Michel Fiffe: Bloodstrike: Brutalists (2018)

[rad-lightning-boy]

Here are some of my book recs!!

If there's a movie too then I'll colour the title.

Sad books about teens.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky. Please look up a list of TWs for this if you ever read it.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe - Benjamin Alire Sáenz. Cute book about a young queer relationship.

Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World - Benjamin Alire Sáenz.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post - Emily M. Danforth. Be warned, this one starts off cute and gets very sad.

Simon Vs the Homosapiens Agenda - Becky Albertalli. I read the book before watching the movie. It's a chill read.

Dead Posts Society - Nancy H. Kleinbaum. I haven't actually read the book but I am obsessed with the movie and 100% will be reading this soon.

A Series of Unfortunate Events - Daniel Handler. I read these as a 10/12 year old, I never finished them but I definitely recommend. They're an easy read and I'd love to re read them when I find the time.

The Color Purple - Alice Walker. This book broke me in ways I can't explain. Please look up a TW before reading.

Dear Evan Hansen - Val Emmich. One of my favourite musicals and it's honestly a pretty solid book for what it is. The movie sucks but just ignore that. Look up TWs for this.

Golden Boys - Phil Stamper. Young queer guys go out into the world. Cute.

Fantasy books/ Supernatural Fiction.

Lord of the Rings - J.R.R Tolkien. Haven't finished the books yet because they're so long, but so far it's a fun read. Movies are also amazing.

The Hobbit - J.R.R Tolkien. The movies were okay, the books have a lot of songs. These probably aren't worth reading unless you love LOTR.

Gothic! The Original Dark Tales. - Multiple Authors.

Interview With a Vampire - Anne Rice. I haven't read it but my dad is obsessed with the movie.

Twilight - Stephanie Meyer. Movies are a favourite of mine, the books are definitely something.

Comics/ Graphic Novels.

The Umbrella Academy - Gerard Way. I prefer the show over the comics but as a fan they're still fun to read.

Watchmen - Alan Moore. A social commentary on the government and power. Great read and the movie is amazing.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World - Brian Lee O'Malley. Such a fun graphic novel series and the movie is amazing.

I Am Not Okay With This - Charles Forsman. Cute style but a tragic story.

Social commentaries/ Serious books.

1984 - George Orwell. Good read, it's a little slow at times but overall, it's pretty good.

Animal Farm - George Orwell. It's short, it gets to the point almost immediately. A good read if you're into politics.

Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk. One of my top 10 books and movies of all time. Extremely misunderstood story. The book goes into a lot more detail than the film.

Biographies/ Autobiographies.

Sorry Not Sorry - Naya Rivera. As a Glee fan, I love this book so much. If you like behind the scenes TV show drama, you'll adore this.

Lives of the Artists: Frida Kahlo - Hettie Judah. Friday was an incredible artist and an advocate for many political causes. Great read.

I'm Glad My Mom Died - Jennette McCurdy. This one really got to me.

Art/ Music.

Romanticism in Art - William Vaughan.

The High Renaissance and Mannerism - Linda Murray.

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music - Percy A. Scholes. I haven't read through it all but as a musician its very helpful.

Music in the Life of Albert Schweitzer.

Supernatural History. (I bought these when I was in my BuzzFeed Unsolved era.)

The Book of English Magic - Philip Carr-Gomm & Richard Heygate.

The Witches: Salem 1692: A History - Stacy Schiff.

Conspiracy Theories - James King.

A Natural History of Ghosts - Roger Clarke.

Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science - Jeff Meldrum.

I hope this helps! I've read most of these and I personally think they're great. I tried giving a variety since I don't really know what you're into. Have a nice day :D

Does anyone have any book recommendations, I want to get back into reading but K can't find anything and booktok is full of porn addicts who swear they aren't because it's on paper.

(Please I'm desperate I will take anything)

Me & @charlesforsman & KLAUS JANSON (!!!) jammed on a print that we'll have limited quantities of at our Forbidden Planet NYC signing OCT 2nd -- first come, first serve! Pre-game NYCC 2019 with us. Then drop by Table H-23 that weekend for comics, sketches, and more.

The TV adaptation of Chuck Forsman’s End of the F**king World by Jonathan Entwhistle delighted Netflix viewers and critics alike at the top of 2017 (not to mention that the title and tone probably resonated with lots of people right after 2016). 

So, Entwhistle will get to adapt another one of Forsman’s graphic novels I Am Not Okay With This that seems to be somewhat in the same ballpark: dark coming-of-age comedy, though, this time it’s focused on a girl getting mysterious super powers (possibly reminiscent of UK series The Misfits?). 

So, if you’re really digging Entwhistle and Forsman together, you’ll be happy to know that you’re going to get a second season of End of the F**king World and a whole new show (as Netflix ordered 8 episodes) of I Am Not Okay With This.

Kibbles ‘n’ Bits 6/14/18: Eleanor Davis is serializing “the best comic she has ever made”

§ Nice art: Eleanor Davis is serializing her new graphic novel, Tomorrow, on Gumroad, and you can buy the first chapter for $5

Chapter 1 of 6 of my new graphic novel, “Tomorrow.” I think this is the best comic I have ever made. Your purchase of this digital copy will help me finish the next 5 chapters. The whole comic will eventually be published as a book. Thank you so much for your support.

Saturday 9/16, 1:00 pm ARCHITECTURE OF A PAGE

Architecture of a Page is a panel that’s all about LAYOUTS! Moderator J. A. Micheline chats with four cartoonists–Tillie Walden, Sloane Leong, Iasmin Omar Ata, and Chris Kindred–to discuss their thought processes when it comes to page layouts, how structure can contribute to emotional content, and their major influences/go-to inspirations when constructing a page.

Sunday 9/17, 1:00 pm SPINNING WITH TILLIE WALDEN

Tillie Walden, in her short cartooning career, has created some stunning, critically acclaimed stories. On a Sunbeam, her unconventional science fiction webcomic, was recently nominated for an Eisner for Best Digital Comic. Tillie’s newest project, Spinning from First Second, focuses on her decade spent in competitive figure skating. This emotional graphic memoir, along with her other works and influences, is the topic of conversation for a very special panel moderated by comics historian and SPX head honcho, Warren Bernard.
