My Favorite Thing is Monsters 2
by Emil Ferris Author
This highly anticipated graphic novel sequel follows 10-year-old “monster” Karen Reyes as she navigates Chicago’s 1968 summer streets, seeking to solve the mystery of her neighbor’s murder. Mysteries layer upon mysteries in propulsive panel-to-panel storytelling as Karen learns more about her neighbor Anka Silverberg’s heroic actions of resistance in Nazi Germany; at the same time, Karen must contend with her brother’s secrets, the death of her mother, her own budding sexuality, and the interwoven stories of the characters around her. Told in Emil Ferris’s characteristic and brilliant style, full of pulp iconography and B-movie monster mania, this is another landmark in the contemporary graphic novel landscape.
