This Holiday Season, Give Bigger (Comics)
If you need the perfect comic book Christmas gift for that special someone in your life, you can’t go wrong with a big book. I have some suggestions.
Largo Winch v1: “The Heir” and “The W Group”
When the head of The W Group dies, his adopted son halfway around the world inherits the multinational conglomeration and must sort a big mess out. Welcome to Largo Winch.
Blacksad v6: “They All Fall Down, Part 2”
Things get serious in this book, including the most shocking and cinematic ending of any Blacksad album to date. It’s going to be a long wait for the second half of this story…
Episode 78: The McSpidey Chronicles
An introduction to The McSpidey Chronicles for the podcast listeners.
Dad v3: “On Edge”
Dad takes the kids camping, and it doesn’t go well. Santa shows up. But so does one of the moms. More wonderful fun from Nob!
Omni-Visibilis
When anyone closes their eyes, they see what this man is seeing. Follow that man to see how his life is turned to chaos in this fun Twilight Zone-esque story.
Mamma Mia! v1: “Just the Girls”
Four generations of women living together. What could possibly go wrong? Besides childcare, the truth, intergenerational warfare, and three different parenting styles?
Spirou and Fantasio v14: “The Clockmaker and the Comet”
A time traveling Champignac gathers Spirou, Spip, and Fantasio together for a trip with some urgency to Palombia, where they may get stuck if they’re not careful!
Blacksad v6: “They All Fall Down, Part 1”
Blacksad is back in New York City, and now he’s going to have to deal with magnates, the mafia, and unions. Evil lizards, hard working moles, and cute cats. Welcome back, Blacksad!
Gomer Goof v3: “Gone with the Goof”
It took me three books, but I’m in. Gomer Goof (a/k/a Gaston La Gaffe) is awesome. And Andre Franquin is a genius cartoonist.
