Sometimes, you know a moment will be the last time…
… Whether it’s saying goodbye, ending a chapter in your life, or moving on to the next thing. Other times, you don’t realize it was the last time until it’s too late. Maybe these moments are filled with sadness, or maybe the nervousness of a new beginning…

I devoured this wonderful comic anthology in an evening. Treatments of the theme run the gamut from dark to heartbreaking to funny to breathtakingly lovely. Many became instant favorites of mine and I look forward to watching the careers of these young artists. Recommended.
A really great anthology of student (and recent alum) work. PNCA is lucky to have Jonathan Hill spearheading such incredible comics projects at their school
