Each month we select a notable graphic novel for the book club. It is 25% Off to everyone all month. At the end of the month we meet to discuss.
This month’s selection is
 
The Knives (A Criminal Book)
Writer Ed Brubaker and Artist Sean Phillips
 
Meeting to discuss Nov 14, Noon.
 
A sprawling CRIMINAL epic, THE KNIVES is the most ambitious tale BRUBAKER and PHILLIPS have ever tackled. Three dark journeys wind around each other over a decade, like sharks hunting for a kill.
Cartoonist Jacob Kurtz goes to Hollywood in the era of peak TV to work on an adaptation of his comic strip, only to find himself caught up in the life of his aging aunt and the vultures circling her estate. Angie was raised at the Undertow, but now everything she loves has been taken from her. She’s on the streets with vengeance on her mind, her eyes set on the city’s kingpin. And finally, Tracy Lawless is home from the special forces, finally a civilian again, but he’s in bad shape and this city has always brought out the worst in him.
These three tales collide in THE KNIVES, a breathtaking noir story about greed, ambition, heartbreak, and blood ties.
