Join the 2099 Comic Book Club in a discussion of a brand-new noir comic for the ages by Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips (That Texas Blood). We will be giving away 20 free copies ahead of this discussion at our events leading up to it, including on February 27th and March 2nd. These copies will be available on a first-come, first serve basis. After they have all been distributed, students will reconvene on March 6th at Williams 415 at 5:30pm to have a fruitful and engaging discussion about the book. This will allow students to both examine the conventions of the comic medium with this book as a specific example and allow them to foster deeper connections with each other. 

A description of the book is as follows:

"New York City, 1941. Ezra Cain is a private investigator with a reputation for taking it on the chin if it means solving a case. But it's his former life as an archaeology student that makes him the only man to track down an artifact that's gone missing from the Museum of Natural History... an ancient anvil said to hold the power of the Greek god Hephaestus. If someone could harness that power, they could bend nations to their will. Science fiction quickly becomes Cain's reality when a shadowy sect calling themselves the Brutal Dark appears in the city wielding resources that defy human logic. Now Ezra is the only thing that stands between them and their plot to overthrow America!

Writer Chris Condon and artist Jacob Phillips, creators of the hit series That Texas Blood and The Enfield Gang Massacre , introduce us to a private eye whose business is exposing our deepest secrets... but on this job, he'll learn that some mysteries are better off buried!"
