#Gaza in My Phone by @mazenkerbaj is "an impassioned howl to a world refusing to see the truth". Out this week from @orbooks

@DanRhodes101 @DuffyEricka You recommended this earlier this year, and you're right. It's really funny, if totally filthy, and I don't understand the vitriol it generated on release. Thanks for spreading the word.

The Books of Clash Vol.4? Les McClaine is back on the art and @geneluenyang's spotlight falls on Yolanda the Valkyrie this time. "another great all-ages adventure". @01FirstSecond

@mrmarkmillar You bastard Mark. I lost a tenner betting on McShane mentioning Will Eisner in the first three minutes. You could have coaxed it out of him earlier! Frank

We like all three volumes so far of Jo Rioux's engaging all-ages fantasy quest Cat's Cradle. Start at the beginning with The Golden Twine. @01FirstSecond

Anyone worthy could be bestowed with super powers? How would that go down with the rich and entitled? Art from Travis Charest, Frank Quitely and Matteo Scalera among others and plot from the mighty @mrmarkmillar.

Film maker @chris__shepherd funnels his 1980s youth into Anfield Road, about growing up in Liverpool. "Charm abounds, honesty prevails and the truth is in here". @ComicsTitan

Veteran children's author Don Brown tells the horrific stories of Syrian refugees in The Unwanted. It shows how their lives have been destroyed at home, and what they face when leaving to save those lives.

Which of the horror Westerns reviewed today do we like the most? That would be Canary by Scott Synder and Dan Panosian. "It’s dark, it’s satisfying, it’s memorable, it’s apocalyptic and it’s time well spent." @Ssnyder1835 @urbanbarbarian @ImageComics

The first series of @FordKiernan1 & Greg Hemphill's Still Game has been adapted for comics, with @DMcGachey and four artists bringing new ideas to the beloved Craiglang cast. It's great. Two pints, prick! @StillGameReacts

@ViewtifulJC That was the only previous one.

Considering a product worth zero stars is so rare it's only ever happened once before on the Slings and Arrows site. However, it happens again today.

We really like Ironheart as defined by Eve L. Ewing and Luchiano Vecchio in Those With Courage and Ten Rings. A lot of fun well drawn with a likeable leading character.

We love @PeterBagge1's biography of Zora Neale Hurston. "His subjects... shine brighter through his attention". @DandQ

A graphic novel biography of Audrey Hepburn is overdue, but @BottonMichele & @DoryGiacchetto put that right in sparking style. "It covers most career touchstones and brings out the thoughtful and compassionate person Hepburn was".

Ginette Kolinka’s story is remarkable firstly for her childhood experiences in a WWII concentration camp, and for what she did afterward. Writers @JDMorvan & @victormatet combine with artists Cesc and Efa for horror and redemption.@SelfMadeHero

@AcmeDarryl I was gobsmacked to learn last night that he wrote the soundtrack to The Italian Job.

[Slings & Arrows @SandAGNGuide]

@earinc Good point, well made.

The title takes up most of the tweet, but The Nancy Show: Celebrating the Art of Nancy Bushmiller is a total bargain for anyone who loves the Nancy strip.
