Whether you can name every Robin from memory or you liked that one episode of Watchmen on HBO, the Comic Club is here for you!
For February, we will be reading and discussing American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang and Lark Pien. This program is open to teens and adults.
American Born Chinese synopsis:
A tour-de-force by New York Times bestselling graphic novelist Gene Yang, American Born Chinese tells the story of three apparently unrelated characters: Jin Wang, who moves to a new neighborhood with his family only to discover that he's the only Chinese-American student at his new school; the powerful Monkey King, subject of one of the oldest and greatest Chinese fables; and Chin-Kee, a personification of the ultimate negative Chinese stereotype, who is ruining his cousin Danny's life with his yearly visits. Their lives and stories come together with an unexpected twist in this action-packed modern fable.
The following is the upcoming Comic Book Graphic Novel book club dates and picks:

Tony Chu is a detective with a weird secret. He is cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. It also means he's a hell of a detective, as long as he doesn't mind nibbling on the corpse of a murder victim to figure out whodunit, and why.
