Dan's Top pick
RAI RAI RAI GN VOL 01
(W/A) Yoshiaki
Implanted with an extraterrestrial entity, a former space pest exterminator battles deadly alien threats-all to pay her bills!
Sumire Ichigaya’s got it tough. She’s drowning in debt, surrounded by noisy neighbors, fighting for discount supermarket meals, and working a dead-end job exterminating space pests leftover from a failed alien invasion. It seems like things just can’t get any worse-until she’s abducted by aliens and wakes up with a monstrous new arm and a foul-mouthed voice in her head!
All Sumire wanted to do was work her way out of debt-and maybe stop getting abducted by UFOs-but now that she’s host to a massive alien arm with a mind of its own… well, she still got bills to pay, but now she’s also got to worry about freaky extraterrestrial monsters and a company full of alien exterminators just waiting to autopsy her!

MY GORILLA FAMILY GN
(W/A) Iijima Ichiro

Only three ships have survived the 100 brutal stages of boat racing. Having fought mega sea monsters, riptide hell storms, and whip smart competitors, they must now face each other in the final sprint to the finish line. Does the humble sailboat the Boulie Bear have what it takes to beat the Slick Van Vex and the Indestructible Solid Slope?
BRAYDEN's Top pick
THIS PLACE KILLS ME GN
(W) Mariko Tamaki (A/CA) Nicole Goux
At Wilberton Academy, few students are more revered than the members of the elite Wilberton Theatrical Society-a.k.a. the WTS-and no one represents that exclusive club better than Elizabeth Woodward. Breathtakingly beautiful, beloved by all, and a talented thespian, it’s no surprise she’s starring as Juliet in the WTS’s performance of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy. But when she’s found dead the morning after opening night, the whole school is thrown into chaos.
Transfer student Abby Kita was one of the last people to see Elizabeth alive, and when local authorities deem the it-girl’s death a suicide, Abby’s not convinced. She’s sure there’s more to Wilburton and the WTS than meets the eye. As she gets tangled in prep school intrigues, Abby quickly realizes that Elizabeth was keeping secrets. Was one of those secrets worth killing for?
MARK's Top pick
METAMAUS: A LOOK INSIDE A MODERN CLASSIC GN
(W/A) Art Spiegelman
Art Spiegelman’s Maus is an undisputed modern classic. Part history, part memoir, all comic, it recounts his father’s chilling experiences during the Holocaust, with Jews drawn as wide-eyed mice and Nazis as menacing cats. In 1992, it became the first graphic novel to win a Pulitzer Prize.
In MetaMaus, Spiegelman welcomes readers into his world and the thirteen years-long artistic process behind his seminal book. In extensive interviews with the author and his family-including Spiegelman’s original conversation with his father, which served as the foundational narrative of Maus-MetaMaus grapples with the original work’s most foundational questions: Why write about the Holocaust? Why choose comics as a medium? Why mice?
Richly interspersed with excerpts from Spiegelman’s own sketchbooks, as well as drawings by Holocaust survivors and archival photographs, MetaMaus is a vivid glimpse into the creative life of an artist, the vital work of a historian, and the birth of a magnum opus.
Nick's Top Family pick!

Brooke and her blended family are settling into their new life nicely, but when Jayla announces that she and her dad spotted a moose on the trail while Brooke was back at camp, life in the family RV suddenly starts to feel crowded.
