Another fantastic graphic memoir. This one I read online, though I much prefer to read these in print, as the art pops off the page. Sweeney chronicles her experiences living with a rare disease called Bruck syndrome which causes chronic pain and requires use of a wheelchair. She remembers hospital stays in her childhood and shows the way she feels seeking treatment which is hard to come by due to the rarity of the disease.

Maus 2 | Art Spiegelman

pick

Maus pt. 2 is about Vladek‘s time in the concentration camps and what he did to survive until he was freed. It also offers a bigger look at how the Holocaust affected the rest of Vladek‘s life and how the author has struggled to come to terms learning about his parents‘ experiences and how that has directly affected his life.

Delicious in Dungeon, Vol. 1 | Ryoko Kui

so-so

I found it a bit slow and lacking in the urgency to, you know, go save the guy's sister. The concept is fun, though, and I enjoy how much of a scientist Laios is (though not explicitly on page called a scientist, he's clearly fascinated by how monsters work).

I'm finding this a bit slow, but I did giggle about the whole recommendation not to eat basilisk raw, because of the risk of Campylobacter!

Criminal Volume 1: Coward | Ed Brubaker

pick

Some of the finest crime/noir storytelling in comics. Brubaker is a master at this. He has various crime series, and I cannot find fault with any of them. Bastard makes it look easy!
He is leagues above in quality over any other comic writer attempting crime fiction. There is no contest. Follow this man‘s writing, and you will never be disappointed.
