2021-05-29 "The Dragon Path" and other new comics

[AUDIO VERSION] …and we’re back! The Comics Syllabus podcast returns, this time with a video version of our segments (look for those on this stream!), which this week include… A graphic novel review of “The Dragon Path,” the new book by Ethan Young from Scholastic’s Graphix imprint. The young prince of the Wong Clan has to lead his people through a fraught journey to the Old Land through the Dragon Path! One of our favorite graphic novel creators, Ethan Young, has a new book out for young readers that builds an intriguing fantasy world set in an Asian backdrop and featuring fun characters, along with Young’s characteristic lively art. And then, a segment we’re now calling “Polybagged,” where I talk up some of the new comics out this week that I’m finding interesting. This week, we spend time talking about: “Black Panther” #25 by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Daniel Acuña, Brian Stelfreeze, and Laura Martin (Marvel)“Shadecraft” #3 by Joe Henderson, Lee Garbett, Antonio Fabela (Image)“Blue Flame” #1 by Christopher Cantwell, Adam Gorham, Kurt Michael Russell (Vault) “Bitter Root” #13 by David F.
