Nafu Wants Food by Subi Bosa. Graphic Universe, 2025. 9798765629963. 112pp.

Nafu is the gigantic, hungry creature on the cover, and as the title suggests, he’s hungry. In fact he eats all of Mongo Village’s food then drinks all of their water and still he wants more. The Chief says it’s okay because Nafu protects the village’s residents and its temple, but a young girl named Doya points out that Nafu is a greedy bully.

Nafu soon wanders off into the desert and literally begins to fall apart. Then this becomes a much stranger story. Nafu’s head wanders for 15 years and finds a new village where food is controlled by a single family. There, creatures race for a chance to eat dinner, and then (minor spoiler) Nafu’s head ends up on the menu.

I’d have loved this weird graphic novel as a kid! And I hope to have a chance to read more of South African Subi Bosa’s comics.

It looks like the Buffy the Vampire Slayer sequel that was in development isn't going to happen after all.

But apparently Firefly of all things might be getting an animated series set between S1 and the movie.

Okay, I've got to admit that this is probably some of the best Pi Day news that I've ever gotten. I just found out that I completely missed the fact that Giordano's is going to be opening a restaurant in DC this spring.

Proper stuffed pizza! In DC! I never thought that I'd see the day.

Current Mood: cheerful

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

The Fire-Breathing Duckling by Frank Cammuso. TOON, 2025. 9781662665332. (Easy-To-Read Comics Level Two)

Cammuso (Max Hamm: Fairy Tale Detective, Otto’s Orange Day, Knights of the Lunch Table) has fun with an ugly duckling story about a “duckling” who is clearly not a duck. The animals are all cheerful and full of personality; the stand-out is the little blue bird, who helps the title character figure out what kind of duck he is .

All The Hulk Feels by Dan Santat. Abrams Fanfare, 2025. 9781419776137.

When scientist Bruce Banner gets angry, he turns into the Hulk. Hulk thinks Banner is mad for the wrong reasons. And Hulk wishes he could feel something other than anger. Santat’s drawings of the Hulk and a few Marvel villains are incredibly fun, as is the fact that this is an epistolary picture book — the text is mostly notes between Hulk and Banner.

Giant Baby! by Liz Rozenberg, illustrated by Eva Byrn. Marble Press, 2025. “9781958325247.

After his parents put him to bed, Ezra grows into a giant baby and heads out into the night. He towers over buildings! He uses real cars as toys! Will he make it back home before his parents find out he’s gone? I love Byrn’s drawings, particularly the cows at the end.

Here are two visually striking Batman graphic novels that have great stories, too.

Batman: City of Madness by Christian Ward. DC Black Label, 2024. 9781779527028. 160pp. Contains #1 – #3. Publisher’s Rating: Ages 17+.

Ward (Invisible Kingdom, ODY-C, Blood Stained Teeth, more) produces art that absolutely wows me. He proves his bright, unexpected colors can even succeed in creating a dark Batman story. The story. It involves the Court of Owls, a mirror Gotham City, and a young man out for vengeance. It’s bloody. There are tentacles. My favorite part is the way Ward draws Two-Face.

The Boy Wonder: Book One by Juni Ba. DC Comics, 2024. 9781799500322. 184pp. Contains #1-#5. No publisher’s rating.

Ba (Monkey Meat, Djeliya, more) illustrates the hell out of the story of Damian Wayne as Robin as he works to overcome his childhood training as an assassin with the help of those who were Robin before him.

Ba’s storytelling reminds me of the best books by Mike Mignola and Darwyn Cooke, especially in terms of pacing, and his page layouts are inspired. (Chris O’Halloran’s colors are stunning and somehow make every page work better; he knows when to shift into overdrive and when to back off in a way that’s beautiful.) It ends, as all great stories do, with a sword fight.

The extended stay hotel that I've been living in for over a year-and-a-half is being sold, so I've been desperately trying to find somewhere else to move. Through a lot of luck, I think that I've found a basement apartment in the home of an older woman nearby if I can get the money together to cover the deposit and first month's rent sooner rather than later. Which leads to this post. I don't have a lot left to try to sell right now, at least not until I really go digging in my storage unit to see what all is there, but I'm going to try to sell what I can in the hope of raising enough to get this apartment.

First, I have a few Nintendo Switch games for sale:

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! (example on Amazon)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy (example on Amazon)
TemTem (example on Amazon)

And then a few TTRPGs that were Christmas presents so they're still in basically like new shape:

Candela Obscura Core Rulebook (example on Amazon)
Daggerheart Core Set (example on Amazon)

If you're not interested but know someone who might be, please point them my way.

For payment, I have CashApp ($Settiai), PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle (nancy.lynn.foster@gmail.com).

If you’re at Emerald City Comic Con this weekend in Seattle, come say hello at booth #25000 in the Summit building and check out my single sample copy of the finished, factory-produced Bolted! game:

(I’ll have Wondermark pins, stickers, and books, as well.)

Bolted! games have finished being produced and are currently on a boat heading my way.

If you haven’t yet secured your copy of the game, a tiny little window of post-Kickstarter “late pledging” is still available. Shipping for all pre-orders should commence before the end of March!

https://librarycomic.com/?p=14701

Universe! by Albert Monteys. Image, 2021. 9781534318076. 196pp of story plus an afterward that includes sketches and other information on Monteys’ process, including one-panel gags. Contains Universe #1 – 5 originally published online at panelsyndicate.com where you can still name your price for this book and the rest of the issues of the series. The book opens with astronaut / chrononaut Thomas Marriot, an employee of Wortham Industries, and his digital assistant, Eye-3, in the whatever that preceded the Big Bang. With them is a strange device the purpose of which, if I explained it, would spoil the plot. But let’s say Wortham Industries decided the mission was a go even though this time jump consumed 23% of Earth’s resources. Does it have anything to do with the company’s undead CEO? Issue 2 involves a world in which people fall in love with their perfect robot companions, and of course they may be dangerous. #3 is about manned probes sent out to find intelligent life and report back to Earth. (The probe design is hilarious, as is the way the astronauts hibernate.) Issue 4 is too difficult to explain. #5 is another entertaining, unexpected story about time travel that unifies the book’s parts. My favorite part: the ants! Their story is wondrous and sad. Monteys adapted Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five into a graphic novel with Ryan North, and that book proved he’s brilliant. This one proves he’s both full of ideas of his own and hilarious.
