Paperback. Condizione: 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. Condizione: Good. A curated selection of short fiction by some of the most talented American writers at work today There was a time when newspaper readers could round out breakfast with a slice of fiction by such well-known writers as Henry James and Mark Twain or Sarah Orne Jewett. Sometimes the newspaper introduced them to a newcomer, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald. But over the years the short story drifted into literary magazines, and as many of those publications faded into obscurity, it looked as if short fiction might go the way of the dinosaur. Now, thanks to the PEN Syndicated Fiction Project, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts Literature Program, the short story is back where it belongs--in the daily newspapers. The eighty-three stories here were chosen in the first round of an ongoing competition by a panel of distinguished writers--Ann Beattie, Robert Stone, Anne Tyler, Russell Baker, and Kurt Vonnegut--and then submitted to a group of participating newspapers. Each paper was free to publish whichever stories it found most appropriate for its readers. As Anne Tyler writes in her introduction: It is astonishing that there are so many skilled and gifted writers at work in just this one country, in just this one period of time. When I finished choosing them, and packed up the stories and sent them off, it was something like sending off a crowd of house guests. …
