PREVIEW: Golem from Magnetic Press Hits Stores March 30th, Check Out a Preview Now

The latest from Magnetic Press, Golem, Hits Shelves This Week

By Nolan P. Smith

Thanks to Magnetic Press, check out a preview from their latest graphic novel, GOLEM, written & illustrated by LRNZ. What’s it about? Here’s the official word from Magnetic Press:

Set in a future, post-Eurozone Italy, entrenched in a culture of hyper-capitalism, GOLEM follows young Steno Critone as he is kidnapped during a political protest gone sour.  Taken in by the band of labeled “terrorists,” he learns that things are not as they seem in society, and that he has the power to not only change the city, but reality itself.

This intensely imaginative political-sci-fi graphic novel is a visual tour de force, created by contemporary design icon Lorenzo Ceccotti, better known as LRNZ, whose design-influenced illustration provides a lush, fluid backdrop of manga-like dynamism with the cinematic scope of western comics, creating a style that is wholly unique and absolutely breathtaking.

It is in stores this Wednesday, March 30th. If you have never checked out a book from Magnetic Press, then you are missing out. The degree of quality that goes into every release is outstanding. I have been looking forward to this book since it was announced, I cannot wait to read it!

Want to see what other comic creators are saying about this book? Then read on!
