Graphic Novel Discussion Group
(a.k.a. Book Club!)
Northampton ONLY:
Last Thursday of every month, from 7:00 – 9:00 PM.
Join us as we discuss and debate the merits of a different book each month. New selections are chosen monthly with input from the group. No previous book group experience is necessary.
In April, we’ll be reading Kurt Busiek’s Astro City: Tarnished Angel.
After serving his time, super-villain Steeljack finds himself back on the streets. But for a man who has learned to live and thrive in a world behind bars, freedom can be the greatest prison. Intent to make good with his second chance, Steeljack is unsuccessful finding work until he takes on a dangerous job investigating the murder of several super-villains in his neighborhood. But as he solves the mystery, Steeljack soon finds that he may be the latest victim on the list of deceased criminals. Featuring a painted cover and sketchbook by Alex Ross and an introduction by Frank Miller. [Link to description.]
Next Meeting Thursday, April 25th.
In May, we’ll be reading The Sixsmiths by J. Marc Schmidt and Jason Franks.
Imagine the Adams Family if they all worshipped Satan.THE SIXSMITHS are a family of suburban Satanists who’ve fallen prey to the global recession. Now their life is in turmoil: Ralf needs to find a new job; the twins, Cain and Lilith, need to survive the public school system; Annie needs to keep them all sane and under budget. Meanwhile, their estranged elder daughter Jezabelle is having her own crisis of the faith. Will the Devil rise to smite their enemies, or will he damn them with hellfire and wrath? This graphic novel does NOT include the material from the issue #1 released in July and is all new, continuing the stories of the Sixsmiths in an devilishly epic tale.
Next Meeting: Thursday, May 30th.
