New comics for Wednesday July 19th 2006

Hey Kids!

Next weeks list is HUGE!

But this week (07/12/06) I read "MAYBE LATER" from Drawn and Quarterly.
I'm a sucker for a well crafted journal comic. And while I've not had much exposure to either of the creators' works (namely the wildly popular "Mr. Jean" series from french publisher Les humanoïdes, also freshly translated from D&Q (also released this week in "GET A LIFE")) this book has been on my must read list. This is mostly due to the D&Q Free Comic Book Day 2006 release featuring excerpts from both of the above mentioned book.
"MAYBE LATER" is unique in the framework of journal comics, since both creators (Dupuy & Berberian) give us personal tales of their trials and tribulations during the creation of their latest volume of "Mr. Jean". The occasional tale of mid-life crisis and other personal demons pops up to keep the drama flowing. Above all, it's a crafty series of snapshots from a pair of seasoned creators that are so well teamed that both styles are nearly interchangable. At times, if it weren't for the first person narrative, either creator could've sat in to tell these all to personal tales.
Read a pdf preview for yourself here. Or stop in the store for your D&Q FCBD edition.

Check out these events that are going on this weekend:
