The Strange Death of Alex Raymond
Dave Sim
@GrahamSig @ianmacewan @arpadokay @atothe_d @Squarehead3331 one of my favorite details about that rancid book HOUSE ON FIRE is that they got Dave Sim to do a pull-quote and credited him as “Dave Sim (The Strange Death of Alex Raymond)” as if that’s what he’s known for

A Guest in the House
E. M. Carroll
It has just come to my attention that there's a new Emily Carroll graphic novel, A GUEST IN THE HOUSE, coming from First Second this August, and suddenly life seems worth living. Carroll is one of the absolute best cartoonists you'll ever come across, and I am absurdly excited. https://t.co/0TLCUCahrk

Wild: Or So I Was Born to Be
Cristian Castelo
God, Cristian Castelo’s WILD! OR SO I WAS BORN TO BE is an absolutely stunning, beautifully stylized piece of work. A scorchingly energetic comic, exciting and excited in equal measure, with some of the best cartooning I’ve seen—ever. Very easily one of my favorite books of 2022. https://t.co/KMPGVMOT9b

A Land Called Tarot
Gael Bertrand
Off the top of my head: Gael Bertrand’s A LAND CALLED TAROT Linnea Sterte’s GARDEN OF SPHERES Wyatt and Choo’s THE WELL Russell, Kindzierski, and Showman’s adaptation of RING OF THE NIBELUNG Spurrier, Bergara, Lopes, and Campbell’s STEP BY BLOODY STEP Mizuki’s KITARO https://t.co/ho4CFUgPwu

Cursed Pirate Girl
Jeremy Bastian
I’d been meaning to read Jeremy Bastian’s CURSED PIRATE GIRL for years, and it’s an immense amount of fun. Bastian’s writing and art are both incredibly controlled, bursting with charm and detail without ever feeling forced or overwrought. An absurdly rich, absurdly fun comic. https://t.co/jncWCrc8ME

King City
Brandon Graham
Living the Line releasing a new comic by Brandon Graham, whose bibliography includes "King City" and "cease and desists to websites covering the numerous accusations of sexually-predatory behavior made about him, as well as his deeply transphobic and racist response." Pathetic.

Bugs Bunny's Castle Adventure: Looney Tunes
Jonathan Patrick Riccardi
my favorite PUNISHER (Knights) story is ROOTS by Ennis and Joe Quesada; great art by Quesada, with a formal conceit (fixed grid, fixed POV from within a tortured mobster's mouth) that really drives home the "sadistic Looney Tunes" vibe of Ennis' Punisher. great, gruesome stuff https://t.co/qg55MzJSgJ https://t.co/nUASh3zMHf

Shuna's Journey
Hayao Miyazaki
Hayao Miyazaki’s SHUNA’S JOURNEY is a genuine stunner of a book. It’s very easy to compare it to NAUSICAÄ but that’s reductive imho (and I love NAUSICAÄ)—it’s incredibly vibrant and absolutely gorgeous on its own terms, and I’m thrilled that it finally got an English release. https://t.co/HVO7X3VDmK

Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe (New Edition)
Alan Moore
if you, like all of us, have been asking yourself “Does Alan Moore know about the time Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo depicted Batman’s cock in a comic?”, I implore you to read WHAT WE CAN KNOW ABOUT THUNDERMAN
