In excitement for the new Disney+ series, we read American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang. The story of three apparently unrelated characters: Jin Wang, who moves to a new neighborhood with his family only to discover that he's the only Chinese-American student at his new school; the powerful Monkey King, subject of one of the oldest and greatest Chinese fables; and Chin-Kee, a personification of the ultimate negative Chinese stereotype, who is ruining his cousin Danny's life with his yearly visits. Their lives and stories come together with an unexpected twist in this book with themes of self-acceptance and embracing your heritage.

This week we're visiting one of all-time greats with Preacher by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. As fans of the AMC series we were excited to visit the source material. The story of Jesse Custer, a preacher in the small Texas town of Annville. Custer is accidentally possessed by the supernatural creature named Genesis, whose power might rival that of God Himself, making Jesse potentially the most powerful being in the universe. Driven by a strong sense of right and wrong, Custer journeys across the United States attempting to literally find God, who abandoned Heaven the moment Genesis was born.
