So Long Sad Love – Mirion Malle
To say that I am a fan of Mirion’s work is an understatement. She always hits her target: our feelings! With So Long Sad Love and her incredibly well written scenario, Mirion Malle gives us the trail of a toxic relationship and how to exit to find true peace.
Even though I do not quite like the -spoiler- happy ending because of the -oh so classic -: “you always have to find love to be happy.’’ It is truly a gem of independent comic.
By the way, she’s French! Go grab her books!
Fungirl – Elizabeth Pich
Have you ever seen a girl wearing a dildo in the kitchen she shares
with her roommate? No? Well, now is your time to change that by reading the eccentric comic that Fungirl is.
We follow Fungirl in her daily life and the graphic novel is silly, outrageous but damn, so fun-ny! I’ve never seen anything quite like that. Try it and you might laugh your head off or perhaps not but that’s quite sad for you :)
Girl Juice – Benji Nate
Another crazy cuckoo girl story! Do I sense a pattern here in my readings? Mmmh…
Living with roommates, the camaraderie between the girls is hilarious and yet real. Rent to pay, preys to seduc… uh boys to seduce, life crisis… Everything that makes a twenty something realise there’s so much more to life to live.
ON A SUNBEAM – Tillie Walden
If I had a franc every time I recommended this comic, I could buy a good mozzarella sandwich from the Anthropole cafeteria. Nonetheless, it is truly a masterpiece of science fiction.
Queer, inclusive, fantastically written and drawn. What more could you ask for? The stories of two girls meeting and never letting go.
+ cool creatures and spaceships!
