NBM Publishing put out at least 73 issues of a quarterly porn comics anthology and this torrent is 33 of those. It's a bit of a shame that it's less than half the collection because this is a "stable of artists" type of magazine where most of them are recurring (or rotating in and out) across the run, and they're free to extend continuing stories as long as it takes to tell them. This is porn though, so the tales are more top-heavy than plot-heavy. The artists are a mix of American and European, and all of them seem excellent. It's great mix of cartoony, realistic (sometimes photo-realistic), genre pastiche and real-life sexual situations. I'm also seeing that NBM put out some of the completed works in graphic albums, so if you get caught up in one of the sagas, you can always look for those. Gay material is (obviously) girl on girl. Of special note is one appearance by Milo Manara, a couple of stories by Brandon Graham and the serialization of the last volume of Omaha: The Cat Dancer twenty years after Kate Worley died of cancer (again though, it's not the entirety of that story - for that you'll have to download the complete volume). Anyway, lots of undressing, licking, inserting and gooey fluids.

Domini’s boss is just too sexy to resist! There’s a reason Domini, a temporary secretary, keeps turning down a permanent offer of work from her boss, Jack. He’s far too attractive! She doesn’t think she can remain professional if the arrogant and confident playboy keeps calling her name with that sexy voice of his. But Jack appreciates the value of her work and counteroffers with an irresistible contract. She agrees to the contract renewal on the condition that they keep their relationship professional, but the moment she signs the contract, the rules seem to fly out the window!

I want to be useful to my boss. This feeling will remain hidden forever. Claris, who is not confident in her looks, devotes herself to work as a secretary. Her boss, Adam, is a charming man, but she can’t fall in love with this playboy, even though she is attracted to him. She desperately tries to control herself, but she ends up moving to Adam's mansion in order to take care of the child of his best friend and his wife who just had an accident. However, when she appears with Adam, the son of a noble, the villagers make a great fuss about it. Claris, who is confused by the rumor, is suddenly kissed by Adam...

Nozomi has married Shinji, an office worker in Tokyo, and is enjoying her newly-wed lifestyle. Until suddenly, Shinji's older brother runs off with his new family, forcing Nozomi to move into Shinji's family's home in the sticks! This is a cheerful manga about the struggles of mother and daughter-in-laws.

I became an extra in the novel I wrote! The only thing is, it's not a romance fantasy but a martial arts story... 'But that means I get to see the male lead from my own work, right?!' With my positive mindset, I’m on the lookout to find my baby (?), Yong-an, but instead, I run into his twin brother, the future villain, Danmok-bi, even before I meet the male lead, Danmok-chang. But right now, when the original characters are still kids, Danmok-bi is just a frail little boy in his teens, who is emotionally and physically worn out from experiencing the villain’s backstory. So I made a promise: 'I’ll raise you so you won’t become a villain.' I tenderly carried this poor young master, abandoned by his family, but when I thought I could step back with pride after seeing him grow up... “Why did you run away, Yeon-ah?” His bright smile was terrifying, “Since you raised me, you have to take responsibility, Yeon-ah.” It looks like that villain has no intention of letting me go.

The Opera adaptation of the Ring Cycle by Richard Wagner The Eisner Award-winning series, finally collected in one volume, presents one of the grandest stories of Western civilization, now one of the most explosive epics in the history of comics. Giants plot against gods, who in turn tear human lovers apart, while the lives of great warriors are ruined, and murder after murder is committed in the name of love and gold. It's the epic as it was meant to be read. This new high point in Russell's distinguished twenty-five year career as a true artist's artist includes behind-the-scenes production art, notes on the adaptation by the artist, and high res scans of the original art. "P. Craig Russell's beautiful telling of The Ring Cycle manages both to be the most faithful and inspiring reworking of the opera into comics form, and the ultimate high-fantasy saga."-Neil Gaiman

Canadian comics publisher Drawn & Quarterly has distinguished itself during its four years of publishing by releasing a wonderfully idiosyncratic series of comic book serials notable for an emphasis on autobiographical stories, loose expressive drawing styles and characters either stuck on or passing through the social margins. This beautifully produced trade paperback collects work from D&Q's equally quirky, eponymous quarterly anthology and presents shorter pieces by some of the best young comic artists of the moment. Michael Dougan ( I Can't Tell You Anything ) contributes ``Black Cherry,'' another of his ``dumb job'' stories that recreates the parade of oddballs and crazies that frequent an ice cream parlour where he used to work. Maurice Vellekoops (who contributed the richly colored, ``scandalously'' funny cover art) presents ``The 8 pillars of Gay Culture'' and ``Homoman,'' both of which happily exploit gay sterotypes (`` `did you hire a decorator?' `Of course not; I'm a homosexual.' '') with mischievous, politically incorrect wit. Also note Debbie Drechsler's disturbing (and nicely drawn) ``Visitors in the Night'' on child sexual exploitation; and Joe Matt, Mr. Peep Show himself, who would like to share his darkest secret with us--it's crude and very funny--whether we want to know it or not. Also includes Carol Tyler, Roberta Gregory, David Mazzucchelli, Mary Fleener and others.

Here is Richard McGuire's unique graphic novel based on the legendary 1989 comic strip of the same name. Richard McGuire's groundbreaking comic strip Here was published under Art Spiegelman's editorship at RAW in 1989. Built in six pages of interlocking panels, dated by year, it collapsed time and space to tell the story of the corner of a room - and its inhabitants - between the years 500,957,406,073 BC and 2313 AD. The strip remains one of the most influential and widely discussed contributions to the medium, and it has now been developed, expanded and reimagined by the artist into this full-length, full-colour graphic novel - a must for any fan of the genre.
