pickFinally got this book to get caught up in the series. In this one, Hilda and her mom are moved in at Trolberg and Hilda is looking for adventure. What she finds is an unusual bird and winds up getting lost trying to get home. Loved the graphics and the story.
According to Ye Olde Goode Reads, I have read 4 of Clowes' books since 2016, but Monica is the first 5 star. This one truly had the capaciousness, & complexity, of a fleshed out novel. , This has much in common with other Clowes works I have read but it was def. a step beyond. One of the first books that I read after my move back in Feb. & I specifically recall it breaking through my mental fatigue at the time as a special work.

pickI really like the fairy tale elements with Doxta the witch woven into the sci-fi story. This arc had a great twist and cliffhanger.
pickLow pick 3.5 ⭐
An adult comic. The book itself is gorgeous. I love the art and the gold sprayed edges. The book started strong but the language got a bit muddled. I liked the idea of the story but not so much the execution. Still it is very pretty.
This gorgeous comic is about a trans boy who has to escape a nunnery, and then becomes a thief.
I love the juxtaposition of the story set in what appears to be medieval times but the artists keeps sneaking in modern things like this page with the cell phone 🤣😍
I am really enjoyed the art in the comic, and also the humor - as they talk about all of the horrors we use to put people through when we didn't know how to "cure"
"I'm preparing the arsenic and rosewater enema as fast as I can!! Should I put lead in it?"
"Maybe we should add cocaine"
?

pickCouldn‘t find these 2 GN‘s in database, but Plume is Smith‘s other work. We met Smith (author/illustrator) at a Comic-Con, so I have to show off the artwork she did of my cat! Isn‘t it cute?
For Goodness‘ Sake is about a sarcastic guy that has a curse making him have horns. He meets a girl, they road-trip, try to figure out how to get rid of his horns. Really good.
