From the dream team behind #1 New York Times bestseller Indeh comes a graphic novel following a father and son as they navigate an increasingly catastrophic day. Set against the quiet and unassuming city of Huntsville, Texas, Jack "Meadowlark" Johnson, and his teenage son, Cooper embark on a journey of epic proportions. Told over the course a single day, this electrifying graphic novel recounts Cooper's struggle to survive the consequences of his father's mistakes and the dangers they have brought home to his estranged family. As Cooper and his father desperately navigate cascading threats of violence, they must also grapple with their own combative, dysfunctional, but loving relationship. Drawing on inspiration from the authors' childhoods in Texas, their relationships with their own sons and from ancient myths that resonate throughout the ages, this contemporary crime noir is a propulsive coming-of-age tale of the shattering transition into manhood. While both father and son strive to understand their place in the world and each other's lives, tension and resentment threaten to boil over. As emotionally evocative as it is visually stunning, this captivating graphic novel will appeal to fans of Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men and Terrence Malick's Badlands.

Una historia sobre la transición a la madurez, guionizada por Ethan Hawke. En la tranquila y modesta ciudad de Huntsville, Texas, Jack «El Sabanero» Johnson y su hijo adolescente, Cooper, se embarcan en un viaje de proporciones épicas. Esta electrizante novela gráfica, cuya acción transcurre a lo largo de un único día, cuenta la lucha de Cooper por sobrevivir a las consecuencias cada vez más catastróficas de las malas decisiones tomadas por su padre. Al tiempo que Cooper y su padre navegan desesperadamente por entre una serie de amenazas violentas en cadena, también han de ir lidiando con su relación, combativa y disfuncional a pesar de todo lo que se quieren. Inspirado por la infancia del guionista en Texas y su relación con sus propios hijos, este relato policíaco contemporáneo es, en realidad, una historia sobre la transición a la madurez. Al tiempo que tanto el padre como el hijo se esfuerzan por entender su lugar en el mundo y en la vida del otro, las tensiones y el resentimiento no dejan de bullir. Este cómic, tan evocador en lo emocional como sorprendente en lo visual, es la aventura de un padre y un hijo que quedará para la posteridad. «Una de las mejores novelas gráficas que he leído. Una historia de intriga y suspense empapada de violencia e intensas emociones humanas con unas ilustraciones fascinantes.Una experiencia potente que me dejó tan conmovido, pensativo y satisfecho como la obra de Cormac McCarthy». // Scott Derrickson, director de El doctor Extraño «Con la descorazonadora historia de la madurez y del pánico filial habría sido suficiente. Con las impresiones atmosféricas de movimiento y violencia de las imágenes habría sido suficiente. Sin embargo, es su combinación lo que hace que Meadowlark se mueva en el reino del mito». // Jason Blum, productor «Un puñetazo increíblemente conmovedor y lleno de resentimiento; una gran hazaña. Meadowlark es un cómic que perdurara. No solo trasciende el género, sino que expande la forma de la novela gráfica. Es uno de esos regalos artísticos que no dejan de ofrecer e influenciar a otros creadores durante décadas». // Bill Sienkiewicz, guionista y dibujante de Stray Toasters

The year is 1872. The place, the Apache nations, a region torn apart by decades of war. The people, like Goyahkla, lose his family and everything he loves. After having a vision, the young Goyahkla approaches the Apache leader Cochise, and the entire Apache nation, to lead an attack against the Mexican village of Azripe. It is this wild display of courage that transforms the young brave Goyakhla into the Native American hero Geronimo. But the war wages on. As they battle their enemies, lose loved ones, and desperately cling on to their land and culture, they would utter, "Indeh," or "the dead." When it looks like lasting peace has been reached, it seems like the war is over. Or is it? INDEH captures the deeply rich narrative of two nations at war-as told through the eyes of Naiches and Geronimo-who then try to find peace and forgiveness. INDEH not only paints a picture of some of the most magnificent characters in the history of our country, but it also reveals the spiritual and emotional cost of the Apache Wars. Based on exhaustive research, INDEH offers a remarkable glimpse into the raw themes of cultural differences, the horrors of war, the search for peace, and, ultimately, retribution. The Apache left an indelible mark on our perceptions about the American West, and INDEH shows us why.

Discover the ways of the Lord that will bring you into His abundant life! Walking in His Ways sets forth the essential principles for true biblical discipleship.
The Bible is filled with stories of God using ordinary people in extraordinary ways to change the world. Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, and others were just regular, imperfect people who chose to obey God's call--and what a difference that made! God is still in the business of transforming his followers into world changers, and that includes you. He may be calling you to something big, like moving to Africa to start a ministry. Or he may be asking you to start small, like simply leaving your comfort zone and stretching your faith to try something you haven't before. In either case, it's his power working through you that will impact you and everyone around you. Join Greg Laurie as he shows you how God has called and equipped you. Get ready to change the world.

Under the sway of the indelible storytelling culture of the South, Greg Miller has crafted poems from all that he hears and sees around him. Written in a language rarely heard in modern devotion, the poems in Rib Cage show old communities disintegrating, extended families dispersing, and people in economic or personal distress struggling for dignity and a clear sense of their predicaments. From plain speech to evocative lyricism, from free verse to hymnlike eloquence, Miller deftly gives a voice and a history to the places he creates, places that, in the end, expand to encompass all of humanity.
