Archives - Graphic Novel Reporter Newsletter

In our last update, we presented our fully loaded (maybe I’ve been watching too many car commercials…) Great Graphic Novels of Fall 2011 list. This update, we’ve updated the Core List, our list of titles that we feel should form the basis for a complete comics collection. If reading those two sentences conjures up visions of my head spinning with visions of books in my head…well, it is. If I manage to sound even somewhere coherent in this newsletter, I’ll be happy.

Somewhere amid all the “Is it REALLY Labor Day already” freaking out that went on in my mind last weekend (there’s a good chance the speed with which 2011 is passing has sparked a mini-midlife crisis), I started to appreciate the oncoming fall. I’ve never been one for heat; I’m pretty much overheated on even the chilliest of days…so I should be glad to see the turn of seasons. This is the break I --- and my air conditioner --- have been waiting for.
