Nimona
Ballister Blackheart, a kind-hearted supervillain, gains a new sidekick when Nimona, a shapeshifter in the (sometimes) shape of a young girl, simply insists. Nimona seems to be interested only in…vel, first released as a webcomic, is a delightful read. The artwork is inviting with simple expressive lines, and beautiful colorwork in a subdued palate. Nimona can be a mouse or a lion, a boy or a girl, a squirrel or a dragon. This makes for a very fun to read comic, as we learn to recognize Nimona in her many forms, and of course Nimona’s shape shifting comes in handy in the pair’s many schemes.

Bach’s Chaconne on nyckelharpa
In these times of isolation and anxiety, here’s something gorgeous and sublime to help you reconnect with joy and remind everybody why the arts matter. Torbjörn Näsbom connects two of…usical obsessions: the nyckelharpa and J.S. Bach.

There’s more Bach and traditional Swedish nyckelharpa tunes on Torbjörn…

Tipping Point: The War With China—The First Salvo
Set in a near future near and far east on the brink of war(s), this addition to a long series about naval officer Dan Lemson doesn’t require you to know his back story. Nor is this about, as the publisher would have you think, the potential for a war with China. That is only the background to a very well drawn psychological tale of a commanding officer under stress, with realistic problems, human and mechanical. Applicable to management dilemmas,…
