SUMMARY:Book Club - Eden II
DESCRIPTION: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. \n  \nEden II \nby Kenny Wroten \nMeeting to discuss:  Saturday Aug 10.  Noon. \nEisner Nominated: \nBEST GRAPHIC ALBUM—NEW \nIn the grungy\, punk-inflected world Kenny Wroten creates\, a cast of disaffected young characters struggle to find their purpose in life. Faced with a dying Earth and numbingly useless jobs\, protagonists Ellis and Dr. Otis Heck invent an immersive virtual reality game\, Eden II. But when Heck betrays Ellis and sells the game to a mysterious corporation\, the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur. As each chapter highlights a new character in the ensemble\, the game’s impact grows as the world becomes consumed by fantasy. \nComing off the heels of their acclaimed queer comics Cannonball and Crimes\, Eden II is Wroten’s magnum opus\, establishing them as a breakout graphic novelist. Philosophical\, sarcastic\, self-assured\, Eden II is a vital work of the moment that positions Wroten alongside recent comics luminaries like Emily Carroll\, Caroline Cash\, Isabel Greenberg\, Melanie Gilman\, and Tillie Walden. Reminiscent of the stylized angst of Gregg Araki and Jamie Babbit’s works\, Wroten’s imagery in Eden II reflects the blighted pastiche of Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker―and they have suffused that pastiche with a dark sense of humor and technologically enhanced moral ambiguity. \nPAST SELECTIONS: \n6/4/11 Morning Glories \n7/9/11 Irredeemable \n8/6/11 Chew \n9/10/11 Batwoman: Elegy \n10/8/11 Fables 1 Legends in Exile \n11/5/11 Marvel Zombies 1 \n12/3/11 Green Hornet: Sins of our Fathers 1 \n2/11/12 Sandman 1: Preludes & Nocturnes \n3/3/12  The New Teen Titans: Games \n4/12/12 Return of the Dapper Men \n6/2/12  Asterios Polyp \n8/22/12  Watchmen \n10/12/12 Locke & Key 1 \n12/12/12 Christmas Carole \n2/13/13 Invincible \n4/13/13 Building Stories \n6/18/13 Prophet \n8/3/13 Young Inhumans \n9/16/13 Midnight Nation \n10/13/13 Hawkeye: 1 My life as a weapon \n12/28/13  Blacksad \n2/12/14 Porcelain \n3/29/14 Saga 1 \n5/17/14 Fatale 1 \n6/25/14 The Property \n8/2/14 Good Dog \n9/3/14 Trillium \n10/1/14 Rat Queens \n11/8/14 WinterWorld \n12/5/14 Black Widow 1 \n1/10/15 Astro City: Life in the Big City \n2/28/15 Beautiful Darkness \n3/28/15 Seconds \n4/25/15 The Wake \n5/24/15 Here \n6/27/15 This One Summer \n7/25/15 Gigantic Beard That Was Evil \n9/5/15 The Wicked and the Divine \n10/3/15 Black Science: 1 \n11/7/15 Wytches \n12/5/15 Nimona \n1/30/16 Jessica Jones: AKA Alias \n3/5/16 Supermutant Magic Academy \n4/19/16 Private Eye \n5/14/16 Southern Bastard \n6/11/16 Lady Killer \n7/16/16 Long Walk to Valhalla \n8/13/16 Monstress \n9/10/16 Paper Girls \n10/15/16 Panther \n11/12/16 Afterlife with Archie \n12/10/16 Ruins \n1/7/17 Klaus \n2/17/17 Mooncop \n4/1/17 Sheriff of Babylon \n5/13/17 Vision: 1 \n6/27/17 Eartha \n7/29/17 Lennon \n8/26/17 Wonder Woman: A True Amazon \n9/30/17  Patience \n10/28/17 Halloween Tales \n11/25/17 My Favorite Things is Monsters \n1/6/18 Daytripper \n2/10/18 Snotgirl: Green Hair Don’t Care \n3/17/18 Black Panther \n4/7/18 Niourk \n5/12/18 Killing & Dying \n6/9/18 Infinity Gauntlet \n7/14/18 Black Hammer \n8/11/18 Boundless \n9/8/18 I Kill Giants \n10/20/18 Rome West \n12/1/18 Dark Nights Metal \n12/29/18 Skyward \n2/2/19 Roughneck \n3/2/19 Upgrade Soul \n4/6/19 WaterSnakes \n5/11/19 The Lie and How We Told It \n6/8/19 Mister Miracle \n7/13/19 Immortal Hulk \n8/10/19 Come Again \n9/14/19 My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies \n10/5/19 Batman White Knight \n11/2/19 Bone Parish 1 & 2 \n12/14/19 Exit Stage Left \n1/4/20 Heroes in Crisis \n2/1/20 Sabrina \n3/7/20 Green Lantern: Intergalactic Lawman \n4/18/20 Star Trek Next Generation Mirror Broken \n6/13/20 DIE \n7/11/20 Something is Killing the Children \n8/8/20 Once & Future \n9/12/20 Freedom Fighters \n10/10/20 Are you Listening? \n11/14/20 Uzamaki \n12/12/20 Cats of the Louvre \n1/4/21 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank \n2/13/21 The House \n3/13/21 Dracula MotherF**cker \n4/10/21 Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen \n5/8/21 Dead Day \n6/18/21 Rogue Planet \n7/10/21 We Only Find Them When They Are Dead \n8/7/21 Eight-Lane Runaways \n9/11/21 Resistance \n10/9/21 Pulp \n11/13/21 Basketful of Heads \n12/11/21 Department of Truth \n1/8/22 Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors \n2/19/22 Stray Dogs \n3/12/22 Graveneye \n4/9/22 Oksi \n5/14 Carthago \n6/11/22 I want to eat your pancreas \n7/9/22 Bubble \n8/13/22 Ballad of Sophie \n9-10 In. \n10/8/22 Destroy All Monsters \n11/12/22 You Died an Anthology of the Afterlife \n12/10/22 Monsters \n1/14/23 Goblin Girl \n2/11/23 Fantastic Four Full Circle \n3/11/23 Ducks \n4/8/23 Radiant Black \n5/13/23 Nice House on the Lake \n6/10/23 TMNT – Last Ronin \n7/8/23 Catwoman Lonely City \n8/12/23 Rain \n9/9/23 Chivalry \n10/14 /23 Always Never \n11/11/23 Swamp Thing Green Hell \n12/16/23 Monica \n1/13/24 Eight Billion Genies \n2/10/24 Aquaman: Andromeda \n3/9/24 Do A Powerbomb \n4/13/24 Wonder Woman Historia \n5/11/24 Shubeik Lubeik \n6/8/24 Godzilla Here Be Dragons \n7/13/24 Ashes \n8/10/24 Eden II
