Emily Carroll is one of my absolute favorite modern cartoonists and anytime she creates new work it's cause for celebration. This incredible graphic novel tells the story of a timid middle aged woman who just married the most awful nineties husband imaginable. They live in a lake house, there are ghosts everywhere and obviously he is keeping all sorts of secrets. Any reader who picks up and opens this book will instantly have their breath taken away by Carroll's unmatched horror cartooning skills and her stunning use of black, white and blood red. Creepy, mysterious, baffling and beautiful. ~ Reviewed by Reilly Hadden

As someone who loves the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, both the show and comics, I really enjoyed this addition to the world and the insight we get on Azula's mind after the war has ended. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves ATLA and wants to continue following the story of Aang and his friends/enemies. ~ Reviewed by Arielle Baldwin

This beautiful graphic memoir is on its surface a simple and oft-repeated narrative - a young couple leaves their home in San Francisco with dreams of establishing a homestead in rural Idaho, dreaming of building a community, starting a family, and living off the land while creating art. Under the surface that simple story becomes a gorgeous meditation on identity and politics in modern America, fitting in, and finding home. ~ Reviewed by Rachel Person

The title tells you everything you need to know (but his mother's lies are less malice and more "age appropriate" explanations, having a tease (at her son's expense) and/or herself uncomfortable explaining the situation). These lies range from the downright silly (why are all of her photographs in black an white? Because there was no color back then, so isn’t Kenny lucky to live in such a colorful world) to the typical mom (no there is no shrimp in this dish…. (taste) Lie detected…why the lie? She thought shrimp was good for him. I won’t say why he didn’t like shrimp). Each chapter is just the one lie explored with humor, love and in the end, a little poke at mom too. Clever illustrations in the traditional manga style. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette
