Asterios Polyp 豆瓣 Goodreads
Asterios Polyp
9.1 (15 个评分) 作者: David Mazzucchelli Pantheon 2009 - 7
The triumphant return of one of comics’ greatest talents, with an engrossing story of one man’s search for love, meaning, sanity, and perfect architectural proportions. An epic story long awaited, and well worth the wait.
Meet Asterios Polyp: middle-aged, meagerly successful architect and teacher, aesthete and womanizer, whose life is wholly upended when his New York City apartment goes up in flames. In a tenacious daze, he leaves the city and relocates to a small town in the American heartland. But what is this “escape” really about?
As the story unfolds, moving between the present and the past, we begin to understand this confounding yet fascinating character, and how he’s gotten to where he is. And isn’t. And we meet Hana: a sweet, smart, first-generation Japanese American artist with whom he had made a blissful life. But now she’s gone. Did Asterios do something to drive her away? What has happened to her? Is she even alive? All the questions will be answered, eventually.
In the meantime, we are enthralled by Mazzucchelli’s extraordinarily imagined world of brilliantly conceived eccentrics, sharply observed social mores, and deftly depicted asides on everything from design theory to the nature of human perception.
Asterios Polyp is David Mazzucchelli’s masterpiece: a great American graphic novel.

这部作品有点把我惊(艳)到了,这跟我熟悉的画超级英雄漫画的那位完全不像一个风格(他在超英那边也很厉害就是了),这部的漫画语言用到了极致,分镜、节奏、用色乃至字体都跟叙事结合得天衣无缝,实乃是上乘的图像小说作品。里面还有对建筑学艺术还有哲学的解读(谢谢《苏菲的世界》帮我科普哲学),但没有给满分的原因还是在故事本身上,主角这个心理转变过程不是很让人信服,有些角色设计出来服务完情节过渡就没了影,譬如那位抠搜的编舞家,女主的叙述也缺乏女性角度,如果篇幅再长一点这个故事可能能讲得更好,但最后一幕确实挺动人的。

Bubble 豆瓣
作者: Jordan Morris, Sarah Morgan, Tony Cliff, Natalie Riess First Second 2021 - 7
Based on the smash-hit audio serial, Bubble is a hilarious high-energy graphic novel with a satirical take on the “gig economy.”
Built and maintained by corporate benevolence, the city of Fairhaven is a literal bubble of safety and order (and amazing coffee) in the midst of the Brush, a harsh alien wilderness ruled by monstrous Imps and rogue bands of humans. Humans like Morgan, who’s Brush-born and Bubble-raised and fully capable of fending off an Imp attack during her morning jog. She’s got a great routine going―she has a chill day job, she recreationally kills the occasional Imp, then she takes that Imp home for her roommate and BFF, Annie, to transform into drugs as a side hustle. But cracks appear in her tidy life when one of those Imps nearly murders a delivery guy in her apartment, accidentally transforming him into a Brush-powered mutant in the process. And when Morgan’s company launches Huntr, a gig economy app for Imp extermination, she finds herself press-ganged into kicking her stabby side job up to the next level as she battles a parade of monsters and monstrously Brush-turned citizens, from a living hipster beard to a book club hive mind.
Review
"The critique of the gig economy is just discernible beneath the smashmouth confrontations, and the relationship comedy (tangled on-again, off-again connections and flirtations throughout) is surprisingly earnest. It’s a recklessly fun, hoot and holler of a ride." ―Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Wild, adventurous, quick-witted, and current!" ― Ryan North, How to Invent Everything
“Bubble is timely satire, but NOT what ‘timely satire’ usually means (BORING). Instead, it’s ridiculous, warm, absurdly funny, genuinely human, and, what is most important to me: ANTI-MONSTER. I would like to be trapped in a bubble with these people―the ones who made it, and the characters they created. BUT NO MONSTERS PLEASE. Seriously. I’ve had enough of those guys!“ ―John Hodgeman, Medallion Status
“A timely skewering of the Millennial mindset? Check. Beasts that could disembowel you with the flick of a wrist? Check. An appearance by the bassist of our favorite band from high school? Check. Bubble meets all our criteria for a work of fiction. We’re in.” ―Rhett and Link, Good Mythical Morning, The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek
"Bubble is an allegorical tale of the horrors facing American millennials that just also happens to be a perfectly exhilarating, monster-hunting action adventure. Wait, don't buy it yet, because you should be warned it's also beautifully humane and hilarious. OK, now you can buy it."―Justin McElroy, The Adventure Zone

作者: BonHyung Jeong JY 2021 - 6
My name is Grace, not "Kyle's little sister!"
Having a good-looking, friendly, outgoing older brother sucks—especially when you're the total opposite, someone who likes staying home and playing video games. Your parents like him better (even if they deny it!), and everyone calls you "Kyle's little sister" while looking disappointed that you're not more like him. I was really hoping I'd get to go to a different middle school, but no such luck. At least I have my friends...until he finds a way to ruin that, too...! Argh! What do I have to do to get out of his shadow?!

The Body Factory 豆瓣
作者: Heloise Chochois Graphic Mundi - PSU Press 2021 - 7
A young man has a horrible motorcycle accident. He wakes up in the hospital to discover that one of his arms has been amputated. Then a portrait on the wall of his hospital room begins to speak to him. The subject of the painting introduces himself as Ambroise Paré, the French barber-surgeon who revolutionized the art of amputation. From this wonderfully absurd premise, the two begin an imaginary conversation that takes them through a sweeping history of surgical amputation, from the Stone Age to the Space Age. Unencumbered by pathos or didacticism, this graphic novel explores the world of amputation, revealing fascinating details about famous amputees throughout history, the invention of the tourniquet, phantom limb syndrome, types of prostheses, and transhumanist technologies.
Playfully illustrated and seriously funny, The Body Factory is sure to delight anyone interested in the history and future of medicine and how we repair and even enhance the body.

For fans of Svetlana Chmakova's Awkward and Raina Telgemeier's Smile comes an inventive new story from Cardboard Kingdom creator Chad Sell about a group of young artists who must work together when one of their own creations becomes a monster.
Drew is just a regular artist. But there's nothing ordinary about her art. Her doodles are mischievous . . . and rarely do they stay in Doodleville, the world she's created in her sketchbook. Instead, Drew's doodles prefer to explore the world outside. But after an inspiring class trip to the Art Institute of Chicago--where the doodles cause a bit too much trouble--Drew decides it's time to take her artistic talents to the next level.
Enter the Leviathan--Levi, for short. He's bigger and better than anything Drew has ever created before. He's a monster, but a friendly one. That is, until Levi begins to wreak havoc on Drew's other doodles--and on the heroes her classmates have dreamt up.
Levi won't be easily tamed, and it seems there is a link between the monster's bad behavior and Drew's feelings. With the help of her loyal art club friends, will she be able to save Doodleville--and Levi--before it's too late?
