If you loved the sound of this one from our 2020 Comics Forecast, then be sure you have it on your order so you don't miss out.

The second story in the graphic novel continuation of the Legend of Korra reaches its conclusion with LEGEND OF KORRA TP PART 03 RUINS OF EMPIRE, from Michael Dimartino, Vivian Ng and Michelle Wong. With the election of the Earth Kingdom underway, all hope for a fair vote seems lost thanks to Commander Guan and Doctor Sheng's brainwashing technology. Can Korra, along with allies Toph, Su and Kuvira, be able to save the Earth Kingdom from falling into corruption.

While there is still a long way to go for true equality between men and women, we have managed to close the giant gap a little, and in this book NOISEMAKERS 25 WOMEN RAISED THEIR VOICES SC, read about 25 spectacular women who stood up and made their voices heard. Learn about Eugenie Clark, who swam with sharks, Raye Montague, who revolutionised ship designs, Hedy Lamarr, wonderful actress and brilliant inventor, and many many others.

Catana Chetwynd presents a second book, full of work using her unique, adorable, accessible art style with SNUG COLLECTION OF COMICS DATING BEST FRIEND HC, half of which also contains brand new, never-before-seen comics. Within this volume, Chetwynd celebrates the quirks and peculiarities that define us all, and what happens when we meet the person who shares and understands them.

So much greatness there to behold. If there is something extra you are after you need to get your requests to us before 5pm Monday to give us the best chance to secure you what you are after.
So until we see you next, have a great week, live life and read comics!
