Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge discussion

Use this thread to talk about task #17: read a black-and-white comic.

Because it's one that I have to hand: The Disappearance of Charley Butters.

I read Hicksville and sadly ended up really, really disliking it. I appreciate what he was trying to do as a celebration of the comics industry, but the story was just so bad and he's not that good at imitating other comic styles. Also, I'd hoped since it took place in New Zealand I could use it for the "slice of life in another country" challenge, but alas. I'll have to buy Aya, I guess.

Two that I checked out for other reasons that happen to fit the bill:

Step Aside, Pops: A Hark! A Vagrant Collection
And
March: Book One

I am going to read Shortcomings for this task.

I'm reading Box Office Poison for this right now!

The Walking Dead compendiums!

I started Stray Bullets: Uber Alles Edition last year and made it through around the first 200 pages before abandoning it as too relentlessly bleak.

This year, my pledge is to "close" as many books that I opened last year as possible. So it goes onto this year's challenge list!
