It’s Adam’s turn to pick a book from last year, and he’s bringing us Deviant by James Tynion IV and Joshua Hixon.  This is a nailbiting ho-done-it that kept us all in suspense up to the very last panel.  We all had a lot to say about this one, as it landed right in each of our wheelhouses for different reasons.  It had a neo-noir style mystery at its core, it touched on serial killer lore, and also serves as a very important conversation about queer representation in the media.

It’s Adam’s turn to take us back to the year of his birth. And why not also go back to the birth of comics? It’s 1985 and we’re talking about The Dreamer by Will Eisner. This is the semi-autobiographical story of not only Eisner’s rise as one of the best to ever do it, but the story of comics itself. It’s a love letter to comics as told in one of the first “Graphic novels.”

Get ready for a squealchy one! This week, we're peeling back the pages of Cacey's pick from 2024: THE RIBBON QUEEN by Garth Ennis, Jacen Burrows, & Dan Brown. One part supernatural revenge elemental unleashed upon some deserving monsters; one part modern social commentary on police brutality and accountability in America; and it all comes together as one powerful (and icky) narrative!                                                                   

 ---TW: s*xual assault, police violence, racism, misogyny, and extreme body horror!---
