![]() ![]() The only thing I would say that stops me from giving this book the highest score is that, having read dozens of Brubaker’s comics now, I saw a lot I’d seen before from him. ![]() I was effortlessly drawn into Max’s story and I loved the bait’n’switches Brubaker threw in - just when you think, aha, I know where this is going, nope! And then again - and then again! It’s great - I love it when a writer can do that with his audience so well. Unsurprisingly Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips have produced another cracking comic with their latest, Pulp. But he decides to make sure he goes out well - leaving his wife Rosa with enough to comfortably get by in her retirement and take out some Nazis too. It’s the winter of 1939 in New York City and the aptly-named Max Winter (not just because of the season the story takes place in but because Max is in the “winter” of his life), a struggling Western pulp fiction writer, gets some bad news. ![]() That’s the reason we survived so long… Because this world belongs to monsters. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Split into the four seasons, this stunning book can be dipped in and out of, or followed like a seasonal plan, and will ensure that you achieve beautiful, radiant skin all year round.

This roundup of new and forthcoming series highlights a wide range of titles for collections serving elementary, middle, and high school audiences, with books ranging from first grade to fourth grade reading levels.

When examining stories where Boccaccio details male-female relationships, it emerges that women are stronger, more lustful, and more cunning. Although the one hundred stories deal with an array of topics, when Boccaccio compares men and women, it appears that he favors women as the better sex in terms of both good and evil. In The Decameron, Boccaccio demonstrates that while they may not have significant social standing, women do have an upper hand in most aspects of the male-female relationship. ![]() As with most societies until relatively recently in history, women were not allowed to have a significant role in society, other than that of a wife and mother.
