We love comics, and these are the comics we love.
For the Love of Comics celebrates the breadth and depth of the comics medium by looking at our favourites.
There's so much elongated-rectangular-panels goodness in this one issue that even with a 30-min deep dive I couldn't talk in detail about everything. Here are some more of my favorite compositions, from latest episode of Single Issues I Love: https://t.co/g8rWCS23xD

Certain childhood favourites hold up to adult scrutiny, & I think there's a very simple reason for that.
My new episode is my rambling analysis of a standalone story that became a formative reading experience, & changed forever what I expected from comics

Bone by @jeffsmithsbone is not only one of my favourite comics of all time, it is also the comic I have sampled in number of different editions. Here I look at two uncommon editions: a 3-in-1 colour hardcover omnibus set and a slipcased set of paperbacks.

Not despite but precisely because of its loose wandering amongst over a dozen characters, Kent State by @DerfBackderf , is an almost unbearably tense book.
Here's my attempt to highlight what I think is an important, and painfully relevant work.

A Bride's Story by Kaoru Mori - simply one of the most beautifully illustrated comics I have ever read. The story itself is superbly told, interweaving tales of diverse people and cultures, but the highlight is always the sublime artwork that elevates the book to greatness.
@DerfBackderf I’m not sure if you’re aware of this video, so I wanted to share it with you. It’s from @FTLOComics YouTube channel and it’s a thoughtful and respectful spotlight on your KENT STATE. It’s 2 minutes long and worth sharing. https://t.co/1zz05u0f5L
Three recent reads, featuring:
a new edition of a sci fi classic,
an impressionistic biography of a revolutionary, and
an unsettling journey in twenty-five 'silent' pages.
New video up!

A return to an old favourite, in which i present one of over 87 billion possible reading orders for a non linear masterpiece. There are a couple more reading orders out there for this one book, something wholly unique in the world of comics. #ChrisWare

From: Poison Flowers and Pandemonium by Richard Sala; Farewell Brindavoine by Jaques Tardi; Goodnight, Hem by Jason; and Child Star by Brian "Box" Brown, featured in our latest video here: https://t.co/Fz8XmsdYag!
Finally! After a series of (completely avoidable) delays, new video up, a look at four standalone reads from last year by four favourite writer-artists, each of whom have been the subject of a spotlight video on the channel before!

Herge's seminal Tintin adventure The Blue Lotus was originally serialized, then collected, in 1935-1936, and then redrawn and coloured in 1945.
I look at how this classic first looked, and chat a little about a handful of things that I thought were fun!

Join me for a few highlights on what changed and what stayed the same between the original black and white and the coloured/ redrawn version of Herge's classic Tintin adventure The Blue Lotus

By Manuele Fior, I have only read '5,000 Km Per Second', many years ago, and loved it.
These 2 arrived today, and there are at least 2 other books translated into English out there to pursue later, always a great feeling.
#MouseGuard: The Owlhen Caregiver - in this anthology of 3 stories, @mouseguard , as always, mesmerizes, enchants and teaches. A beautiful book, superbly illustrated, extoling the virtues of service, of kindness, and of the bravery in trying to truly understand others.

Lydie by @jordilafebre and Zidrou. Despite appearances, this is a happy book. Will it make you cry? Yes. But it will also tug at your heartstrings with a tale of warmth & kindness & joy. A charming yet bittersweet look at love & loss & little lies we tell ourselves
