Yeah liked it ok- my super “compact” format did not do it justice- my eyes are not good enough for this DC!

Graphic Novels get their own 2024 mid-year faves list. In the case of Batman/Superman World's Finest, Nightwing and the Human Target, the fave goes for every entry in the series. Had to slide in my favourite art and picture book, as well.

And last but certainly not least, quarterly graphic novel faves. Had some truly outstanding Batman finds these past three months, but nothing topped Far Sector. Human Target made a splash near the beginning of the year and both volumes have stayed in my mind. Brooms is just wonderful. Graphic novels are a great balancing point for tackling weighty non-fiction, as long as they're good. 😏

THAT goes on the list of favourites of the year. Holy FUCK what an achievement. I will somewhat shamefacedly admit this is my first N.K. Jemisin, but it certainly makes me want to pick up her novels! And the art, oh my goodness, I will also be looking for more graphic novels illustrated by Jamal Campbell. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Every panel showcases maximum effort, not just beautiful aliens and imaginative fight choreography, but the sci fi scapes of my dreams, conveying the experience of strong emotion, the close ups on mouths or eyes that tell you everything you need to know about what's about to go down. And can we hear a hallelujah for the superhero wearing a variety of casual and dressy clothes and hairstyles in their downtime?! 8mo

Robotswithpersonality 3/? Not to forget the writing: The discussions around emotion, the hope and tensions of peoples with a war torn history living together, the weighty comparisons to humanity's flaws, the rookie finding her way in a new position, guided by an ethical compass above all, the humour, the references; I do not have the words to summarize everything I loved about this book. 8mo

Robotswithpersonality 4/4 I want more graphic novels about strong, vulnerable, occasionally goofy with it, brave, sassy, (com)passionate bi/pan/xeno(?) sexual Green Lantern Sojourner 'Jo' Mullein, who has successfully managed to actually get me interested in my first Green Lantern graphic novel ever. I have to assume work of this calibre means there already exists a demand for more in the future. Oh, pretty please. 🙏🏻

Alien vampire vibes. Do you suppose hugs might be an adequate substitute to, y'know, eating everyone? 🤗

Yeah, Sojourner "Jo" Mullein is now officially my favourite Green Lantern. ?

Jemisin blends classic sci-fi tropes with contemporary social issues, such as drug use, the gig economy, voter suppression, and police brutality. Jo Mullein is a fiery protagonist who DC should incorporate into its pantheon. Campbell's art is wildly good.

I can't overstate how cool Jamal Campbell's character designs are.

From its gorgeous art to its code-switching dialogue, Far Sector is a fiercely contemporary take on Green Lantern. Jemisin weaves together tropes from noir, the importance of the emotions in Green Lantern lore, and racial--or interspecies--prejudice.

I started FAR SECTOR last night, and ooh boy. This is damned good comics. N.K. Jemisin‘s script and Jamal Campbell‘s art jive perfectly. I can‘t put it down.
