AVERY KAPLAN: This weekend, I’m going to be studying the Mad Golden Collection of Garbage by “The Usual Gang of Idiots.” You’d suppose a “reissue of a special edition” would select a recycling theme, however hey, what do I find out about comedy? Then so far as prose goes, I’m testing Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo. I don’t know something about this e-book, which is seemingly the primary in a sequence. But the identical pal who gifted me the fascinating Night of the Living Dead soundtrack is studying it, and he or she has good style. Plus: fairly cool cowl, proper?

TAIMUR DAR: As I’ve talked about earlier than, I’m making an attempt to broaden by manga studying. I just lately found a pleasant slice of life sequence entitled My Dress-Up Darling written and illustrated by Shinichi Fukuda so I’ll be having fun with that this weekend. Additionally, the brand new Deadpool & Wolverine trailer has me falling again in love with the character. I considerably fell out of studying Deadpool comics a decade in the past regardless of individuals raving about tales throughout this time. So I determine I’ll begin with the primary from writers Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn.

KRISTINA ELYSE BUTKE: I’m giving The Ice Guy and the Cool Girl by Miyuki Tonogaya a do this weekend. I really purchased the primary quantity at Tsutaya whereas I nonetheless lived in Japan, however didn’t have sufficient of a capability to learn it, so I largely skimmed it. I’m joyful to study it’s accessible in English! It’s as much as three volumes proper now with extra forthcoming, and is an workplace romance concerning the descendant of a snow spirit who falls for a cool, aloof, oblivious woman. It feels like will probably be loads of enjoyable and a bit on the candy aspect, so I sit up for studying it.

REBECCA OLIVER KAPLAN: I actually miss writing for PanelxPanel with Tiffany Babb and (*198*) Otsmane-Elhaou, so I requested Deb Aoki to assist me with a chunk on early BL tradition. It was imagined to be for Valentine’s Day, however sadly, my sources are simply arriving. Unfortunately (but additionally tremendous excitingly), the primary e-book to reach was one I ordered over the vacations, By Your Side: The First 100 Years of Yuri Anime and Manga by Erica Friedman—and it seems that I misremembered what it was about…Yuri as a substitute yaoi. Oops! Still, I’m desirous to study yuri as nicely (and up to now, there have been useful mentions to the rise of fan conventions which might be related to my piece).
