All My Friends Are Dead
8.1 (57 个评分) 作者: Avery Monsen / Jory John Chronicle Books 2010 - 6
If you're a dinosaur, all of your friends are dead. If you're a pirate, all of your friends have scurvy. If you're a tree, all of your friends are end tables. Each page of this laugh-out-loud illustrated humor book showcases the downside of being everything from a clown to a cassette tape to a zombie. Cute and dark all at once, this hilarious children's-book-for-adults teaches valuable lessons about life while exploring each cartoon character's unique grievance and wide-eyed predicament. Have you ever laughed and cried at the same time? Because All My Friends Are Dead is either the saddest funny book of funniest sad book you've ever read. From the sock whose only friends have gone missing to the houseplant whose friends are being slowly killed by irresponsible plant-owners (like you), All My Friends Are Dead presents a delightful primer for laughing at the inevitable.

作者: Paul Pope First Second 2013 - 10
When Battling Boy's father (a warrior god) drops him on a world infested with bloodthirsty monsters, he leaves his son with nothing but a magic credit card, a trunk full of enchanted tee shirts, and instructions not to come home until he's liberated the planet from its plague of monsters.

The first of two hotly anticipated volumes from comics superstar Paul Pope, Battling Boy is already the subject of much excitement in the comics world and in Hollywood.

前面大半部的世界观设定蛮怪力乱神的,感觉不太细致的样子,故事感觉是雷神他娃跟蝙蝠侠的女儿合力打怪,到了最后部分终于有点可看性了,但这么帅的画风还真的有点难以抗拒。

Smile 豆瓣
作者: Raina Telgemeier Graphix 2010 - 2
Raina just wants to be a normal sixth grader. But one night after Girl Scouts she trips and falls, severely injuring her two front teeth, and what follows is a long and frustrating journey with on-again, off-again braces, surgery, embarrassing headgear, and even a retainer with fake teeth attached. And on top of all that, there's still more to deal with: a major earthquake, boy confusion, and friends who turn out to be not so friendly. This coming-of-age true story is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever been in middle school, and especially those who have ever had a bit of their own dental drama.

作者还真是很喜欢以漫画纪念自己的青葱岁月,但跟她其他的作品类似,这部还是情节琐碎流于表面,最后的顿悟来得过于突然而不自然,也许是因为这记录的就是真正的生活吧。

Sisters 豆瓣
作者: Raina Telgemeier Graphix 2014 - 8
Raina Telgemeier’s #1 New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning companion to Smile!
Raina can't wait to be a big sister. But once Amara is born, things aren't quite how she expected them to be. Amara is cute, but she's also a cranky, grouchy baby, and mostly prefers to play by herself. Their relationship doesn't improve much over the years, but when a baby brother enters the picture and later, something doesn't seem right between their parents, they realize they must figure out how to get along. They are sisters, after all.
Raina uses her signature humor and charm in both present-day narrative and perfectly placed flashbacks to tell the story of her relationship with her sister, which unfolds during the course of a road trip from their home in San Francisco to a family reunion in Colorado.
Prosopopus 豆瓣
Prosopopus
作者: 尼古拉‧德魁西(Nicolas De Crecy) 大辣 2007
內容簡介
‧ 死者身上的血跡、殺手滴下的血與精液、以及未熄滅的煙蒂所飄出的煙霧,這幾樣帶著仇恨、殘暴、情慾等情緒的東西結合,會變出什麼樣的怪物?
一隻圓滾滾的大眼、看似無害白色怪獸——Prosopopus,冷不防地出現在殺手的房間,它的性情多變,時而溫馴、可愛地大吃優格;時而兇猛、殘暴地一掌打爛人類的腦袋。
Posopopus就這樣待了下來,趕不跑、殺不死,也躲不了,像夢魘一樣纏繞不去,直到罪行揭露,制裁來臨……
‧沒有任何文字對白,只有圖像提供線索……
沒有對白的漫畫,正是創作者展現個人畫風與分鏡功力的絕佳舞台,也讓讀者與作品的連結更緊密,因為除了圖像,毫無其他線索可循,只能用心去注意每一格畫框的細節、去詮釋故事的邏輯架構,而德魁西的分鏡功力,讓整部作品看起來就像是一部電影。
‧作者德魁西:我想創作一本風格激進的作品,不論是整體氛圍或是人物都奇怪異常……
「一本書如果完全沒有對話等文字輔助,故事會顯得更為奇特不安。如果這本作品附上文字,衝擊力會減低許多。閱讀時,我喜歡保有一點詮釋的空間,我不欣賞什麼都說得一清二楚的作品。所以我在作品裡提供一些線索,讓讀者去探索。」

本作最值得赞赏的是作者的坦诚,越到中后段越明显,不是一个容易驾驭的题材,作者没妄加煽情戏码,只是用自己擅长的方式将自己的心情记录下来,这样反而更能真实体现老人关怀这个话题的现实。祖父那本回忆录也是一个小亮点。

Just So Happens 豆瓣
作者: Fumio Obata Jonathan Cape 2014 - 2
'I still remember arriving in the city for the first time... It wasn't easy... But here, London, is my home.'
Yumiko is a young Japanese woman who has made London her home. She has a job, a boyfriend; Japan seems far away. Then, out of the blue, her brother calls to tell her that her father has died in a mountaineering accident.
Yumiko returns to Tokyo for the funeral and finds herself immersed in the rituals of Japanese life and death - and confronting a decision she hadn't expected to have to make.
Just So Happens is a graphic novel by a young artist and storyteller of rare talent. Fumio Obata's drawing, in particular, is marvellous in its power and delicacy.

Seconds: A Graphic Novel 豆瓣 Goodreads
Seconds
作者: Bryan Lee O'Malley Ballantine Books 2014 - 7
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY USA TODAY AND THE DAILY PLANET
The highly anticipated new standalone full-color graphic novel from Bryan Lee O’Malley, author and artist of the hugely bestselling Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series
Katie’s got it pretty good. She’s a talented young chef, she runs a successful restaurant, and she has big plans to open an even better one. Then, all at once, progress on the new location bogs down, her charming ex-boyfriend pops up, her fling with another chef goes sour, and her best waitress gets badly hurt. And just like that, Katie’s life goes from pretty good to not so much. What she needs is a second chance. Everybody deserves one, after all—but they don’t come easy. Luckily for Katie, a mysterious girl appears in the middle of the night with simple instructions for a do-it-yourself do-over:
1. Write your mistake
2. Ingest one mushroom
3. Go to sleep
4. Wake anew
And just like that, all the bad stuff never happened, and Katie is given another chance to get things right. She’s also got a dresser drawer full of magical mushrooms—and an irresistible urge to make her life not just good, but perfect. Too bad it’s against the rules. But Katie doesn’t care about the rules—and she’s about to discover the unintended consequences of the best intentions.
From the mind and pen behind the acclaimed Scott Pilgrim series comes a madcap new tale of existential angst, everyday obstacles, young love, and ancient spirits that’s sharp-witted and tenderhearted, whimsical and wise.
Praise for Seconds
“The cartoonist, best known for the Scott Pilgrim series, delivers one of the most enjoyable reads I’ve had all year with this magical graphic novel. I dare you to not read it all in one sitting.”—Whitney Matheson, USA Today
“Seconds arrives with high expectations, and it meets them all, delivering the style and humor of [Bryan Lee] O’Malley’s past works with greater emphasis on mood, detail, and complex character relationships.”—The A.V. Club
“Richly imagined and vibrantly drawn, Seconds is a funny, surprising, and enchanting read.”—Publishers Weekly
“In Seconds, Bryan Lee O’Malley plays the angst of youth against the fabric of a larger epic. In doing so, he enriches both. A great ride!”—Guillermo del Toro
“Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Seconds is adorable, haunting, funny, and beautiful. A perfect recipe for a great graphic novel.”—Scott McCloud, author of Understanding Comics

小恐龙阿贡 1 豆瓣
9.4 (7 个评分) 作者: 田中政志 中国致公出版社 2004 - 4
日本漫画史上最了不起的无字动物漫画。这部以生活在哺乳动物世界中的小恐龙为主人公的漫画,以其精湛的钢笔素描功底,吸引了大批读者,称之为无字动物漫画的王者亦受之无愧。
阿贡是食肉恐龙的幼子,有坚韧的腭部、四肢和尾巴,全身充满强劲的肌肉与结实的骨骼。它神出鬼没,有时在森林里,有时在绝岭中,有时又会出现在大草原上,按照自己喜欢的方式进食、游戏、睡觉、生存。
除各话的小标题外完全没有文字出现,甚至连拟音拟态词都没有,所有信息都通过画面来传达。《小恐龙——阿贡》的诞生,再次印证了漫画可以作为一种独立于语言之外的文化存在。

SCENE1 银眼的斩杀者
SCENE2 天空之爪
SCENE3 魔女的记忆
SCENE4 黑函
故事的设定方面倒是和吸血鬼猎人D有些类似,大陆上怪物横行危害人类,而为了对抗它们某神秘组织制造出了一些半人半妖的妖怪猎人,并称之为“大剑”。大剑由于本身就是混血,所以即是妖怪的死对头但同时也不为人类所信任。而她们的宿命也很讽刺,随着不断的战斗她们的身体也会逐渐向妖怪转变,到最后只有两条路可走,要么,在变成妖怪之前让同伴杀死自己。要么,就让自己的妖力完全觉醒,成为最强大的怪物“觉醒者”而与昔日的同伴为敌……

一口气看下来,觉得作者在剧情的走向的控制上还欠缺了功力,到后面主角也不像主角了,虽然故事早早的偏离传统RPG打怪升级的套路很让人赞赏。另外作者画来画去的三四个女子和两三个男子面孔套在这几百号人物上很容易让人脸盲症发作。
