But after a session with a violent patient goes awry and her daughter goes missing, the only way Rachel will survive the night and save her daughter is to face her own fears.

Eden II TP - Kenny Wroten

A blistering critique of digital media and a kaleidoscopic depiction of consumer culture, Eden II is both fanciful and satirical, a combination of deft cartooning and virtuosic storytelling.

In 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.

Kariba GN - James Clarke, Daniel Clarke & Daniel Snaddon

An African fantasy-adventure graphic novel inspired by the mythology of the Zambezi River and the history of the Kariba Dam, one of the largest dams ever constructed. Siku has always called the Zambezi River her home. But things are changing on the river-a great dam is being built-and things are changing in Siku, too, as her ability to manipulate water grows out of control, and visions of a great serpent pull her further from reality and her loving father, Tongai. When Tongai ventures to the Kariba Dam to find a cure for Siku and never returns, she sets off to find him with the help of Amedeo, the young son of Kariba's chief engineer.

The Knight Captain Is The New Princess To Be GN Vol 1 - Yakinikuteishoku

In this shojo rom-com tale, a dashing female bodyguard pretends to be engaged to her childhood friend, the prince... but is their fake betrothal really just an act to him? Christina, a.k.a. "Lady Chris," was born into a noble family and treated more or less like a boy growing up. Now a dashing young woman, Chris is not only captain of the imperial guards-she personally protects Prince Leonardo, who has been a dear friend since childhood. When his father, the king, demands he find a suitable girl to marry, Leo insists that he's already found one: Chris! Chris is shocked, but figures that Leo doesn't really love her like that; it's probably just some ploy to keep the king happy. Chris decides to play along, but as the charade goes on, she starts to wonder if maybe her princely pal has actually fallen for her!

Memoirs Of A Man In His Pajamas TP - Paco Roca

Spain's answer to Seinfeld, these observational, relatable autobio vignettes by Spanish cartoonist Paco Roca poke fun at the vexing tribulations of modern life. At 40, cartoonist Paco Roca has finally achieved his childhood dream - to spend all day at home in his pajamas! However, his blissful, loungewear-clad reverie is beset with a host of mundane problems: He dreads small talk with "the world's biggest bore," but his excuses and white lies are finally catching up with him. When a good friend breaks up, taking either side could lead to social disaster.

The simple mission to change his train ticket descends into an impossibly complicated, Kafka-esque affair. And worst of all, his partner keeps hanging the toilet paper roll the wrong way! In the vein of sitcoms like Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Roca's comic vignettes brilliantly satirize the pesky pitfalls of modern-day life. Like most of us, Roca's alter ego just wants to be liked and to do the right thing, but finds that through crippling indecision, cowardly behavior, and the absurd machinations of the universe, he is usually thwarted. The ensuing situations he finds himself embroiled in are as hilarious as they are often painfully relatable.

Along with 40 pages of brand new morphinominal material, celebrate 30 years of Power Rangers with an additional 24 pages of classic material that fans new and old will be delighted to experience!

The Plot Holes #1 (of 5) - Sean Gordon Murphy

THE PLOT HOLES are a squad of fictional warriors who transport themselves into the pages of other books, using their unique skills to save the plots in order to stop them from being destroyed. And Cliff is their newest recruit, a comic creator who's just realized his world isn't real-in fact, it's a complete fiction that literally exists inside a novel. The other members are misfits like him, pulled from unpublished books that couldn't be saved: a manga samurai, a barbarian tiger, a kid from a comic strip, and a vampire assassin. Outclassed by the other members, Cliff sets out to prove his worth to The Plot Holes as they fight to save as many books as possible.

The Witch's Marriage GN Vol 1 - studio HEADLINE

Opening the Door of Truth is the ultimate goal for many a witch. Gathering enough power to do so is no easy feat however, and a popular method is entering into a "Witches' Marriage," a contractual bond that generates more power the closer they grow.

Whatcha scooping up to close out August, Fantom Fam?

MOZAMBIQUE POWER SITUATION

They are powered from the hydro power facility at the Kariba Dam. The national electricity provider is ... I dunno. Doesn't matter. But I know the Kariba Dam is where the electricity is generated. Just curious, did the Orange River Dutch Fuckinny not hear the local Tsn Yami Yam tale. Or did it just not sink in until everyone watched in horror as the Neolithic Kodak Creature did a seal or dolphin trick, except he eats the cow, hanging from a hook on a frame, inbetween the waterfall and the 'mainland', having dangled the just-give-me-a-little-more-time treat, hoping for some slack. Feed me, Seymour.

Needless, to say, the river God and Goddess have been reunited, the dam burst and the Kodak, having washed up in the sea - much to the relief and delight of the Zim Prez.

After having visited Mozambique myself, I discovered that every single lodge, hotel and guesthouse well as hospitality venues such as bars and restaurants, all had air-cons that were in disrepair and a variety of aircons installed at different places that had been broken for a number of years.

Just off the subject

Made with only 2l plastic Coke bottles, 2 wooden boards and a bit of paint, it can lower a room temp by 5°c. It works as the result of the physics behind it. I'm just not sure if the wider or narrower end goes on the outside.

#justsaying #NettZeroCarbon

This tells me there is a major degradation of the electricity generating and service providing, happening to the country, as the result of electricity being outsourced. Electricity and all electrical devices/appliances/machinery and civic and business infrastructure are all currently unmanned. When the Portuguese left after the 48/48 consignment - poor, uneducated and grieving Africans, from the losses of a civil war and the brunt of fighting colonizers for freedom, left little time and opportunities for untrained and unskilled Mozambiquan people; who had not been permitted to learn any skills or to qualify in anything and had only been used by the Portuguese as manual labourers.

The Portuguese left and Mozambiquan people were on their own, so to speak. Too sleg to even impart the skills necessary to fix an air-conditioner? God. I hate whites. Until you ALL face the mess you made of Africa and African people's lives, you will never prosper.

This sad, megalomaniacal need to control everything by withholding necessary and life-saving skills from the indigenous people of Moshaambeekeh is despicable. After the weary years of poor survival; seen in the state of the people's personal effects or lack thereof, their general knowledge or experience of anything money and the broken 1-orphan families trying to survive in this dystopia is only bearable when I see the beautiful but weary, weary faces of people, who themselves have suffered at the hands of non-Africans, who jovially come and fetch me for our next capoeira roda, greeting, hugging and laughing at my poor Portuguese and my poor capoeira and sharing what may be their last with me. A more innocent, gentle people who love one another because that is all that they have left to share, after a pack of anti-biotics or prophylactics is haggled out of a "merchant" - those are the dealers and the medication, like illicit drugs; expired and exhorbatant - is handed out to everyone upon receipt: only 1 pill per person. Like naughty people doing something unpermitted, they take their 1 anti-biotic capsule or pill and feel that sense of a lucky occurrence on a lucky day.

All this residue poverty and suffering is as a direct result of colonizers, who wussed-and-goed without a backward glance, thought or money transfer. Whilst the financial and moral responsibility does lie with the colonizer nations and individuals - it's fair to assume we are not going to be getting any help from them. Or reparation and restitution funds.

No. They prefer to wait until 3rd world Africa get up and just refuse to sell food to anyone who didn't make a concerted effort in the next 20 years to support Africa the way Africa has supported the Whole World for as long as anyone can remember.

This gap in knowledge of how to fix aircons or how to install a toilet or how to run a business or be audited or be the boss - without having to feel intimidated or at a loss or standing, with your emaciated, starving little legs and curly hair, wringing your wrists readying yourself for the next trouble you might be in, for God knows what and having to try to smile politely and say the right things. Like a 3rd World African country's ambassador to a 1st World diplomat or head of something; hoping to sway his 1st world feel-ok-about-Africa 3rd world budget, in your country's direction.

All this, whilst knowing so-and-so (country) is a better investment option than us, they are not a junk status country or a country that is defunkt: with no flag, no anthem, no government or ruling party.

Just a President, who is an unrecognized and broken man, sitting, for one more generation, in a refugee camp; sneered at and harassed occassionally by the younger men, who don't recognize him.

This is dangerous. Leaving people who have survived hell, who do the very best that they can with FUCKALL, their spirits forwarding long after their weary, starved bodies have given up. I know a pinch of that feeling: can I just die now? please?

We, the world cannot just stand by and watch it like a movie; all these efforts Africa makes and then flops or GETS DONE IN AGAIN because Africa is maybe not as World Wise as the rest or maybe we put all of our eggs in international baskets and forget we have brothers and sisters, just here, other side of the border. We needed people we can trust and who we can cohese with and who we know. Money will come. When there is no sikhosa and plenty of Money, that money will feel like toilet paper or the equivalent. With your country(Africa)men, you know, everything has to work because if it doesn't my heart will shatter if I have to bear witness to even more suffering or even worse, another disappointment. And so will yours. And when we have that in common, it works. Can't we all agree to end it? The suffering, I mean. Is there not enough, as the breadbasket of the world, to go around? And for Africa to be paid market competitive prices and not the lowest price you can scrounge out of us?

By following Shanduka (Black Incubatorship and Mentorship Umbrella Foundation - now renamed the Cyril Rhamaphosa Foundation) principles and hosting an 'exchange worker' programme that will boost Mozambique's economy, we can train, accredit, finance and gear up individuals to start businesses that side, after an acceptable level of workmanship has been achieved, through workshops, online and mentor learning experiences.

Also.

We have many Zimbabwe nationals, in SA and all over Africa; who are well-qualified in business and vocational career paths and would make ideal Vocational and Business Mentors. Mozambique is in dire need of some Big Brother take-you-under-my-wing type assistance. As soon as we start putting our back into hand-upping someone in even more kak than we are in, it tends to wipe everyone's tears and soothe everyone's heartache. And it gets things done.
