In stores today: Ganges #1
One of the perks of my job is that I get to read some comics before they are released to the public. When one of those comics was the first issue of Kevin Huizenga's Ganges for the Ignatz line I had to think to myself "I have the best job in the world." I have to echo the sentiments of Tom Spurgeon here. Everyone who is reading this post and loves a stimulating comic book reading experience please, buy this book today!
Not only is it the best Ignatz book since David B.'s Babel #1 it also continues the quality you'll find in Huizenga's Or Else series (a link to a review of the second issue is at my sidebar). All the stories feature Glenn Ganges and his wife Wendy so you can witness Huizenga's mastery of subtle characterization. Huizenga's innovate use of the comics form is also there, such as how the first story deals with the passage of time in a comic book story. Maybe the best of all is that the issue is about three times bigger than any issue of Or Else. Just go buy it.
