Boys Weekend
From the award-winning cartoonist and editor at The Nib, a hilarious trans-"final girl" horror graphic novel about a bachelor party gone very, very wrong.
Newly-out trans artist’s assistant Sammie is invited to an old friend’s bachelor weekend in El Campo, a hedonistic wonderland of a city floating in the Atlantic Ocean's international waters—think Las Vegas with even fewer rules. Though they have not identified as a man for over a year, Sammie’s college buddies haven't quite gotten the message—as evidenced by their formerly closest friend Adam asking them to be his “best man.”
Arriving at the swanky hotel, Sammie immediately questions their decision to come. Bad enough that they have to suffer through a torrent of passive-aggressive comments from the groom's pals—all met with zero pushback from supposed "nice guy" Adam. But also, they seem to be the only one who's noticed the mysterious cult that's also staying at the hotel, and is ritually dismembering guests and demanding fealty to their bloodthirsty god.
Part satire, part horror, Boys Weekend explores what it’s like to exist as a transfemme person in a man’s world, the difficulty of maintaining friendships through transition, and the more cult-like effects of masculinity, “hustle” culture, and capitalism—all through the vibrant lens of a surreal, scary, and immensely imaginative romp.

I devoured this book. It captures the pain when you are no longer the person that people from you past, who you loved, knew you as. But that the "new you" is your most authentic self, and you have a whole community of people who love THAT person. My heart ached for Sammie who held out hope that one of their best friends from college would step up to the plate to defend Sammie. We experience the dilemma: walk away and admit "defeat", walk away and don't look back, stay to change hearts and minds, stay because you want a person you love to see and celebrate the real you.
Of course, all this happens in a flaming cocktail beverage of biting satire skewing consumerism, the immorality of wealth, tech bros, sea serpents, with a Westworld twist. There is a moment at the end of the story with a clone that brought tears to my eyes. The best humor is always infused with a full range of human experience. I loved this.

I absolutely loved this book. It weaves together the anxieties of transition, the joys of community, and the ways masculinity and capitalism rely on each other to thrive. It does such a good job of showing how the "anything goes" mentality of the Vegas-style playground for the rich doesn't apply if you're not straight and cis. But more than commentary about capitalism, this is a really heartfelt narrative about how Sammie reckons with their past while looking toward the future. I loved how it showed Sammie has built a beautiful life for themself, and is just there hoping their other friends will join them in it. The visuals are stunning and dynamic, the denoument made me cry. It's the funniest monster movie you'll ever read.

Sammie is a recently out nonbinary transfemm but their college friend group has not picked up on that fact yet. When Sammie is invited to be the "best man" at their friend Adam's wedding and attend a bachelor weekend at a high-tech, no-laws resort built on top of the Pacific Garbage Patch they decide to go in stealth mode. The resort is a pyramid scheme mutated with a strip club, business conference, all you can drink brunch bar, pro-gamer, most-dangerous-game corporate nightmare. Also, the waters around it are infested with terrifying flesh-eating monsters and someone is trying to raise an eldritch god. It takes every bit of queer resistance Sammie possesses to survive this bleak, hilarious, and surprisingly moving tale. In both their fiction and nonfiction comics, Lubchansky continues to hold up the black mirror to our own dystopian times.

finished this the same day I bought it 🫡
really really good. the story builds an excellent parallel between 1) Sammie’s old friends ignoring their transition and 2) Sammie being the only person who acknowledges the cult violence taking place right under everyone’s noses.
Sammie struggles throughout the story with the idea of reconciling their old life with their new one, and the novel makes it clear that, even if Sammie goes for it, this reconciliation would be *very* difficult to achieve. but Lubchansky also highlights that there were things worth keeping in that old life, things that were worthy of love; in a better world, those things could have easily bridged across the gap of Sammie’s transition, but we don’t live in that world yet.
“you showed me. what I could have been. if things. were. different.
I could be. beautiful. too.”

The book starts by examining some interesting quandaries about how much transphobia one should endure from the people who knew you when, but then devolves into a ridiculous supernatural conspiracy and bloodbath that offers a very unsubtle solution. I just couldn't find any enthusiasm at all in myself for the fantasy/sci-fi elements.

It’s difficult reading Sammie experience the unrelenting transmisogyny that they do, but there’s also a defiant, hopeful element to this story. It explores the complicated question of which relationships are worth holding onto after coming out—what about the friends and family who don’t get it but aren’t actively hateful? When is it time to walk away, and when is it worth reaching out and trying to repair the relationship?
Despite the horror, the micro- and macroaggressions, and the constant misgendering, this wasn’t bleak. Sammie reaches out to their wife and other queer friends throughout the story, asking for their advice and support over the phone, so even when they are surrounded by assholes, they don’t feel alone. Sammie is secure in their identity and self-worth and has support from coworkers, friends, and in their marriage.
While having lots of over-the-top elements—El Campo is something else—I actually teared up a bit at the end. The setting and plot might be cartoony, but the emotion is grounded. I recommend this both to horror fans and to those less familiar with the genre: as long as you’re okay with a few pages of gore, this is well worth the read.

There are two wolves inside every person, I hear. I think one is like a wolf that eats garbage and has no pride, and the other was brought inside a suburban home by a well-meaning dope who thought the wolf was a dog.
Boys Weekend has like 5 wolves in it:
1. A spin on an 80’s boner comedy where one of “the boys” is trans and the transphobic jokes ain’t so funny.
2. A lovecraftian horror.
3. A most dangerous game where a trans person hunts their genetic clone, which is a twisted mirror that they try and shoot.
4. A story of friendships that have withered being refreshed and renewed as people grow and change and become new people.
5. A story of friendships that have drifted.
The problem for me isn’t these wolves, it’s that we don’t spend any time with any of them, really, and instead we spend most of the time with the boys acting as straw men…straw boys, saying super insensitive things about trans people and the main character, who is a trans person. So what we get is a lot of scenes of party boys doing party boy stuff and our MC pouting (justifiably), and it’s like the reader is at a party where those are the two options: Do you want to hang out with tech bros who are probably going to try and sell you something that’s a really stupid word followed by “-coin,” or do you try and hang out with the one person at the party who is way too cool for everything going on at the party?
The correct answer is that you want to stay home and read comics, but TWIST, you read Boys Weekend and were presented with these very options!
It just felt to me like we were on one of those bus tours of Chicago, the double decker, and we go past this museum and that aquarium, this interesting story and that interesting story, but we never really go inside any of them. We just see that they’re options and move on.
Maybe the thing I didn't like is that this is one of those 90/10 books: 90% of what happens occurs in the last 10% of the pages.
This has worked for me exactly one time: The movie Waxwork. Kinda boring, but the last 10 minutes is bonkers in the best possible way and does probably justify giving the movie a watch. But once you've seen it, honestly, you can watch the last 10 minutes and see 90% of the movie. Any mathematicians want to write this paper with me? Pete's Unified Theory of Waxwork?

More satire and less horror than I expected, this was painfully real in its portrayal of immature tech bro masculinity and so-called allies who can't be bothered to get something as simple as someone's pronouns right. It had me cringing. I loved Sammie as a character and the art style was fun!

Fantastic graphic novel! It's clever, surprisingly twisty, funny, and tackles important subject matter. Boys Weekend follows a trans woman invited to a bachelor party weekend with her college best friend and his groomsmen, navigating being around them after having come out as trans, at a party destination in a speculative capitalist hellscape. Things go...poorly and she faces a lot of casual transphobia and idiocy, along with monstrousness of the sci-fi variety. Really enjoyed this! I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher, all opinions are my own.

A fun, fast-paced graphic novel that made for a quick and entertaining read. Newly out as trans, Sammie is invited on a bachelor party trip, where they’re repeatedly misgendered and forced to participate in all sorts of performatively macho activities. But there’s also something distinctly weird about the location, a manmade island where the ‘fun’ includes the chance to hunt your own clone, and an organisation called the Gray Hand are recruiting people into a shady cult-like ‘network’. Boys Weekend is a lot of things – emotional drama, holiday-gone-wrong comedy, Lovecraftian horror – but I thought it all worked, in terms of the story at least. The weak point for me was actually the art. The backdrops seem unfinished, with good ideas for details but shaky execution, and I couldn’t always figure out how characters were meant to be feeling/reacting from how their facial expressions were drawn.

Obviously I am not the target audience. I had to think hard about this graphic novel. It wasn't what I expected-- it was so much more. Previous reviews here helped me see the layers.

June 16, 2023Absolutely brilliant look at the ways trans people attempt to navigate being around those who knew us pre-transition and have failed to comprehend the ways in which we are more ourselves. This book also has maybe the only example I've ever wholeheartedly loved of the "trans person gets to talk to their pre-transition self" trope, which is largely because Lubchansky's mordant sense of humor allows this trope to go in directions both darker and more poignant than it normally does.
Mattie is a friend, so grain of salt, but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

How do I not give this amazing graphic novel five stars?
When the shortlist for Tournament of Books came out, I had written off this book, thinking that anything tagged horror was not for me. Don't get me wrong - horror is still not for me. But this book was about so much more than the random cult and sea creatures.
It's hard to not spoil it considering its a 250 page graphic novel with more pictures than words, but I wills ay that the poignancy and thoughtfulness in this short little story was impactful to me. I loved it!

Sammie has recently come out as trans, and is working as an artist's assistant in the big city. Then they get invited to an old friend's bachelor weekend in the resort city of El Campo. El Campo is located on a floating platform in international waters, so just about anything is legal and/or permissible. Could be a good time, but Sammie hasn't identified as male in over a year, and the weekend could reopen old scars–for instance, their close college friend, Adam, asking them to be his “best man” …
And then there's the cult that seems to be trying to bring about the end of the world, and is having real success at recruiting just about everyone in the groom's party. Typical hedonistic weekend stuff. The book is ultimately about Sammie figuring out how best to live their own Truth, and what that Truth is.
I enjoyed this quite a bit. Mattie Lubchansky has a real gift for tweaking reality in interesting and amusing ways. This isn't our world, but the basis for it most certainly is. It works as an adventure story *and* a voyage of self discovery. The book's sly, skewed take on the world made me smile. The characters are engaging. The artwork is inventive in all the right ways. Definitely recommended!

Sammie Kavalski (they/them) is a transfemme and the "Best Man" for their college roommate's upcoming wedding. Sammie's out to Adam (kind of), but not so much to the rest of the bachelor party, which is being held on El Campo, a capitalist hellscape in international waters where the only regulations are those that serve the market. Can Sammie escape from the toxic bachelor party or will giant sea monsters devour them all??
Going by the cover, I thought the art would have a kind of flat, retro feel, but instead it's got a John Allison vibe with some Ren & Stimpy thrown in for extra flair, and a Groeningesque love of jokey background details. I dug it. It's expressive and fun, and I had no trouble identifying the main players, though some of the side characters did blur together.
The story successfully blends camp with real emotion, something that isn't easy to do, and balances Sammie's larger emotional struggle (these men used to be Sammie's friends! isn't that worth fighting for?) with the smaller day to day bullshit of being misgendered and unrecognized as the person you are. Sammie is lovingly drawn, with a wife and supportive community back home, and Sammie frequently checks in with them (and their conflicting advice) as they urge Sammie to hold on to old friends and/or get the fuck out of there.
There's also a conference for an MLM (not that acronym, the other one) cult with matching polar fleece vests, a box with some glowing goo, clones used for slave labor, sex work, and The Most Dangerous Game, and the aforementioned sea monsters. When the sea monsters show up it's actually a relief as there's suddenly a more pressing problem than being constantly misgendered. Like, yay, finally some peril you can just run away from without feeling obligated to fix it.
So this graphic novel is very good at what it's doing, and I was definitely entertained, but what it was doing made me so unhappy I can't really say I enjoyed it. In the end it's just a horror story, and the only solution is to get the fuck out.
Contains: kidnapping; cartoon gore; transphobia (ranging from oblivious ignorance to rudeness to outright hostility) and rampant misgendering. More people get Sammie's pronouns (and gender, and name) wrong than right, and it's only challenged twice.

well, this was a delight.
EDIT: also Yolk Hussy is my favorite fictional Eggslut
EDIT THE SEQUEL: speaking of egg (on my face) the main character of this book (who, like its author, is transfeminine and uses they/them pronouns) uses the word femmes (in the sense I so recently took umbrage with) in a way where I was like…okay. I see. I still don’t think “femmes” used in this sense is a coherent category but I understand what you’re doing here

Fantastic. Lubchansky is able to cram so much into this graphic novel about trans identity, male friendships and masculinity, and the exhausting demands of capitalism while also creating a sci-fi story that slowly builds up to a big climax that's physical and emotional. I've enjoyed her comics for a long time and I'm so glad I finally picked this up.

I don't know what I was expecting, but the plot inside this book was not it. I don't say that in a bad way, just in a very not-prepared kind of way. I was thinking this would be a very contemporary, rather normal story about how a trans woman deals with stealthing as a man at her friend's bachelor party to avoid hard conversations and explanations. There was that, and I would say the anti-trans perspectives of most of the characters around Sam was done very realistically; as a trans person myself it felt very relatable (and of course frustrating and irritating). But in addition to that, this island the group of friends go to is like Los Vegas on steroids, where there is essentially no law and life is treated like a video game. I did read through this book feeling like I didn't entirely know what was going on and also like some plot aspects were sort of brushed over or not explained enough given how not-normal the situation was, but I got the gist enough to get the picture. Even for a graphic novel, this is one of the most bizarre books I've ever read.
(As an addendum, I must have known this book was horror when I put it on hold at the library, that would explain why I was so excited to read it. But I do *not* remember reading all the details given in the book blurb, because that would have explained a lot... x'D)

I wanted more Cthulu and less pyramid schemes :( the book was definitely at its strongest in regards to Sammie's feelings trying to be around their friends who refuse to accept them.

2.5 stars. I've been looking forward to this for months and my library finally got in the print version. Sadly, this was not for me. Like at all. I don't know if it's because I read the blurb wrong or the blurb isn't accurate. I didn't get satire or horror out of it. I don't know if it was supposed to be another time (like the future) or an alternate world where there are weird places that take your blood and charge you for weird things and do really odd things that are supposed to be entertainment. I didn't mind the art style but the writing wasn't for me and I grew bored after about 10 pages. It took half way through the story to get to the "horror" part and really it was just SFF stuff. The main character Sammie put up with way too much bullsh*t and made excuses for her old best friend. I read the whole GN in 1.5 hours because I just wanted to get through it so I could go on to something I'll hopefully like more. If you're into SFF, light horror elements, weird stuff, tech bros and transphobia, you'll probably love this.

Sammie is newly trans but not so new that their best friend should be so clueless when he names Sammie his best "man" and invites him on a hedonist bachelor weekend on an island getaway planned by another friend. The microagressions are impressive as no one can be bothered to use Sammie's pronouns or check in on their feelings at such an outing. There is much debate and struggle for Sammie to try to fit in for their friend when he does not reciprocate at all. Then it goes into a weird horror filled sidebar when Sammie must face their old self.
It is an interesting story and the graphics are well done.

It's the casual dystopic trappings in the background that elevate Boys Weekend from an excellent disaster outing into a richly cast disaster world. The panels bristle with weight and emotion and the deep unease of performing happiness out of a sense of obligation to others. Go back and read the ads looming around the story, framing a neon-coated future extension of our own tech-driven hell.
Charming, withering, haunting, beautiful from cover to cover. Cannot recommend enough.

(4.5) I really liked this. The premise is fun & silly, but it is also one of the first books I’ve read that explores the difficulty of trying to hold onto old relationships/friendships after transitioning. Realatable for a lot of trans people lol!
July 25, 2023
What a weird little treat! As the survivor of multiple Vegas Bachelorette weekends parts of this felt SO relatable to me but then Lubchanksy also adds in another layer of gender identity and transitioning and how hard that would make things, and then plus also the sci-fi/fantasy metaphor of it all. Just really firing on all cylinders.
