It's May -- the month of comics -- so we're taking Bookclub on a little field trip to the Festival BD de Montreal!! Rather than holding our meeting at the usual time, we've got a space reserved here:
Mix'Heure
4282 Rue Saint Denis, Montreal
Sunday, May 17 from 3:00PM to 4:00 PM
Bookclubbers Get 10% OFF 1 beverage of your choice!
We'll be discussing the Eisner Award winning Absolute Wonder Woman Vol 1, where we follow an alternate universe Diana into... the depths of HELL! Without her Amazonian sisters to guide her, will her innate kindness still shine through in this action-filled tale of myths and monsters? We want to know what you think!
On a normal schedule, Crossover Bookclub happens at 3pm every third Sunday of the month, and it's where we discuss a lovingly curated selection of graphic novels with friendly readers. We hold the club in-store as well as online on our Discord Voice Channel (no online capability for May, but we'll be back on it next month). Said normal schedule will resume in June, and the new Summer Trio will be revealed and available at the Festival!

Absolute Wonder Woman Vol. 1
DC Comics
(W) Kelly Thompson, (A) Hayden Sherman
Without the island paradise, without the sisterhood that shaped her, without a mission of peace... she’s still the Absolute Amazon!
In the "classic" DC universe, the Amazons have stood forever apart from Man's World, forbidding all contact with the outside. But in this new re-imagining, they've had their hands in our history for millennia — preventing monster incursions from realms beyond our own, and protecting human society as it developed. But for young Diana, the daughter of the Amazons' leader, Hippolyta, this isn't enough. She was raised to be the finest warrior. When she defies both her mother and Zeus, she finds herself exiled from Themyscira and into Man's World — without her divine powers, and carrying only a few "borrowed" weapons. Now she has something to prove. She's going to do what the other Amazons refused to do: she isn't just going to SAVE this world, she's going to CHANGE it.
Collects ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #1-7.
Librairie Crossover Comics is excited to announce that comic creator Michael Cho @michael_cho_art will be in Montreal on Wednesday, May 13 from 4pm to 7pm. We will be hosting a pre-festival exclusive comic book signing event, as a run-up to his appearances at the Montreal Comic Arts Festival this year!
Michael Cho is a Toronto-based cartoonist and illustrator whose bold, vintage-inspired artwork regularly appears on covers for Marvel, DC Comics, and others. His newest project, The Avengers in the Veracity Trap, a Silver Age-style graphic novel created with Chip Kidd for Abrams’ MarvelArts line, is our feature for this signing event.
Full event information can be found here: https://www.shopcrossovercomics.ca/us/service/michaelcho-danilobeyruth/
*Note: This event was previously announced with the inclusion of author Danilo Beyruth as well. Regrettably, due to schedule conflicts, he is not available to join us after all. However, fans will still be able to meet Danilo Beyruth at Crossover Comics' booth at the Festival BD de Montreal and get their books signed there! Thank you for your understanding.
Crossover Comics is going to be repping at the Festival BD de Montreal / Montreal Comic Arts Festival on Saint-Denis Street again this year!! You'll find us at Booth D30 on the corner of Marie-Anne and Saint-Denis.

We'll be hosting a few signings, so bring your books by (or purchase them at the festival) and get them signed. Look forward to meeting creators such as Wes Craig, Sophie Escabasse, Danilo Beyruth, EM Carroll, and our special guest... Michael Cho!
Meanwhile, the Crossover you know and love will also still be open this weekend, so if you are not sated by your pilgrimage to the festival, you're always welcome to swing back to Saint Henri to hang out!

A slightly smaller week for new stuff, but nonetheless we're packing some superhero punch this Wednesday!
From Marvel, we have not one but two Spider-Man titles! ASM/VENOM : DEATH SPIRAL BODY COUNT #1 continues the Death Spiral saga, under Charles Soule's care, and introducing a scary new villain... TORMENT! THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY #1 kicks off Dan Slott's new throwback mini-series, giving you a classic showdown with Kingpin and Punisher in tow... ULTIMATE ENDGAME #4 is the penultimate issue to the last of the Ultimate Universe, as our heroes reckon with the Maker.
From DC, BARBARA GORDON: BREAKOUT #1 is the one to look out for, as Mariko Tamaki takes the reins from Matt Fraction in this spin-off series. A freshly framed and furious Barbara Gordon will fight the system from behind bars! ABSOLUTE BATMAN #20 this week includes a gluttony of significant reveals, if all the Spoiler and Redacted Tags on all every review and issue descriptions are any indication...
Lastly, what's bigger than Texas... why, Godzilla of course! GODZILLA VS TEXAS #1 is the latest installment in Godzilla's rampage across America, and this 4-story mega issue is certain to be a lot of fun, y'all.
Get all these, AND MORE, starting tomorrow at Crossover! And don't forget to come see us at the Montreal Comic Arts Festival ;)
