själv när jag förklarar inbördeskriget för andra gången under samma veckoslut för en svensk jag inte kommer träffa igen.
Homo Line tar oss över Östersjön, från Helsingfors till Stockholm och tillbaka igen. Vilken stad är bättre? Och vad gör hemlängtan med en människa? På Homo Line blundar man inte för alkisarna, gentrifieringen och blow jobs under flygbombningarna på 1940-talet.
Seriealbumet Homo Line är Edith Hammars efterlängtade debut. Hammar slänger in läsaren i en frodig och nedgången stadsmiljö. Där vandrar berättaren omkring, fången i gränslandet mellan svensk, finsk och finlandssvensk kultur. Hen köper inga inställsamma fasader, och undrar: måste framtiden vara så fräsch?
Edith Hammar är en Tom of Finland för 2020-talet. Läs Homo Line och lär dig världens värsta svordom – den man dör av om man uttalar den mer än tre gånger.
Det är faiblesse för det absurda som livar upp; att hångla med en spårvagn, att sticka en svensk flagga i rumpan på en dalahäst.
ULKOMAISET UUTUUDET

Walter Simonson: Ragnarök 3 – The Breaking of Helheim
Comics legend Walter Simonson’s epic tale of divine intrigue in the twilight of the Norse gods continues!
In the end, the gods gathered together and met their foes on the Battle Plain of Vigrid.
There, so the stories say, the gods and their Great Enemies slaughtered each other, the stars fell from the sky, Midgard itself sank into the all encompassing ocean, and the Nine Worlds were destroyed.
But not all the old stories are true.
Thor survived as did most of the Enemies while the gods went down to defeat and the Nine Worlds became one vast land of desolation.
Now, in his search for revenge, the last god standing hears the voice of one long dead and it sets him on a new course. The path he must tread will lead down into Helheim, the realm of Death, where he will encounter a host of threats–a mine of slaves charged with unearthing ore to forge god-killing swords, monstrous wolves who would tear him to shreds in their rage, and the numberless hosts of Helheim itself.
For Thor seeks the hidden fate of Hel, Queen of the Dead, one of the architects of Ragnarök, and Loki’s daughter! And, behind everything, he will discover a secret that threatens the balance of all existence.
Walter Simonson, legendary creator of Star Slammers, Manhunter and the Alien film adaptation (with Archie Goodwin), and the definitive version (after Stan and Jack) of Marvel’s Thor, presents the next thrilling chapter of his own post-Ragnarök Thor saga!
