What are you reading in November/19?

Hey, you!... Yeah, you! What is the name of this book in your hands?

Takane & Hana Vol. 8

This month I have an assortment with no particular theme: American Born Chinese, Climate Changed, Birding Is My Favorite Video Game, Nnedi Okorafor's LaGuardia, the new Randall Munroe sort-of-comics book How To ... and I haven't finished with Hellboy yet ...

Picked up Submerged by Vita Ayala published by Vault comics. a quick coming of age story, i enjoyed it. nice colors.

I should re-read Hellboy...

I am reading the Daredevil Ultimate collections by Bendis and it is unbelievable what he and Alex Maleev saved for the third and last book. The arc The Golden Age must be one of best sequential arts that Marvel produced, like the works of David Aja in Hawkeye.

I've watched the first season of The Boys and it was surprisenly good. Most of people thinks that the Escathology is Garth Ennis' strongest point, but I think that it is his main weakness. In the Seth Rogen's adaptation, the most polemic points are cleanned off, but it is left the core concept; and it holds!

Agreed, the Bendis/Maleev team on Daredevil was the best!

Sky in Stereo Vol. 2 is the rather harrowing story of a young woman's stay in an English mental hospital in the 1990's, following a strong dose of LSD. I imagine (but don't know) that it's autobiographical. I enjoyed it.

Reading The Immortal Hulk, some pros and cons, but overall it's kept me interested.

The Thanksgiving holiday means extra reading time for me, so I've picked up two different crime comics: Virgil by Steve Orlando and Bury the Lede by Gaby Dunn.

I am destroying my credit card with early Black Friday sales. My wife will go nuts when the packs start to arrive.

Reading Master Keaton Naoki Urasawa. Nicely drawn, the main character is reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes, good stuff.

I've finished Lady S in which Jean Van Hamme weaves a story of Suzan Fitzroy, an American Diplomatic Aide with a convoluted past, which is used to blackmail her. This is an action packed spy story in the tradition of John Le Carré with a strong female lead. Van Hamme is fastly rising to the top of my list of favorite writers.
Regarding the art, Philippe Aymond has a naturalistic style but totally influenced by the ligne claire school with vibrant colours.
2 thumbs up.

I'd like to strongly recommed a check on the catalogue of Cinebook, which contains Blake & Mortimer, Le Scorpion and XIII; and Europe Comics, with Glorious Summers, The Campbells, The Eagles of Rome and Valerian. Both publishing companies have good production values and are a breath of fresh air.
Also, there is Dark Horse, that is bringing works of Chaboute to the English readers.

I've been enjoying some Marvel collections that are apparently being marketed as middle grade graphic novels (which in practical terms makes them slightly smaller dimensions, and affordable at US$12.99).

Ironheart: Riri Williams
Hawkeye: Private Eye
