The holiday season is almost here (already??), so I thought I would recommend some comic books and graphic novels I've enjoyed over the past year or so. Here it goes!

(Reach out to your local comic book store, if you can, or try places like @indiebound or @bookshop_org_UK to support smaller businesses in these weird times. However, I live in a country where there isn't even a comic book store in my city, so I understand if this isn't possible)
