“Barking by @lucysullivan.bsky.social. The way Lucy depicts the themes of grief and mental health crisis is visually unlike anything I’ve seen before in comics— haunting and unforgettable.” - @eoosterhous.bsky.social

“Breakwater by @katrionachapman.bsky.social. There's a real sense of quietness and space… her characters inhabit a place that's familiar, but somehow more peaceful & less populated than the world I live in.” - @avpotts.bsky.social

"Internet Crusader by George Wylesol is right up my alley. The way it divulges the story in screenshots, almost epistolary, is so fun to explore. It feels like old-web archeology." - @toumeya.bsky.social, The Corus Wave

"Adrift on a Painted Sea by @tim-bird.bsky.social. Such a cool concept and the painting/drawing feels so natural when it overlaps. You can see subtle connections and influences between Sue's and Tim's work." - George Wylesol (2120)

“One of my favourites is What We Don't Talk About by @zolwia.bsky.social: I think its nuanced depiction of racism and microaggressions - specifically in a British context, is so so important.” - drolliehicks.bsky.social

Make sure you save both these maps so you can find them all on the 15th/16th!
