Stacking the Shelves #34

I don't participate in this meme very often but would like to talk about two graphic novels. War in Gaza by Joe Sacco will probably upset me but it's written by Joe Sacco. He's an icon in the graphic novel world and is known for writing reportage comics. When I first heard about the book I decided not to read it, mainly because I knew it would make me angry. In the past Sacco has written other graphic novels about the Palestinians and he definitely takes their side. I, on the other side, have chosen the side of the Israelis. The Sacco effect has finally happened to me and I am waiting to receive the book in the mail. 

I am also waiting for Hammajang Luck by Makana Yamamoto. This story was just published three days ago. It's a science fiction crime thriller about being forced to find a new home and striving to build a better one. The main character, Edie, has just completed an eight year sentence in an icy prison planet located below the Kepler space station and has vowed to go straight. After her release her accomplice, Angel, offers Edie one last job that will make them rich. Bringing down the trillionaire tech giant that they failed to bring down before is their golden opportunity. As the publisher stated "What could possibly go all hammajang about this plan?" I am looking forward to figuring out what hammajang means.
