[…] and has said in interviews that she always struggled to fit in. In this book as in Skim and even This One Summer, and she absolutely captures the helplessness and frustration and sometimes-misery of high school. […]

In reply to Kayleigh vW. Absolutely nothing wrong with Saga and Locke and Key. I actually have been meaning to go back to Locke and Key. The run is finished now on that one, right? So I can go ahead and get all the trade paperbacks and just binge on them?

In reply to Stefanie. I was thrilled to see you had liked Sex Criminals! Matt Fraction forever!

In reply to Alex. Aw, I loved Seconds! And I have never heard of Les cites obscures even a little bit, but I will look into this matter.

Well now I really want to read Through the Woods and This One Summer. I’ve been sticking to Saga and Locke and Key lately, and yours sound wonderfully different from what’s currently in my face. So thank you for that.

Everybody seems to be talking about so many good comics these days I can’t keep track of them all! I have the first volume of Sex Criminals waiting for me at the library.

Been reading a lot of them lately! Yesterday finished Second by Bryan Lee O’Malley. Before that went to a Franco-Belgian spree, with Les Cités obscures deserving a highlight (have you heard of them?).

In reply to nikki @bookpunks. Well, in answer to one of your questions: Yeah, that's pretty much all the women we get. Don't go hoping for a whole lot of ladies doing stuff as the comic wears on. :/

In reply to Chris.

Yeah? I haven’t spoken to anyone yet who’s read the first Lemire issue of Hawkeye, so it’s good to hear that it carries on being great. I’ll probably wait for the trade paperback though.

The good news about Fraction is that he’s still a writing fiend! Sex Criminals is still on — though I guess it’s probably wrapping up too? I don’t really know — and OD-Y-C sounds like I will very much want to read it, also.

In reply to Vasilly.

Oh, gosh, you should just read the fairy tale. It’s creepy and strange, and it doesn’t have an altogether happy ending, which I like. Karen Joy Fowler is always writing around “The Six Swans” — she’s said the wing at the end haunts her dreams. (It does mine too.)

Lumberjanes, I want to read it very much! I read Noelle Stevenson’s webcomic Nimona and thought it was just the most delightful thing ever. And Memory has been talking up The Wicked + The Divine.
