Paperback. Condition: Good. Kismet was the world?s first Muslim superhero, making his debut in ?Bomber Comics? in 1944. However, after only four issues, the character disappeared for over sixty years. That is until writer and religious studies scholar, A. David Lewis, (The Lone & Level Sands, A New Kind of Slaughter), brought the hero to the modern age in short story published within the Broken Frontier anthology (published by A Wave Blue World, 2016). In his first featured graphic novel adventure, Kismet finds himself transported to our time with no memory of how he got here. or why. Set after the Boston Marathon bombing, and leading up to the 2017 presidential election, Kismet struggles to find his place in the modern world? Yes, they are facing many of the same threats he fought against during World War II, but that doesn?t necessarily mean they need the same hero. Even someone with superpowers can?t force together a country divided or punch away a threat that?s coming from within their own political system. Kismet ditches the cape and instead tries to inspire a movement of political action coming directly from the people. Instead of fighting bad guys, he makes speeches, attends the Women?s March on DC, and even goes on daytime talk shows. But inevitably, it?s his inaction that costs him the most. Kisment witnesses a bank robbery and refuses to intervene, losing the good faith of the people. To fill this void, a new hero steps in, Steampunk, and saves the day. Kismet begins to doubt the reason for his very existence. It?s at that time that Steampunk comes to his side. Together they work toward a common cause, unraveling the plot of an enemy who?s been pulling the strings from the beginning. Once considered an ally, Omar wants the power of Kismet?s cape, the mystical ?fatecloth?, for himself. He almost succeeds but the fatecloth deems him unworthy and Kismet reclaims the mantle. A hero?s journey is never easy, but he?s here for a reason? to serve the people any way he can.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. The evolution of New York nightlife from the Gay Nineties through the Jazz Age was, as Lewis A. Erenberg shows, both symbol and catalyst of America's transition out of the Victorian period.

Combining the social commentary of The Handmaid's Tale with the white-knuckled thrills of Red Rising, this epic space opera filled with lush prose (Publishers Weekly) follows a comfort woman as she claims her agency, a soldier questioning his allegiances, and a non-binary hero out to save the solar system.First Sister has no name and no voice. As a priestess of the Sisterhood, she travels the stars alongside the soldiers of Earth and Mars--the same ones who own the rights to her body and soul. When her former captain abandons her, First Sister's hopes for freedom are dashed when she is forced to stay on her ship with no friends, no power, and a new captain--Saito Ren--whom she knows nothing about. She is commanded to spy on Captain Ren by the Sisterhood, but soon discovers that working for the war effort is much harder when you're falling in love. Lito val Lucius climbed his way out of the slums to become an elite soldier of Venus but was defeated in combat by none other than Saito Ren, resulting in the disappearance of his partner, Hiro. When Lito learns that Hiro is both alive and a traitor to the cause, he now has a shot at redemption: track down and kill his former partner.
