NO KIDDING
Fairsquare Comics
9780999276679 | September 2022
No Kidding details the struggle women go through when making the choice to have or not to have children, but with a humorous flare. I found it to be a very affirming view on the subject as it tackles societal pressure, pregnancy scares, and abortion. The artist uses very bold, feminine colors and a whimsical art style to convey the
internal and psychological struggles women go through just to keep control of their own bodies. It is an important read now, more than ever.

GUILLEM MARCH'S LAURA AND OTHER STORIES
Ablaze
9781950912643 | August 2022
The volume includes a handful of bonus stories, such as one in which Hayao Miyazaki descends from the sky to upbraid March : “Do you really think that you’re deceiving the reader simply by drawing yourself as a female?” Like its heroine, this project is smart and attractive, but has trouble finding its purpose.

CLEMENTINE BOOK ONE
Image Comics

While overlapping character designs occasionally cause visual repetitiveness, Walden’s (Alone in Space) heavy inks and grayscale color pallet complement the eerie, dystopian atmosphere. Depictions of trauma, animosity, and romance intersect in this unflinchingly brutal survival horror tale that is not without hope.
