Really enamored with Aimee de Jongh’s cartooning in DAYS OF SAND. It’s a lovely book about the struggles of the self and spirit with circumstances beyond its earthly control and the shortcomings of “looking in from the outside,” with some stunning art that amplifies its humanity.
Today I also read all of THE GOOD ASIAN, which is tremendous on all fronts: smart and propulsive and incisive and moving, with some absolutely gorgeous art that really elevates it. It’s in complete command of what it wants to say and how—just a wonder to witness. @erikaschnatz
Adam de Souza’s ISH really knocked me over. A striking bit of comics poetry exploring the wounds that heal and the wounds you learn to heal around; a beautiful display of the tentative and the ephemeral. A book that serves as a testament to the power of the whole form. I love it.
This morning I read Thomas Ott’s R.I.P.: BEST OF 1985–2004, which was one hell of a book. Some stories are naturally stronger than others, but the heights are astounding—troubling, haunting little stories of obsessive brutality and futility, stunningly rendered and realized.
Just finished reading June's JONNA AND THE UNPOSSIBLE MONSTERS #10, and this series is, as ever, a treat; a bit of pure, energetic, kinetic comics, delightful to read and wonderful to witness. I really do love this book. (Preview images supplied by Oni.) @ChrisSamnee @LauraSamnee
Maria Capelle Frantz’s THE CHANCELLOR AND THE CITADEL is such a lovely, loving comic. I’m a bit biased, having made a short comic with Maria, but I do adore their work, and this book is a testament to their skill—a striking act of emotional kintsugi, with absolutely stunning art.
Finally got a chance to sit down and read GARDENER, and it is a lovely book. A fun story about global-scale endings and beginnings, with some gorgeous cartooning. Having read the first three issues previously, it's great to see how this story has developed. @bernardobri
Really excited to be the 101st backer of the latest @Short_Box project, A CAT'S DAY by @genniieeee. This book looks like a gem of a comic, and ShortBox projects are always worthwhile, so I'm very much looking forward to getting my hands on it. Back it!
