Dan's Top pick
GROMMETS TP
(W) Rick Remender & Brian Posehn (A/CA) Brett Parson
Two outcast best friends navigate the Sacramento suburbs of 1984, where they find a home in skateboard culture and punk rock. Grommets is both an authentic look at ’80s skate culture-a snapshot of the generation that turned skating into a worldwide phenomenon-as well as a heartfelt coming-of-age story following two friends from troubled homes, navigating their damage in an era when no one cared. The series’ title sprints from skater slang. A “grommet” is a commonly used term for a young up-and-coming skater or surfer. Since the ’60s, it’s been used to describe the next generation of kids who, with youthful exuberance, love the sport but want to put their spin on it.
Perfect for fans of John Hughes’ Brat Pack teen movies, Freaks & Geeks, and Dazed & Confused.
Collects Grommets #1-7.
Also available with this alternative wraparound cover!
Ross' Top pick
FREE FOR ALL (ONE-SHOT) (MR)
(W/A) Patrick Horvath
From Eisner Award-nominated writer/artist Patrick Horvath (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees) comes a 56-page, self-contained one-shot that delivers a brutal new vision of capitalism by combat…
In the future, the World Finance League exists to benefit all, randomly choosing those from among the billionaires and trillionaires of the world and presenting them with a choice: either donate half of their assets to the common good-or defend them in ritual combat. Reigning champion and real estate magnate Ted Brooks has 22 victories under his belt-defending the wealth he schemed and stabbed to get-when he is forced to face his ex-wife, Luella Dominguez, in a fight to the death. Luella has been training, waiting for this moment. But will she have what it takes to defeat the man who would do anything-absolutely anything-to keep his fortune?
It’s every shareholder for themselves when death and bankruptcy collide in Free for All, a giant-sized, one-shot spectacle of commerce and carnage coming this March from Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Patrick Horvath!
Brayden's Top pick(S)
HAPPY ENDINGS GN
(W/A) Lucie Bryon
THREE ROMANCE STORIES, ONE CREATOR! Once upon a time, there was a cemetery gardener who fell in love with a professional grave mourner, with a look of a ghost. Once upon a time, there was an Art student who asked a young man to pose for her on New Year’s Eve. Once upon a time, there were agents from the future sent to our present, to a small seaside town, to fix a temporal cat related paradox. They found themselves enjoying Italian ice cream while watching sunsets and no longer wanted to return to their dimension. And they ended up… who knows where. All beautiful things must come to an end, but if we must choose, let it be beautiful.
In HAPPY ENDINGS, the new hit graphic novel from LUCIE BRYON (THIEVES), all stories are intwined.
And they all end up with a smile.
STRANGE BEDFELLOWS GN
(W/A) Ariel Slamet Ries
In the not-too-distant future, most of humanity resides on its last-ditch effort at utopia: Meridian, a remote alien planet where you’re more likely to be born superhuman than left-handed. None of that is important to Oberon Afolayan.
Since his mildly public breakdown, his whole life seems to be spiraling out of control-from dropping out of university to breaking up with his boyfriend, it seems like only a karmic inevitability when he wakes up one day with the ability to conjure his dreams in the real world. Oberon’s newfound powers come with a facsimile of his high school crush, Kon, who mysteriously dropped off the face of the planet almost three years ago, and who is a little more infuriating (if not also infuriatingly hot) than Oberon remembers.
Oberon might have more on his plate than he originally thought, but is giving up his dreams-even the one he might have accidentally fallen in love with-the only way to find happiness in reality?
MArk's Top pick
MUYBRIDGE HC (MR)
(W/A) Guy Delisle
Sacramento, California, 1870. Pioneer photographer Eadweard Muybridge becomes entangled in railroad robber baron Leland Stanford’s delusions of grandeur. Tasked with proving Stanford’s belief that a horse’s hooves do not touch the ground while galloping at full speed, Muybridge gets to work with his camera. In doing so, he inadvertently creates one of the single most important technological advancements of our age-the invention of time-lapse photography and the mechanical ability to capture motion.
Critically-acclaimed cartoonist Guy Delisle (Pyongyang) returns with another engrossing foray into nonfiction: a biography about Eadweard Muydbridge, the man who made pictures move. Translated from the French by Helge Dascher & Rob Aspinall, Muybridge turns a spotlight on what lives in the shadow of an individual’s ambition for greatness, and proves that Eadweard Muybridge deserves to be far more than just another historical footnote.
