It is the near future, and student violence in schools is out of control. In a questionnaire survey for teachers, 98.6% say it is far more challenging to teach students than in the past, and 85.8% say it is not only more challenging but now dangerous.
Eventually due to out-of-control youth violence, a teacher is murdered, and the news goes everywhere. As a result, public opinion calling for rapid changes to juvenile law boils over in all parts of the country.
The Ministry of Education and the National Assembly, feeling the seriousness of the collapse of the teaching authority, take the news very seriously and revise the Teaching Rights Protection Act, to create a single supervisory body. The name of the supervisory body is the Office of the Protection of Educational Rights.
Hwajin Na becomes a supervisor of the Educational Rights Protection Bureau and is sent to a school where the collapse of the school authority is severe. His teaching techniques are violent for someone who works in the Ministry of Education. But when punishments don't seem to work on even the worst of school bullies, there is no better man for the job. Sometimes you can’t get a good education until those bullies are taught a lesson...
WITCH OF MINE Vol. 2, story by Haeyoon, art by MAS · SRP: $19.99 · 250 Pages ·
ISBN: 978-1-68497-173-2 · Available August 16th
In these times, if you're too good or bad at something, or simply too beautiful, you're called a witch. But there also exist magical beings called witches, who can wield great powers of destruction and manipulation, sometimes doing so in the pursuit of love with human beings.
Spinning out from the events of Volume 1, we find another tale of a witch’s devotion to true, tenderly mortal love. Disguising herself to fit into the world of humans, Cordelia desires to build a life with the kind-hearted Michael, but can their love survive the truth of her origins? Plus: can a resilient human woman change the heart of one of the witches’ cynical sisters?
ON THE WAY TP Edition, story by Paco Hernández, art by José Ángel Ares · SRP: $19.99 · 172 Pages · ISBN: 978-1-68497-130-5 · Available August 16th
Emma, a newly single cartoonist in her thirties, impulsively finds herself standing in Roncesvalles with her gaze fixed on Santiago de Compostela. Following the pilgrimage route known as The Way of St. James, she realizes the path she is traveling is bringing her closer to and somehow farther away from everyone around her, that the weight of her backpack is more than the clothes and pans inside, and that what she believed to be a simple walk to get some miles behind her (and her past) is a chance to learn not only about the people she meets along the way, but also herself.
Creators Paco Hernández & José Ángel Ares bring you a story of friendship, family, and learning. An emotional journey from which no one will return to being the same.
