Sci-Fi Maximum Ride: The Manga, Vol. 1 “Max” is a human-avian hybrid who has escaped from a science lab along with her Flock, only to face new horrors in their attempts to rescue a kidnapped sibling and uncover tough truths. A great adaptation for fans of the bestselling series of YA novels, but accessible enough for first-timers visiting Max’s world.

I Am Their Silence With an awesomely complex (and infectiously likable) lead, and a number of modern twists on some classic noir tropes, the story ultimately becomes as much a circuitous (yet tender) unpacking of a struggle with mental illness as it is a seemingly classic murder mystery story.

The Shaolin Cowboy: Beginning of the End Results--21 Years of Blood, Sweat, and Chainsaws This is exactly the kind of book you get when you let a mad genius like Darrow have total creative control! Funny as it is grim, beautiful as it is unsettling… slick, violent, with a thousand WTF moments, and oh so punny, this is a legendary piece of comics history.

Battle Royale Deluxe Edition, Vol. 1 From Gantz to Danganronpa to the much more recent Immortality and Punishment, there is hardly a book in this category since that doesn’t owe some debt to Takami-san and Taguchi-san’s bloody, erotic classic.

H.P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Out of Time Those well versed in Lovecraft’s works will know Shadow Out of Time as one of his more bizarre stories in an already bizarre retinue, but the artwork is just so “compellingly grounded” it keeps the reader rooted firmly in the horrific nature of what’s essentially the ultimate body snatching/body horror story.

Swimming at Midnight Bravely confronting society’s notion that “a woman who wants to control her life is always asking too much,” the result is a courageous exploration of camaraderie, motherhood, and social justice — but ultimately, it’s about the powerful transformation of finding meaning in your fears.

FolkLore - The Fox's Tale It’s the kind of book that encourages you to slow down and explore all its subtle intricacies throughout, and feels like a budding version of similar artists like James Stokoe, Tom Parkinson-Morgan or even the great Geof Darrow.

Indigenous Peoples of North America: Haudenosaunee From the shared languages that unite their various peoples, to their more ubiquitous shared history of displacement and resettlement, there’s more relevant Native American history in just a handful of these pages than, sadly, I was ever exposed to in my own childhood education.
