Hullo there, yes, you there, carefully eyeing off your stack
of fresh funnybooks to read and while away this wintery day.
There's a lot going on right now and I've been a little
distracted. So I did what one does when one is distracted - fart around on the
internet looking at comics chat. Soon after, thoroughly depressed, I quit doing
that and instead looked at what's coming out in the months ahead. Mood
brightened, I had a list of upcoming comics to badger Mitch and Jimmy about
ordering, several of which are being published by NYRB comics. NYRB Comics is putting together a remarkable
slate of international material, perhaps anchored by last year's highlight
releases, the much-gushed-about Peplum by
Blutch and Soft City by Pushwagner.
But here's a few more to look out for, all coming towards
the end of 2017:
Nicole Claveloux's The
Green Hand & Other Stories
Ulli Lust's Voices in
the Dark
Yvan Alagbe's Yellow
Negroes and Other Imaginary Creatures
Tadao Tsuge's Slum
Wolf
Mark their release dates on your calendar, discerning
reader...
COMIC OF THE WEEK : MY BROTHER'S HUSBAND VOL.1
By Gengoroh Tagame
Published By Pantheon
It's a real shame that much of the Pride Month-related
comics chatter concerned the ill-timed and possibly ill-conceived release of
Howard Chaykin's Divided States of
Hysteria. I've not read the comic, so I'm not going to discuss it any
further. Instead, I'm going to offer up an alternative that's to be celebrated,
a book that's deserved more promotion and more buzz from the industry and its
readers than it has received, particularly given the timeliness of its release:
Gengoroh Tagame's beautifully touching examination of homosexuality in Japan, My Brother's Husband.
There is some irony in Tagame delivering Pride Month's
ultimate comic book celebration of gayness. If you're familiar with the
author's work, the idea that a sweet story about a single father welcoming his
deceased brother's Canadian husband into his life might be met with something
approaching disbelief. Tagame's previous work has traditionally been explicitly
pornographic in nature and often violently so. Most Western readers would
perhaps have first encountered Tagame's work in 2013's The Passion of Gengoroh Tagame, which collected stories such as
"Arena," in which a large, muscular, hirsute man (typical of the
Tagame protagonist) enters an MMA competition in which competitors brutally
rape each other during bouts. As a parody of the homoerotic undercurrent in
both MMA and, particularly, fighting video games, it's wickedly hilarious but
there's no denying the nastiness.
I first encountered Tagame's work in 2005 when, intrigued by
a cover drawn by the artist that featured a huge, hairy Western man watching
porn on TV, I naively purchased a copy of G-Men
(a magazine Tagame co-founded) from a vending machine in Osaka that exclusively
sold pornographic magazines. Inside, I found photographs of chubby, balding,
bespectacled salarymen fellating each other. It was then I realised that no
matter how niche a fetish may seem to be, you will find a market for it in
Japan. I also realised how strange it was that I bought this gay magazine from
a vending machine on a dark corner of a street in a land where straight
pornography could be struck by a stone thrown in almost any direction,
particularly in Osaka. The latter part of this anecdote, believe it or not, is
entirely relevant to this week's comic.
Single Dad Yaichi, with his rippling physique and
unconventional (by Japanese standards) lifestyle may not seem like a Japanese
everyman for native readers to invest in, but his continual processing of his
own reactions to Mike's presence in his household will likely strike a chord
with less open-minded readers who greet queerness as, at best, strange or, at
worst, totally other. Seeing Kana's initial puzzlement over gay relationships
fade almost instantly into acceptance and curiosity, Yaichi cannot help but
feel his prejudice melt away and a happy, healthy household dynamic is
established between the three characters.
Tagame's art is lovely, clean and detail-filled; easily the
best work I've seen of his. He's often been praised for the beauty of his art.
I'm a fan and have always found the gushing reactions to his pages overblown.
Not so here, this is standout stuff from the veteran mangaka. Tagame has a true
gift for expression and some of the book's quieter moments, carried by Yaichi's
interior monologue and matching facial expression and body language, are its
finest. He's also clever with technique, producing moments such as a lengthy
time-lapse by bisecting a drawing of Yaichi's home into two panels - the first
in daylight, the second in night. His use of repeating panels is similarly
expert, allowing Yaichi the space to understand his own reactions to his
brother-in-law's kind, but challenging presence and formulate answers to the
questions he needs to answer.
Exceeding expectation on all fronts, the first volume of My Brother's Husband should be
championed by readers who are honestly seeking diversity in the comics they
consume and earnestly invested in the diversity of creators they read. An All-Ages
examination of gayness in Japan by an openly gay Japanese comics creator should
check more diversity boxes than may even be on your list. Do not make the
mistake of thinking this is some token publishing effort to capture a queer
readership, however, as My Brother's Husband
is lovingly told, beautifully illustrated and handsomely designed. Likely to be
devoured in a single sitting, the concluding volume to this sweet story that may
rewrite the meaning of "family" for so many of those in its creator's
homeland honestly can't come soon enough. This is the book to read with Pride.
WEBCOMIC OF THE WEEK : WHY DID THE IMMIGRANTS COME?
By Mike Dawson
Brilliant stuff from Mike Dawson over at The Nib this
week. Using Spiegleman's Maus as an obvious influence, Dawson
charts the rise of European immigration to the United States from 1840 onwards and
follows up with the harrowingly similar arrival of many South Americans in the
1980s. It's beautifully drawn, but it's Dawson's final panel that's the most
potent, driving home the indisputable fact that so many who protest the arrival
have forgotten just where it is their family trees trace back to. Sobering
stuff for a week in which a Muslim man in London was stopped, handcuffed, had
his details taken and was thoroughly searched for six minutes for suspiciously
wearing too many clothes. The look on that man's face is heartbreaking.
DAVID BOWIE, BRIAN ENO & TONY VISCONTI RECORD "WARSAWA"
Sorry, I know this isn't comics but it just has to be this
week's video. Hey, it's animated. Close enough....
Witness this cartoon recreation of David Bowie, Brian Eno
and Tony Visconti working on the brilliant track "Warsawa" from the
classic, and my own personal favourite, Bowie record, Low. Whoever does the Bowie voice is just spot on and this version
of Visconti's continual reminder of the fact that as co-producer, he's doing
far more than you probably think is a hilarious reminder that Low was way more than just a Bowie-Eno
project. Fun stuff for not just Bowie fans (I promise!).
Cameron Ashley spends a lot of time writing comics and other things you'll likely never read. He's the chief editor and co-publisher of Crime Factory (www.thecrimefactory.com). You can reach him @cjamesashley on Twitter.
Before we roll into this week's list of new releases, take a moment to take note...
ALL STAR COMICS BACK ISSUE AND TOY FAIR is happening again, SATURDAY 22ND JULY 11AM-5PM

Now, what about this week's latest?

Academy Award winner John Ridley (12 Years a Slave) returns to comics with AMERICAN WAY THOSE ABOVE AND BELOW #1 (OF 6). Set 10 years after AMERICAN WAY, follow the New American as he tries to keep communities safe amid the social turmoil of the 1970s.
Will the Dark Knight and friends be able to stop the Joker and prevent the forces of darkness from consuming the DC Universe? Find out in the follow up to DARK DAYS THE FORGE, DARK DAYS THE CASTING #1.

Jennifer Walters has come out the other side of the civil war bruised and severely battered, losing herself and her green complexion. All she wants is to get her life back but when a client's own insecurities are projected onto her how will she cope in HULK TP VOL 01 DECONSTRUCTED.
Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's classic series, Planetary gets a new expanded collection with extra material previously only in the absolute edition in PLANETARY TP BOOK 01.
The Madness coat has been stolen and its new wearer is hiding in the body of a teenage girl on earth who should be dead. Things get weird when memories and dark secrets start creeping in as they realise that maybe this girl should have stayed dead in DC's Young Animal's SHADE THE CHANGING GIRL TP VOL 01 EARTH GIRL MADE EASY.
The Atari classic comes to life but a million times more scary than you could ever imagine. Writer and musician Max Beamis brings the videogame back from the dead in CENTIPEDE #1.
Enaia Jin is just searching for a great Borscht in a hopeless world full of cults, gods and mortals. I have a feeling she is going to go hungry from singer, songwriter Lights with SKIN & EARTH #1.
What better time to jump on this comic than when the Kaiju gangs are about to have an all out war as they fight for power of the South Pacific in the brilliant black comedy series, KAIJUMAX SEASON 3 #1.
The day after the US election all hell brakes loose with protesters blocking major airports and the largest mass destruction in history. President Elect sure has a lot of work cut out for him in Black Mask's, CALEXIT#1.
The comic based on classic horror movie from 1981- The Howling is picking up where the film left off. Werewolves walk among us and their lust for blood is more dangerous than ever in the HOWLING #1.
Available for the first time in English bestselling graphic novel ALONE tells the story of a mysterious person living in a lighthouse on a tiny island. When a new boat captain begins to ask questions about the mysterious old man. his lonely life is changed forever.
Rya sees a better future for her child regardless of which dimension that it is on in the continuing fantasy adventure series, BIRTHRIGHT TP VOL 05.
A muscular wizard with a finger that zaps lightning bolts hanging out with a koala and wearing shades because his future is so bright. If the cover of this trade is anything to go by then CURSE WORDS TP VOL 01 is going to be a great read from Charles Soule and Ryan Browne.
