Cairo is a story about five wildly different characters and touches on several controversial issues. At the root of it all is a whimsical adventure story that interweaves a drug runner, a journalist, an activist, an American expatriate, an Israeli soldier and a genie in a hookah. It’s got humor, gun fights, sword fights and a flying prayer carpet. Written by G. Willow Wilson, she converted to Islam while attending Boston University and later became the first Western journalist to interview Sheikh Ali Gomaa after his promotion to the position of Grand Mufti of Egypt. I read this book in one sitting today and enjoyed every bit of it. The story was fun, humorous and thought provoking. Wilson currently has an ongoing series called Air that I’ve read recently. So far, it’s not as good as Cairo, but the story is intriguing and I’m anxious to see where she takes it.

Y: The Last Man, written by Brian K. Vaughn, is a series about Yorick Brown, who is the only man to survive a mysterious plague that caused the simultaneous death of every male mammal. He travels with a mysterious agent sworn to protect him and a brilliant geneticist in search of the answers as to why he is the last man on earth. Oh, and he has a pet monkey too. The story touches on the collapse of infrastructure, women coping with the loss of men, the knowledge that humanity is doomed to extinction, and even the value of male impersonators in post-plague society. The writing is touches on quite a few serious subjects but is also well known for its humor too. Initially, I wasn’t too fond of the story, but I grew fond of it when I recently gave it a second chance. Give it a try and see if Y: The Last Man is for you.

Truth in 24 tells the story of Team Audi’s quest to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2008. Narrated by Jason Statham, I half-expected his abs to appear in the documentary but they didn’t. You can download the entire film for free on iTunes (US). I highly recommend it for everyone, even if you’re not a fan of motor sports.

I should start renting out my books to help recoup some of my bi-weekly comic expenses. On a side note, I’m sure I would’ve aced every single college course I took, especially Finance and Statistics, if my textbooks were illustrated and its contents contained guns, swear words and every concept involved imminent world doom. Actually, I’m pretty sure of this.
