RANDOM HOUSE

ONE OF THOSE DAYS HC GN

(W) Yehuda Devir (A) Yehuda Devir (CA) Usamaru Furuya

Yehuda and Maya Devir began illustrating their life together in comics in 2016, when they moved into their first apartment in Tel Aviv as newlyweds. In the years since, One of Those Days has become one of the biggest viral webcomics on the Internet. Yehuda Devir grew up on superhero comic books, and the Devirs' visual style is colorful, dynamic, and engaging. But the comics' action-packed style belies their intimate, slice-of-life content: Yehuda does battle with the hairy, tentacled monstrosity clogging the shower drain; Maya transforms into a raging She-Hulk while waxing her legs; and the two of them dodge, duck, and weave as they tend to their cherubic new baby, Ariel. This collection shares stories that are heartwarming, hilarious, and universally recognizable, all rendered in a wild, larger-than-life style.

DC COMICS

(W) John Ridley (A) Giuseppe Camuncoli (CA) Jamal Campbell

Academy Award-winning screenwriter John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, Let It Fall) examines the mythology of the DC Universe in this compelling new miniseries that reframes iconic moments of DC history and charts a previously unexplored sociopolitical thread as seen through the prism of DC Super Heroes who come from traditionally disenfranchised groups.

This unique new series presents its story as prose by Ridley married with beautifully realized illustrations by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Andrea Cucchi. Issue #1 follows the story of Jefferson Pierce, the man who will one day become Black Lightning, as he makes his way from being a young track star to a teacher and, ultimately, to his role as a hero. Future issues focus on characters such as Karen and Mal Duncan, Tatsu Yamashiro, and Renee Montoya.

Extensively researched and masterfully executed, The Other History of the DC Universe promises to be an experience unlike any other. You may think you know the history of the DC Universe…but the truth is far more complex. The Other History of the DC Universe isn’t about saving the world—it’s about having the strength to simply be who you are.

IDW - TOP SHELF

PARENTHESIS GN

(W) Elodie Durand (A) Elodie Durand (CA) Elodie Durand

A triumph of graphic memoir, Parenthesis narrates the author's experience with tumor-related epilepsy-losing herself, and finding herself again. Julie is barely out of her teens when a tumor begins pressing on her brain, ushering in a new world of seizures, memory gaps, and loss of self. Suddenly, the sentence of her normal life has been interrupted by the opening of a parenthesis that may never close. Based on the real experiences of cartoonist Élodie Durand, Parenthesis is a gripping testament of struggle, fragility, acceptance, and transformation which was deservedly awarded the Revelation Prize of the Angoulême International Comics Festival. Pull Quotes: "In this graphic memoir, Élodie Durand tries to reconnect the threads of her memory... the resulting testimony is touching in all its simplicity... the sober and refined drawings accompany her story with a great deal of accuracy and sensitivity...  the inclusion of sketches made during Durand's convalescence adds even more strength and emotion to her black and white artistry." - BD Gest'

FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS

PARTY HC UNGERER

(W) Tomi Ungerer (A) Tomi Ungerer

Tomi Ungerer eviscerates the 1 percent in this series of cartoon vignettes (a proto-graphic novel) that are unfortunately as relevant now as the time they were drawn and shall remain so forever and ever. Created in the 1960s, The Party takes place in the Hamptons. It's attended by captains of industry, tycoons, magnates, moguls, and various undistinguishable fat cats, luxuriating in their tuxedos, evening gowns, and prattling small talk. The depiction of one grotesquerie after another - often couples - cavorting through the haze of booze and caviar, with the occasional wanton display of sybaritically libidinal impulse. Ungerer accompanies each full-page image with a hilarious, hand-lettered caption, which provides the characters' names and a brief deadpan description of their social standings, creating a dissonance between image and text.

IRON CIRCUS COMICS

PATIENCE & ESTHER GN

(W) S. W. Searle (A) S. W. Searle

DRAWN & QUARTERLY

PAUL AT HOME GN

(W) Michel Rabagliati (A) Michel Rabagliati (CA) Michel Rabagliati

Paul at Home is Michel Rabagliati's most personal book yet, a riveting, emotional, and frequently amusing take on the losses and loneliness of being closer to retirement than to university. Paul is in his mid-50s, a successful cartoonist with an achy shoulder living in a house he once shared with his wife and daughter. Left unspoken but lingering in the background is Paul's divorce after a three decade relationship with his high school sweetheart. Online dating only seems to make the world worse. Rabagliati doesn't shy away from these intimate issues, approaching them as much with self-deprecating humor as with sorrow or pain.
