Yasmeen by Saif A. Ahmed (creator, writer) and Fabiana Mascolo (artist). Scout Comics, 2021. 9781949514698. http://www.powells.com/book/-9781949514698?partnerid=34778&p_bt

This graphic novel opens with a few pages set south of Mosul, Iraq, where two young women are fleeing across the desert. Yasmeen was one of them and survived that journey and arrives in Iowa, in 2016, where she's reunited with her family. Then there's a flashback to June of 2014 where hear family was in the process of purchasing their dream home in Mosul. The book is the story of what happened to Yasmeen after ISIS forced her Shiite family to flee Mosul without her, of how she was to be the bride of an ISIS fighter before being forced into sexual slavery (from which she was escaping in the opening pages). It shows how she survived and it's also about her trying to make a new home in the U.S., of finding new friends and trying to reconnect with her family. (Her parents and brother really seem to have no idea what happened to her, and her father especially seems to want to avoid the topic.)

This was a tough read but I'm really glad I picked it up. There is quite a bit of violence but it's less graphic than most R-rated films. There's also trouble when Yasmeen helps a new friend, deals with a boy who calls her an ISIS bitch at school, and tells everyone the truth about what she went through.

Worth noting: the cover, with its pale blue "cloud" of memories above Yasmeen's head, made me suspect that she had superpowers of some kind. I'm glad that was wrong. I hope, if you add this to your library, you have some way to indicate (especially to readers like me who don't like to read the back of a book first) that it's a realistic story, whether by where it's shelved or with a genre label of some kind.

Scout Comics faces criticism from creators and in a twist, announce a partnership with Element Media Global

Scout Comics faces criticism from creators and in a twist, announce a partnership with Element Media Global #comics #comicbooks

It’s been an up and down few weeks for comic publisher Scout Comics. Once a “hot” publisher, the company has cooled over the past year and in recent weeks they’ve faced accusations of lack of payment and unscrupulous business practices by creators. Things kicked off last week when Jarred Luján went public with issues on Twitter: If you’re a new creator, please avoid @ScoutComics like the…

“VON BACH” Coming in October from Scout Comics with script by Owen Hammer, art by Mariano Navarro and colors by Hernan Cabrera.

“Von Bach” is the story of an undead monster who sues a movie studio trying to make a horror movie about him.

Don’t miss it!!!

—— Doctor Heinrich Von Bach was the nineteenth-century scientist resurrected from the dead by his own ungodly invention. At least that’s the story Hollywood told when they got hold of the gothic romance novel written about the good doctor. For a hundred years they’ve made as many films based on the bloody life and undeath of Von Bach. Today, a major studio is finishing a big budget Von Bach movie. But suddenly, the real Von Bach returns to life in Hollywood, and he is going to teach the cast and crew the true meaning of “development hell.” “Von Bach” is a satire that pokes fun at pop culture and society in general. Nonetheless, there is a powerful story about the search for meaning and the struggle for one’s own dignity. And of course, some genuine scares! Von Bach! You'll SCREAM with delight! You'll HOWL with laughter! You'll DREAD with pleasure!
