Giant Days Vol. 7, Volume 7 by John Allison
4.0
I love this series! Realistic fiction college life that centers on 3 best friends? Yes and yes.
Collection's story lines:
*Over Christmas break, Susan goes home to her separated parents and older, selfish/exhausted/know-it-all collection of sisters
*Horrible roommate Dean finds love in an online game - a sexy steampunk ginger goddess no less!
*Esther realizes she's basically oblivious living under a rock, gets "woke" and into protesting, but can't seduce the attractive activist because she's not vegan and whatever other ethical requirements he has
*Somebody is up to something in their apartment's "lockup" (garage/shed thing? Who knows it's the UK)
I mean CMON, doesn't that just sound like delicious reading for a hot Saturday afternoon?
I love McGraw and Susan's changing relationship. I love Daisy figuring out how to love Ingrid and still be herself. I love Esther's skulls and drama and how she teases customers at the comic shop. Ed has great lines every other panel.
The drawings are so personal and emotive and active - you can feel their personalities radiate off the page, practically jumping and walking and drooping between panels by themselves.
