The second hardcover collection of the Eisner Award-winning comic series as your favorite characters move into the second half of their freshmen year!
Spring is in the air at Sheffield University. The flowers are blooming, the birds are singing, and close friends Susan, Esther, and Daisy are all surviving their first year of university by the skin of their teeth. By the year’s second half, Susan and McGraw’s fledgling relationship is already on the rocks, and Esther is not dealing well with the pressure of academia, while Daisy is just trying to keep everyone and everything from falling apart. Combined with house-hunting for second year, indie film festivals, and online dating, can the girls make it to the end of summer term? The Giant Days Library Edition Volume 2, written by John Allison (Wicked Things, Steeple) and illustrated by Max Sarin (Harley The Animated The Eat Bang Kill Tour) and Liz Fleming (Steven Universe) collects eight more issues of the Eisner Award-winning and Harvey Award-nominated series, as well as an issue of the original webcomic in a deluxe hardcover. Collects Giant Days #9-16.
Volume #2 of 7 in the Library Editions of Giant Days, which are beautiful collections.
Stories include Ed's journalism stint and takedown, Big Lindsay's visit (a character from SGR, making a very mature reappearance) and connection with Ed, Susan's Manchurian Candidate conspiracy arc, one of my very favorite arcs ever: NIGHT WORLD SYNDROME, camping, home time with Esther nearly dropping out, Paul Milford, a mention of the continuation of Carrot's story from SGR of all things, Sarah and Eustace... apartment hunting, Dean Thompson's intro, the filmmaking competition, Susan dating, the introduction of Ingrid, McGraw's new girl, and a couple John Allison bonuses in the back.
Things are getting more complicated at Sheffield U, and our heroes are navigating it as best as they can, though that's not always good enough. A ton of great situations, jokes, drama, and action. Great continuation.
