A really fun thing about failing to write reviews in a timely manner means that I get to go back and re-experience the joys of comics in order to accurately recount my thoughts! Hooray! It’s harder when I procrastinate with novels, but digging back through volumes of comics is far from the worst way to kickstart a writing project! Unluckily? Luckily? I have nearly a dozen Giant Days to catch up on, so I can relive their adventures while I hunch over my keyboard on this […]

I started this review back in March (EEP!) and it has been my albatross now for nearly two months. Double EEP! I adored the web comics, and when I was feeling down around the Covid-aversary I dug into some good- old- fashioned- comfort- comics. What began as a pick-me-up purchase of the first volume became a “tune it all out” obsession once I realized that more volumes were available on both Scribd and Hoopla. My diversion turned into a marathon reading of volumes 1-12 with […]

Please sir, I want some more

Giant Days, vol 1 by John Allison, Lissa Treiman and Whitney Cogar

November 17, 2017 by Malin 2 Comments

From the back blurb: Susan, Esther and Daisy started at university three weeks ago and became fast friends. Now, away from home for the first time, all three want to reinvent themselves. But in the face of hand-wringing boys, “personal experimentation”, influenza, mystery-mold, nu-chauvinism, and the willful, unwanted intrusion of “academia”, they may be lucky just to make it to spring alive. Going off to university is always a time of change and growth, but for Esther, Susan, and Daisy, things are about to get […]

Giant Days, Vol. 5 by John Allison

September 18, 2017 by narfna Leave a Comment

Okay, first, I love this series. I love the characters. I love the university setting. I love how weird it is. But as a whole, this wasn’t a super great trade paperback. It covers several events that don’t really form a cohesive story arc, even if the individual components were highly amusing. This volume is basically split into three: the end of their first year at university, an incident over their summer break where the girls attend a music festival, and the beginning of their […]

Love these girls. Love this series.

Giant Days, Vol. 4 (Giant Days, #4) by John Allison

“Do you need to go somewhere and repeatedly fail the Bechdel test?” “Yes I do.” After a little bit of a weird slump with Vol. 3, I am back in love with this series. Susan is fresh off her break-up with McGraw (she sees moustaches everywhere!), and tries to fill the hole with various activities and other men, and nothing is working. Esther has vowed not to come back to school after the Easter holidays after messing everything up all year and in general being […]

These girls are all my squishy muffins.

Giant Days, Vol. 2 by John Allison

July 6, 2016 by narfna Leave a Comment

I didn’t quite love this second volume of Giant Days as much as I did the first one, but this is still an unbelievably fun series and I can’t wait for Vol. 3. Vol. 2 covers issues #5-9 of the series, from a winter ball through exams, dating crises, and what happens when you watch too many episodes of Friday Night Lights in a row. Crotchety Susan is for once the only one having reliable sexytimes, while Daisy is going through a questioning phase, and […]
