1. Please Dont Bomb the Suburbs: A Midterm Report on my Generation by William Upski Wimsatt (Akashic) $14.95 – Whoa whoa whoa- what was that title again? Well, hear him out on this. It’s about growing up, getting organized and a critical approach to choosing your battles. The writing’s still fiesty, hyper and determined and this time round W.U.W. is laying out why you don’t have to bomb the suburbs to get shit done, and where direct action can work. This is far more of a well-considered re-examination than some saucy 180-degree betrayal of his previous books. Just as long as the next one isn’t called “Please, More Prisons” -EF
2. Lose #2 by Michael Deforge $5.00 – Bacterial throwdown-throwup in this new beautifully drawn book mostly about -what else- deadly festering horse parasites. Love it. -EF

9. Jin & Jam #1 by Hellen Jo (Sparkplug) $5.00 – Jin and Jam is a head-on collision of California 2 Cool 4 School and Tekkon Kinkreet. -Yeah, it really is that good. Hellen Jo’s drawings are perfect and her action-packed San Jose misfit tween girl rampage fights dirty the whole way through. It’s an impeccable tornado of an issue and if you come out with a black eye and gum in your hair, you’ll consider yourself lucky. -EF
10. Bomb The Suburbs by William Upski Wimsatt (Soft Skull Press) $13.95

When Language Runs Dry #2: A Zine for People With Chronic Pain and Their Allies by var. (Microcosm) $4.33 – This support zine, coming from activist and scrapper perspectives, deals with living with and speaking about chronic pain, illness and health issues. Pain and Health issues are often invisible, and frequently treated as dismissable, along with health resources being frequently inaccessable, especially for long-term care and this zine thoughtfully begins the multiform conversations about radically reopening the complexities of our health. One of the overarching themes here is about sustaining. Taking care of ourselves and each other and staying engaged, even when there may be no answer or resolution or recovery in sight. -EF

Tales of Tiger Balm by Ariyana Suvarnasuddhi $2.00 – Ariyana sings us an ode to burn of Tiger Balm and the intricacies of the Chinese medicine cabinet.
