description According to Josh Hayes, head of Diamond Book Distributors and executive VP of Diamond Comic Distributors, "Despite a difficult 2017, libraries performed above the traditional retail channels, which is a testament to the quality content we're seeing in the category year over year."First releases include Ian Densford's Trench Dogs , an anthropomorphic retelling of World War I; Kevin Knodell and others' The 'Stan , a series of short comics chronicling the U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan; and Brent Dulak and others' Machete Squad , depicting a U.S. Army medic's struggle to preserve life and sanity during a tour in Afghanistan.First up is Miller and Romita's three-part Superman: Year One (Nov.), in celebration of the Man of Steel's 80th anniversary.Calvin Reid, senior news editor, Publishers Weekly , contends that "the demand for genres beyond superhero comics, the demands of women, people of color, LGBTQ folks, kids, and others for comics that reflect their lives is changing the American comics marketplace dramatically."[...]consider Gumballs (Top Shelf: IDW, Jun.), a pioneering comic from transgender cartoonist Erin Nations, in which graphic memoir combines with observational comedy, character studies, and more.
