Brian Joines – Writer of BACKTRACK In Store!

Cosmic Monkey Comics 5335 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland, OR, United States

If you had a chance to fix a mistake from your past, would you take it? Alyson Levy would. Guilt weighs heavy on former criminal “wheelman”, Alyson, who led an illicit life that left her shattered into pieces that would never fit together the right way again. That’s when she started hearing about it…a massive cross-country car race that grants the winner a chance to correct a single mistake in their life. But there’s a catch — each leg covers a different period in time. In addition to keeping the cars on the often-questianable (sometimes nonexistent) roads and staying ahead of competition, the drivers will have to contend with the world outside: medieval warriors, dinosaurs, natural disasters, even the far-flung future… it’s all a possibility.…

For their 45th anniversary, Hank and Molly Nonnar decide to undergo an experimental rejuvenation procedure, but their hopes for youth are dashed when the couple is faced with the results: severely disfigured yet intellectually and physically superior duplicates of themselves. Can the original Hank and Molly coexist in the same world as their clones? In Upgrade Soul, McDuffie Award–winning creator Ezra Claytan Daniels asks probing questions about what shapes our identity—Is it the capability of our minds or the physicality of our bodies? Is a newer, better version of yourself still you? Join us for our twice-monthly book club, with tea, treats, and friends. This week, we read Upgrade Soul!!

Jim Di Bartolo: The Boy Who Became A Dragon – A Biography of Bruce Lee Signing!

Cosmic Monkey Comics 5335 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland, OR, United States

Bruce Lee was born on November 27, 1940 - in both the hour and the year of the dragon. Almost immediately, he was plunged into conflict: as a child in Hong Kong as it was invaded and occupied by the Japanese; as the object of discrimination and bullying; and as a teenager grappling against the influence of gangs. As the world knows, Lee found his salvation and calling through kung fu - first as a student, then as a teacher, and finally as a global star. The Boy Who Became a Dragontells his story in brilliant comic form.

Unversed Comics

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

Sometimes, you know a moment will be the last time. Whether it’s saying goodbye, ending a chapter in your life, or moving on to the next thing. Other times, you don’t realize it was the last time until it’s too late. Maybe these moments are filled with sadness, or maybe the nervousness of a new beginning. Join Unversed Comics as they celebrate their third and final anthology, Postscript (Unversed). The final volume features 550 pages and 39 cartoonists, some of whom are the biggest rising stars in the Portland comics scene. Editor Jonathan Hill emcees an afternoon where artists Cas Marotta, Katie York, Delta Vasquez, Sarah Hickey, and Tandy Kunklewill will read their stories.
