The closest that we'll get to something superhero-y, but certainly not in the superhero genre. Our protagonist here is a newspaper reporter who we first meet in the 1930s/40s New York. He happens to be a reporter at the time in history when superheroes are beginning to exist, so it's mostly the perspective of the average citizen now existing in a world of the extraordinary. We explore how it feels to be, suddenly, not as important or powerful as others all while keeping your impartial objectivity as a reporter. We follow this man growing up through the four issues as he navigates getting a family and shifting his perspective on the world. Arguably the most attractive book for the art (done by the incomparable Alex Ross) alone

Lengthy. Pretty well-lauded black and white comic about a 5th grade girl who seems to be ostracized (or is choosing to ostracize herself) from everyone else. Heavily inspired artistically by manga, this girl is going to conquer some fantastical obstacles in her life which will, metaphorically, be inspired by true obstacles she is dealing with emotionally. Heavy in the grief, a tad of adult language (gasp!), but really well-done stylistically.

Based on author Neil Gaiman's story of the same name. We're dealing here with a girl that has a desire to...discover, I guess? Incredibly curious. It was made into a weird animated movie several years back (with some real Nightmare Before Christmas kind of vibes) and this stays truer to the source material of the original book. Long, but certainly a good choice for people who are into that fantasy, character-driven genre (with a hint of spookiness throughout).

Personal Narrative - How Native American Is Native Enough?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I had a son in 2011. He'd be a quarter. The last in my line to be able to call himself Cheyenne, officially. He would have been. But he is an eighth Cheyenne. An eighth nothing.

We are very clear with our son at home. He knows he's Native. But what that will mean for him in 20 years, I don't know. And what it will mean for his children?

There is something you'd never know about if you weren't Native or had a close Native relation or friend. It's called the CDIB. Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood. This is a real, actual, official piece of paper with a record writ in fraction how much "Indian blood" I have. An official document about an amount of blood in my body. Which is a metaphor. But it isn't. It's real. We don't have enough blood to keep going for our people. It stops. Ends. My son won't have a CDIB.

As it is, I am an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. On my Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood it says I am one-quarter Cheyenne. One-fourth. The one indicates a person who did not die. Who was not killed. Whose blood has since thinned, and is more than probably on the way down that sloping line. To the stopping point.

My blood is not enough because my dad's dad never accepted him as a son. So he is half nothing, resulting in my quarter nothingness. This is how I became biracial and bi-nihilist. My son cannot be enrolled in our tribe as a result of being an eighth nothing, as a result of not having the proper documents to prove he has the required amount of blood in his body. It has to be funny that after spilling all that blood, our blood, our government, which first imposed this blood law - that we keep such close track of it - make sure we don't lose its quantity, or quality, or, what are we talking about again? If my skin is white, that's because that's what my mom is. And if it isn't brown, it isn't because of what my dad isn't. I'm not half of two things or made up of fractions. I am made up of whole things, things that are things unto themselves. ●

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Cheyenne Cochrane explores the role that hair texture has played in the history of being black in America -- from the heat straightening products of the post-Civil War era to the thousands of women today who have decided to stop chasing a conventional beauty standard and start embracing their natural hair.
