Great, just what I needed, a new graphic novel obsession.
This book is wonderful! I read a preview of the Giant Days series in one of the Lumberjanes books and was intrigued. I checked this book out from the library and now I'm already hunting Amazon for a copy.
The characters are so amazing! Of course you fall in love with Esther right away. She's that interesting cool person I wish I could be if I was just 1000% more confident in my own skin. And Daisy is just so adorable and innocent (with surprise yogic powers!). Even Susan grows on you. I wasn't a big fan of her at the start of the collection, but by the end, I was all in.
Sarcastic, hilarious, amazing book with interesting stories and fantastic artwork. Love, love, love!
The Not on the Test Edition includes eight chapters of humorous entertainment as well as Giant Days: Self-Published Part 1 (It is so crazy to see the early versions of the characters!), Boom! Box Mix Tape 2015 Short (hilarious!), a Cover Gallery, and a Sketch Gallery. This is a great collected edition for fans of Giant Days. And if you're not a fan of Giant Days (yet), you freakin' should be.
Awesome book. I love it. You should definitely check it out.

The characters really grew on my over the course of the 8-issues. They really seemed to find their voice and it went from an "ok" comic to a really good one - funny, insightful, a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to picking up the next two volumes and I'll be sticking with this series. Highly enjoyable. Only complaint - lack of extras in the oversized edition...lacking extras.

My brother-in-law got me this collection for Christmas and even though I've already read the volumes contained within, my love for Giant Days made this a delight as I able to speed through many issues at once without stopping and even read a prequel comic illustrated by John Allison in the extras that portrays the events alluded to in the first issue that cemented Daisy, Susan, and Esther's friendship. If anyone hasn't started Giant Days this is perfect, introducing college hall-mates and their delightful shenanigans (drama field! Gordon the pigeon!) There are no superheroes in thisx (who need them?) only many, many fantastic faces and rock-solid friendship.
