Giant Days Library Edition Vol. 3
The third hardcover collection of the Eisner Award-winning comic series following your favorite Uni students summer shenanigans!
School’s out for summer at Sheffield University! First years no more (well, very nearly!) Esther, Daisy, and Susan have plans to party it up at a music festival before moving in together into their very own home to begin second year. With Susan and McGraw very much on the “won’t they” side of their own relationship equation, the girls find themselves embracing spinsterhood and young adulthood, along with all that it IKEA furniture, part-time jobs, dinner parties, and even a feud with their cranky nextdoor neighbor, who’s quite put out to be living next to “youths.” Meanwhile, Ed and McGraw are stuck sharing a house with human nightmare Dean Thompson, and will be lucky to make it to Christmas break with their marbles intact. The Giant Days Library Edition Volume 3, written by John Allison (Wicked Things, Steeple) and illustrated by Max Sarin (Harley The Animated The Eat Bang Kill Tour) and Liz Fleming (Steven Universe) collects the next set of eight issues of the Eisner Award-winning and Harvey Award-nominated series, as well as an issue of the original webcomic in a deluxe hardcover. Collects Giant Days #17-24.

I'm saving the overall review for the final volume, as there's nothing really there to distinguish each volume from each other.

Book #3 of 7 in the Library Edition series of Giant Days. As I'm reading through all of the Tackleverse, these are a special joy.
Stories include: McGraw's new girl Emilia, Daisy's archaeology dig, Esther and Ed accidentally help Dean Thomas make a cheating algorithm, the music fest, Ikea furniture, the home robbery, summer, INGRID again, the dinner party, the comic book shop, Susan's dad Big Geoff, the death of the neighbor, and some bonus John Allison goth/hipster stories at the end.
A lot less focused on school this time, and more focused on life and growing out after the first year is over. A really good continuation of the series!
