Sticks Angelica, Folk Hero by Micheal Deforge (D&Q) $21.95 – Sticks has escaped her heritage for the refuge of the woods and through her story, DeForge delivers another deeply humane work, one that subtly questions the integrity of the political state and contemporary journalism, all while investigating our relationship to the natural world.

Terms and Conditions by R. Sikoryak (D&Q) $14.99 – I-Tunes terms and conditions but as comics parodies. Started as a mini and is now a book.

Totally unauthorized. Totally hilarious.
