Do Women Need Sex Entertainment? Vol 1 Solicit

 

In Working For God in a Godless World Vol 1, Yukito and his friends visit the capital city, where they become fascinated by books that talk about sex. Such books are illegal, not because the ruler of the land is prudish, but because he wishes to control all aspects of life in his kingdom. Things heat up in Vol 3, when a woman becomes a cult leader due to her ability to engender lust in her followers. And in Speed Grapher Vol 1, a former war photographer follows a trail of clues to an exclusive club where rich men risk death to achieve ultimate pleasure with a young woman!

Here's another manga from Titan Manga that deals with the difficulties surrounding sex in the city:

Benjamin HC Solicit

 


At San Diego Comic-Con, president Hunter Gorinson and editor-in-chief Sierra Hahn hailed Ben H Winter's story as one of the strongest pitches they had ever heard. Ben described his character, Benjamin J Carp, as a curmudgeonly, obnoxious man. As he seeks answers to his strange rebirth, what he discovers prompt more questions about his existence. You may not like Benjamin J Carp. Yet he has an odd ability to charm people. And as he grapples with his situation, Ben H Winters assured readers that we would root for him.

Here's all the info on this upcoming hardcover edition from Oni Press: 


BENJAMIN HC

ADVANCE SOLICIT

WRITTEN BY BEN H. WINTERS

ART BY LEOMACS

COVER BY CHRISTIAN WARD


IN ONE L.A. MOTEL ROOM, A COSMIC QUEST IS ABOUT TO BEGIN . . .


More than just a writer, more than just a science-fiction icon, Benjamin J. Carp was a cultural revolutionary. Over the course of 44 novels and hundreds of short stories—including the counterculture classic The Man They Couldn’t Erase—Carp pushed the boundaries of literary respectability for the sci-fi genre and his readers’ perception of reality itself . . . until decades of amphetamine abuse and Southern California excess finally ended a mind-bending career that always just escaped mainstream success. He died in 1982.


Until 2025 . . . when Benjamin J. Carp awakens, alive, in a burned-out motel on the fringes of Los Angeles. He remembers dying. He knows he shouldn’t exist. Is he a dream? A robot? A ghost? A clone? A simulation? In his own time, Carp pondered all of these scenarios through his fiction—and now, as he treks from Studio City to Venice Beach and onward into the paranoid sprawl of 21st-century Los Angeles, he will be called to investigate his greatest mystery yet: himself.

From Edgar Award nominee and Philip K. Dick Award winner Ben H. Winters (EC’s Cruel Universe, The Last Policeman trilogy) and rising star Leomacs (EC’s Epitaphs from the Abyss, Ghostlore) comes a uniquely fascinating and hilariously deranged excursion into the metatextual nexus, where existence and oblivion, past and future, genius and madness, and glitter and grim reality all meet just beyond Hollywood Boulevard.

Banana Sioule Vol 1: Helena SC Solicit

 


Even if we don't play them, there's something intensely fulfilling about watching sports. After reviewing the terrific I Heart Skull-Crusher series from Boom! Studios, I can't wait to see how this book will play out. Go Hélèna, go!

Here's all the info: 

BANANA SIOULE VOL. 1: HELENA SC

WRITTEN/ART/COVER BY MICHAËL SANLAVAILLE


From the co-creator and artist of the internationally celebrated Last Man series!


The first rule of the Sioule: There are no rules. Of all the international disciplines, the Sioule is the most violent and most dangerous—but also the most mediafriendly. This brutal cocktail of rugby and dodgeball attracts millions of viewers to each match, and social networks go wild for the players who become international celebrities. From the far reaches of her countryside, Hélèna is far from interested in any of this madness. When she is not helping her father on the family farm, she goes camping by the sea with her friends. Life is peaceful. But her father dreams of another destiny for her, a better life than cleaning up dung! One day, when a stray leather ball catches her eye and triggers something new in her . . . what if her future was at the Superior School of Sioule? Nothing is certain. To make a place for yourself in this ultra-testosterone-fueled environment, you’ll have to use your elbows and your knuckles!
