Emil Ferris’s long-awaited “My Favorite Thing Is Monsters Book Two”

NEXT WEEKEND (June 7–9), I'm in AMHERST, NEW YORK to keynote the 25th Annual Media Ecology Association Convention and accept the Neil Postman Award for Career Achievement in Public Intellectual Activity.

Seven years ago, I was absolutely floored by My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, a wildly original, stunningly gorgeous, haunting and brilliant debut graphic novel from Emil Ferris. Every single thing about this book was amazing:

https://memex.craphound.com/2017/06/20/my-favorite-thing-is-monsters-a-haunting-diary-of-a-young-girl-as-a-dazzling-graphic-novel/

The more I found out about the book, the more amazed I became. I met Ferris at that summer's San Diego Comic Con, where I learned that she had drawn it over a while recovering from paralysis of her right – dominant – hand after a West Nile Virus infection. Each meticulously drawn and cross-hatched page had taken days of work with a pen duct-taped to her hand, a project of seven years.

The wild backstory of the book's creation was matched with a wild production story: first, Ferris's initial publisher bailed on her because the book was too long; then her new publisher's first shipment of the book was seized by the South Korean state bank, from the Panama Canal, when the shipper went bankrupt and its creditors held all its cargo to ransom.

My Favorite Thing Is Monsters told the story of Karen Reyes, a 10 year old, monster-obsessed queer girl in 1968 Chicago who lives with her working-class single mother and her older brother, Deeze, in an apartment house full of mysterious, haunted adults. There's the landlord – a gangster and his girlfriend – the one-eyed ventriloquist, and the beautiful Holocaust survivor and her jazz-drummer husband.

Karen narrates and draws the story, depicting herself as a werewolf in a detective's trenchcoat and fedora, as she tries to unravel the secrets kept by the grownups around her. Karen's life is filled with mysteries, from the identity of her father (her brother, a talented illustrator, has removed him from all the family photos and redrawn him as the Invisible Man) to the purpose of a mysterious locked door in the building's cellar.

But the most pressing mystery of all is the death of her upstairs neighbor, the beautiful Annika Silverberg, a troubled Holocaust survivor whose alleged suicide just doesn't add up, and Karen – who loved and worshiped Annika – is determined to get to the bottom of it.

Karen is tormented by the adults in her life keeping too much from her – and by their failure to shield her from life's hardest truths. The flip side of Karen's frustration with adult secrecy is her exposure to adult activity she's too young to understand. From Annika's cassette-taped oral history of her girlhood in an Weimar brothel and her escape from a Nazi concentration camp, to the sex workers she sees turning tricks in cars and alleys in her neighborhood, to the horrors of the Vietnam war, Karen's struggle to understand is characterized by too much information, and too little.

Ferris's storytelling style is dazzling, and it's matched and exceeded by her illustration style, which is grounded in the classic horror comics of the 1950s and 1960s. Characters in Karen's life – including Karen herself – are sometimes depicted in the EC horror style, and that same sinister darkness crowds around the edges of her depictions of real-world Chicago.

These monster-comic throwbacks are absolute catnip for me. I, too, was a monster-obsessed kid, and spent endless hours watching, drawing, and dreaming about this kind of monster.

But Ferris isn't just a monster-obsessive; she's also a formally trained fine artist, and she infuses her love of great painters into Deeze, Karen's womanizing petty criminal of an older brother. Deeze and Karen's visits to the Art Institute of Chicago are commemorated with loving recreations of famous paintings, which are skillfully connected to pulp monster art with a combination of Deeze's commentary and Ferris's meticulous pen-strokes.

Seven years ago, Book One of My Favorite Thing Is Monsters absolutely floored me, and I early anticipated Book Two, which was meant to conclude the story, picking up from Book One's cliff-hanger ending. Originally, that second volume was scheduled for just a few months after Book One's publication (the original manuscript for Book One ran to 700 pages, and the book had been chopped down for publication, with the intention of concluding the story in another volume).

But the book was mysteriously delayed, and then delayed again. Months stretched into years. Stranger rumors swirled about the second volume's status, compounded by the bizarre misfortunes that had befallen book one. Last winter, Bleeding Cool's Rich Johnston published an article detailing a messy lawsuit between Ferris and her publishers, Fantagraphics:

https://bleedingcool.com/comics/fantagraphics-sued-emil-ferris-over-my-favorite-thing-is-monsters/

The filings in that case go some ways toward resolve the mystery of Book Two's delay, though the contradictory claims from Ferris and her publisher are harder to sort through than the mysteries at the heart of Monsters. The one sure thing is that writer and publisher eventually settled, paving the way for the publication of the very long-awaited Book Two:

https://www.fantagraphics.com/products/my-favorite-thing-is-monsters-book-two

Book Two picks up from Book One's cliffhanger and then rockets forward. Everything brilliant about One is even better in Two – the illustrations more lush, the fine art analysis more pointed and brilliant, the storytelling more assured and propulsive, the shocks and violence more outrageous, the characters more lovable, complex and grotesque.

Everything about Two is more. The background radiation of the Vietnam War in One takes center stage with Deeze's machinations to beat the draft, and Deeze and Karen being ensnared in the Chicago Police Riots of '68. The allegories, analysis and reproductions of classical art get more pointed, grotesque and lavish. Annika's Nazi concentration camp horrors are more explicit and more explicitly connected to Karen's life. The queerness of the story takes center stage, both through Karen's first love and the introduction of a queer nightclub. The characters are more vivid, as is the racial injustice and the corruption of the adult world.

I've been staring at the spine of My Favorite Thing Is Monsters Book One on my bookshelf for seven years. Partly, that's because the book is such a gorgeous thing, truly one of the great publishing packages of the century. But mostly, it's because I couldn't let go of Ferris's story, her characters, and her stupendous art.

After seven years, it would have been hard for Book Two to live up to all that anticipation, but goddammit if Ferris didn't manage to meet and exceed everything I could have hoped for in a conclusion.

There's a lot of people on my Christmas list who'll be getting both volumes of Monsters this year – and that number will only go up if Fantagraphics does some kind of slipcased two-volume set.

In the meantime, we've got more Ferris to look forward to. Last April, she announced that she had sold a prequel to Monsters and a new standalone two-volume noir murder series to Pantheon Books:

Transform Your Home with Premium Exterior House Paint in San Diego

The exterior of your home is more than just the walls that shelter you. It’s a reflection of your personal style, curb appeal, and, importantly, your home’s first line of defense against the elements. In a city like San Diego, where coastal winds, intense sun, and periodic rainfall can wear down surfaces, choosing the right exterior house paint is essential. In this article, we’ll explore why selecting high-quality exterior house paint in San Diego is key for both aesthetic and practical reasons, along with some expert tips to get the best results for your home.

Why Exterior House Paint Matters in San Diego San Diego’s unique climate presents challenges for homeowners when it comes to protecting their home exteriors. The combination of salty sea air, sunny days, and occasional storms can cause fading, peeling, and cracking if your home isn’t properly shielded. That’s why using durable, weather-resistant paint designed for San Diego’s climate is crucial.

A professional paint job not only protects your home from environmental damage but also boosts its value by enhancing curb appeal. Whether you are planning to sell your home or simply want to improve its appearance, a fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference.

Choosing the Best Exterior House Paint for Your San Diego Home When selecting exterior house paint, you need to prioritize both performance and aesthetics. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Climate-Specific Paint Formulas San Diego’s coastal environment demands paint that can withstand UV rays and moisture. Look for paint with UV protection to prevent fading and cracking, as well as water-resistant properties to safeguard against rain and moisture damage.

Durability and Longevity Opt for high-quality paint that offers long-lasting protection. Investing in premium exterior paint ensures that you won’t have to repaint frequently, saving you money in the long run. Paints with high durability also offer better resistance to wear and tear from wind, sand, and other environmental factors common in San Diego.

Eco-Friendly Paint Options If sustainability is important to you, explore eco-friendly paints that are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These paints are not only better for the environment but also healthier for your family, as they reduce indoor air pollution.

Color Selection The colors you choose for your home’s exterior can dramatically impact its appearance. Consider light-reflecting colors for energy efficiency, as they help keep your home cooler by reflecting sunlight. Earth tones, whites, and soft blues are popular choices in San Diego, blending with the natural beauty of the region while complementing a variety of architectural styles.

Benefits of Professional Exterior House Painting in San Diego While some homeowners may consider tackling a paint job themselves, hiring a professional painting service is highly recommended, especially for exterior projects. Here’s why:

Expert Surface Preparation Proper surface preparation is essential for a flawless finish. Professionals have the expertise to clean, repair, and prime surfaces before applying paint, ensuring that the paint adheres correctly and lasts longer.

Quality Finish Experienced painters use top-tier tools and techniques to achieve smooth, even coats of paint. This is particularly important for San Diego homes with stucco, brick, or wood exteriors, which may require specialized approaches for painting.

Time-Saving Painting a house is a time-intensive project, especially if you’re working on a large property. Professionals can complete the job efficiently without sacrificing quality, allowing you to focus on other important tasks.

Warranty and Peace of Mind Many professional painting companies in San Diego offer warranties on their work, ensuring that you’re covered in case of any issues. This added layer of protection gives you peace of mind knowing that your home’s exterior will look great for years to come.

Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Results Once your home has been beautifully painted, following some simple maintenance steps can help ensure your investment lasts. Here are a few tips:

Regularly clean your exterior walls to remove dirt, grime, and pollutants that can degrade the paint over time. Inspect your home annually for any signs of wear and tear, such as peeling or cracking paint, and address these issues promptly. Reapply a protective sealant every few years to extend the life of the paint and shield it from the elements. Trim nearby trees and bushes to prevent them from rubbing against painted surfaces, which can cause premature wear. Final Thoughts Painting the exterior of your home is one of the most impactful ways to enhance its appearance, protect it from the elements, and increase its value. In a city like San Diego, where climate factors can affect your home’s exterior, choosing the right paint and hiring a professional painting service can make all the difference. With the right approach and quality materials, your home can look fresh, beautiful, and well-protected for years to come.

If you're considering an exterior house paint project in San Diego, now is the perfect time to consult with experts who understand the unique needs of homes in this area. With the right guidance, your home can stand out with a fresh, durable, and stunning exterior.
