“Moebius” by Nicolas Labarre
I love Moebius’ work, but did not know much about the artist’s life. This Biography Series published by the University Press of Mississippi is fantastic.

Absolute Wonder Woman, volume 1 by Kelly Thompson, Hayden Sherman, Mattia De Iulis, and Jordie Bellaire.
This is my favorite of the absolute line. Stunning visuals. An epic vision of Diana, the last Amazon. Raised in hell by Circe and armed with magic and hope. Fantastic.

“Chris Claremont” by J Andrew Deman. I can’t fully express how excited I am for this series of short books about comics creators. And I’m so glad Deman handled this Claremont book, further expanding Deman’s Claremont scholarship and giving him the chance to talk about Claremont comics beyond X.

“Metamorpho” by Al Ewing, Steve Leiber, and Lee Loughridge was just the fabulously freaky collection of comics I needed this past weekend.
Al Ewing is one of my favorite writers in comics. Steve Leiber is a fantastic and funny artist. Lee Loughridge is a star colorist. Definitely go read this.

“American War” by Omar El Akkad.
After reading “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This” , I really wanted to read more by the author. This novel is a powerful description of America in a near-future civil war with a timely stinger about narratives and the necessity of truth.

“Kalivas! Or, Another Tempest” by Nick Mamatas
This was a very fun sci-fine-telling of the tempest. I was not expecting the various Greek bits (a high-stakes zeibekiko with drones!). Mamatas is always an excellent read.

“The Weird and the Eerie” by Mark Fisher is excellent. A generous book that opens up so many little avenues to explore. And it discusses several books and films that are now on my list to dig into.

This book was fantastic. Vera is trying to keep her family together while the US destabilizes further. And maybe her dad is a Russian spy?

“Frieze Frame” by A.E. Stallings.
Give the marbles back, obviously. I spent two weeks in Greece with my family this summer and this wonderful book helped to give me a larger historical context of Elgin’s theft of the Parthenon marbles. Go to the Acropolis museum if you ever have a chance.

“Spent” by Alison Bechdel.
Another obviously fantastic comic novel by Bechdel. The passages of doom scrolling interrupting creative work - or the doom scroll as something that can make work feel meaningless - are deeply relatable and resonate with me.

Really had fun reading this collection and loved the interstitial art by Diana Scherer. And by “fun” I mean that this collection of stories provided so much to think about as it briefly opened speculative windows.

“Automatic Noodle” by Annalee Newitz. I’ve really enjoyed all of Newitz’ recent sci-fi and non-fiction work. This short book did not disappoint. Few people are really exploring the ramifications of true AI, and how AI would be treated, like Newitz. Go read this and “The Terraformers”.
