It's Thanksgiving Week, and AWA Studios is offering a massive graphic novel giveaway to subscribers of their newsletter. AWA Studios is one of the new publishers that we are thankful to have this year. Their Upshot imprint currently offers some of the most solid and sometimes surprising titles in comics now. AWA's Upshot series have their own distinctive personality and feel that sets them apart part from other publishers' lines. They remind us of Vertigo Comics at their peak in the 1990s, combining strong genre plots with an undertone of political and social commentary.

Michael Straczynski and Mike Deodato Jr. – AWA's first superhero series featuring a world in turmoil after a virus wipes out a significant chunk of the population and a fascist government takes over America. Some survivors develop superpowers and and form a resistance movement to fight the government.

Year Zero by Benjamin Percy and Ramon Rosanas – globe-trotting zombie apocalypse tale that follows different survivors in different parts of the world who find their own ways to survive, whether it's a rogue Yakuza hitman in Japan, a streetwise urchin in Mexico, a band of women in Afghanistan or a prepper nerd in America.
