“Promethea” 20th Anniversary Edition, Book 1 by Alan Moore and J.H. Williams III.
I’ve read a bunch of Alan Moore comics, but his late 90s work, outside of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, is a big gap of mine. Promethea is incredible to come back to. I will have to jump right into book two.

“The Beatrix Gates” by Rachel Pollack.
I was familiar with Pollack’s tarot work and was aware that she also wrote comics. But this is the first fiction collection of hers I have read and I am going to find her “Doom Patrol” next.
Also, this series of books by PM Press are all fantastic.

A fantasy novella is actually the last book I will finish in 2025. This was a fun read and I’ll be looking for more of Seolyeon’s work in translation when it comes out.

“Search and Destroy” volumes 1-3 by Atsushi Kaneko is a gorgeous, violent manga story. A reinterpretation of a classic work by Osamu Tezuka. A story of rage and revenge in a dystopian Japan.

I’m a fan of Macfarlane’s and “Is a River Alive?” is another excellent addition to his writings on place and nature.
This is my first Georgia Summers book, but I loved “The Bookshop Below”. I didn’t expect this to also heavily feature a river.

As always, incredible work by Sacco. Prints the short, serialized cartoon pieces of his that were first published online by The Comics Journal during the last few months of the Biden administration.

“Chris Claremont” by J Andrew Deman. I can’t fully express how excited I am for this series of short books about comics creators. And I’m so glad Deman handled this Claremont book, further expanding Deman’s Claremont scholarship and giving him the chance to talk about Claremont comics beyond X.

“American War” by Omar El Akkad.
After reading “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This” , I really wanted to read more by the author. This novel is a powerful description of America in a near-future civil war with a timely stinger about narratives and the necessity of truth.

Avengers Academy is the best marvel comic out now. Everyone with marvel unlimited go read it ASAP!
With Avengers Academy ending this week, I recommend everyone binge the whole thing so they either commission more on MU or promote it to being a hard-copy series. It's arguably Marvel's best series - extremely smart, extremely dramatic, extremely queer and quietly extremely Canadian
