The fourth hardcover collection of the Eisner Award-winning comic series as our favorite students dive into their second year… and relationships!
The Holidays are coming and love is in the air at Sheffield University! While back home in Northampton visiting her six sisters and numerous niblings for the holidays, Susan reconnects with McGraw. Too bad he’s still dating Emilia…at least for now! Meanwhile, Daisy and bombastic exchange student Ingrid are also testing the waters of first love. Even insufferable Dean Thompson found virtual romance, while Ed agrees to be match-made by Daisy. As the spring semester wears on, the question looms…will Daisy, Esther, and Susan stay housemates for their third year? Or will love tear the dream-team apart, as certain folks want to give living with their paramours a try? The Giant Days Library Edition Volume 4, 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 eight issues of the Eisner Award-winning and Harvey Award-nominated series along with the 2016 holiday special, all in a deluxe hardcover. Collects Giant Days #25-32.
Book 4 of 7 in the lovely library editions of the amazing Giant Days series, in my Tackleverse readthrough. This was a book that starts complicating the friendship drama and starts making it really interesting, when you can see everyone's points and no one exactly is in the right or wrong.
This book contains: Susan's sisters! Dean's video game girlfriend and almost-marriage. Esther's protest arc. Ingrid's spectacular painting of the trio on their wall! The nightworld-esque art (fantastic) in the garage chinchilla story! Esther vs. Emilia vs. Ken Lord, Daisy setting Ed up on a mediocre date. Escalating interpersonal drama as McGraw is unfaithful to Emilia, Esther befriends Emilia, Ingrid monopolizes Daisy, and just about everyone is hurt! Pool sharks, Emilia's brothers, McGraw's backstory, apartment issues, and moving apart.
And then bonus stories: a "What If?" comic about what if the trio had never met in the first week, and a funny holiday story about Esther getting a turkey, running into Shelley Winters (!!), and some chaos from Des Fishman.
