Anzuelo
"Ríos pits a group of teens against a changed world in a bid to survive in this stunningly rendered postapocalyptic eco-horror graphic novel." --Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) A gorgeous and brutal story that revolts against the notion of violence as the only response to a life without hope. The Sea, secretly more complex than anyone imagined, rises one day. The horizon folds as the Sea absorbs the world and transforms everything that's been pulled inside it. Three kids find themselves unmoored and lost, but brought together by the physical and mental changes wrought by the tides and a desire to avoid harming any living creature. Anzuelo is the new hand-watercolored graphic novel by the Eisner award-winning cartoonist Emma Ríos (Pretty Deadly, Mirror, I.D.), presented in a deluxe hardcover with archival quality 120gsm paper.

About the Author
Ríos, Emma: - Emma is a cartoonist based in Spain. She shifted her focus to a mix of both architecture and work with small press publishers until working on comics full-time in 2007. Having collaborated with publishers like Marvel and DC, she was able to commit to working on her own creator-owned comics again since 2013, thanks to Image Comics, where she co-edited ISLAND and created I.D., MIRROR in two parts: THE MOUNTAIN and THE NEST with Malay cartoonist Hwei Lim, and where she currently co-creates the critically acclaimed PRETTY DEADLY with Kelly Sue DeConnick. The latter earned Ríos several Eisner Award nominations and a win for Best Cover Artist in 2020.
Praise for this book
"Echoing the transformative odysseys of Octavia Butler and the speculative resilience of Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam trilogy, Emma Ríos's Anzuelo is a story of survival, connection, and evolution that resonates with the depth and mystery of the ocean."--Kelly Sue DeConnick (Bitch Planet)
"Anzuelo beckons us on a walkabout and asks us to listen to the sea and know earth's creatures as our collaborators in what is to come. You are in good hands with master storyteller Emma Ríos. It's a beautiful ride. A must-have graphic novel."--Ann Nocenti (Daredevil, Longshot)
"Ríos employs a limited palette to contrast the commonplace from the strange, as when bright orange seaweed slowly consumes the legs of a corpse, rendered in diluted neutral tones. Watercolor paint techniques lend a diaphanous cast of light and shadow to the characters' muddied, waterlogged existence in this eerie and brutal world populated by merciful and loving characters who never abandon their humanity."-- "--Publishers Weekly (Starred review)"
"Emma is a master of her craft, an absolute beast of an artist with the delicate touch of a poet. There is no one who makes comics with as much lyrical beauty, with such dreamy elegance, as Emma Rios."--E.M. Carroll (Through the Woods)
