Situazione sentimentale: complicata. Kristen Petersen ha degli amici fantastici, per cui sarebbe disposta a fare di tutto. E il suo cane è un cucciolo adorabile, un terremoto di buonumore. Le cose sembrano andare a gonfie vele per lei, almeno finché non inizia a organizzare il matrimonio della sua migliore amica. I guai di Kristen assumono presto un nome e un cognome: Josh Copeland, il testimone. Josh è divertente, sexy e riesce a tenere testa al suo sarcasmo. Sa farsi amare proprio da tutti, persino dal cane di Kristen… Ma laffascinante testimone ha da subito messo le cose in chiaro: desidera una grande famiglia.

Così che possa trovare qualcuno capace di dargli tutto quello che vuole. Lunica strada è confinarlo nel girone infernale della friendzone. Ma cè un  problema: nonostante gli sforzi di Kristen, è evidente che riuscire a resistere allatt...

In 1942, Hitler led the world's most savage military machine. Stalin ruled Russia while America was just beginning to show its strength in World War II. Then, in Harry Turtledove's brilliantly imagined Worldwar saga, an alien assault changed everything. Nuclear destruction engulfed major cities, and the invaders claimed half the planet before an uneasy peace could be achieved. A spectacular tale of tyranny and freedom, destruction and hope, the Colonization series takes us into the tumultuous 1960s, as the reptilian Race ponders its uneasy future.

Over the run of the comic, Sim used it as a springboard to explore not only the potential of the comics medium but also many of the core assumptions of Western society. Through it he analyzed politics, the dynamics of love, religion, and, most controversially, the influence of feminism--which Sim believes has had a negative impact on society. Moreover, Sim inserted himself squarely into the comic as Cerebus's creator, thereby inviting criticism not only of the creation, but also of the creator. What few interviews Sim gave often pushed the limits of what an interview might be in much the same way that Cerebus pushed the limits of what a comic might be. In interviews Sim is generous, expansive, provocative, and sometimes even antagonistic. Regardless of mood, he is always insightful and ...
