    I have read last avengers story and enjoyed. Picked it up at a convention in issues format. Then bought a hc with it included with other stories but haven't cracked that open yet.

    A excellent video Omar and Melanie! ,have just added all these titles to my "Must buy" list. My birthday was a few days ago on the 9th,and I got a present that I'd call a hidden gem: Batman: Child of Dreams
    by Kia Asamiya. Batman goes Manga is something that could have gone so wrong, but I found the Monochrome Manga artwork to give this gripping mystery tale a stylish, fluid edge.

    I remember Last Avengers Story Omar - and I enjoyed it too when it first came out some years ago, though it was on the dark side for a Marvel comic of that sort at the time. Surprise - Marvel do remember it too, as it's being reprinted this month as the latest issue in the "Marvel Tales" comic line, with a new cover from Carlos Pacheco. So not deluxe, but should be at least a decent quality of printing within

    Suggestions: Exit Wounds by Rutu Modan. Beautiful work about modern Israel by a creator heavily influenced by the Tintin art style.
    Bloom by Kevin Panetta & Savanna Ganucheau. Sweet, touching, insightful gay boy love story. Perfect for teens as well as adults.
    Another video idea - books by single-panel artists. Gorey, Wilson, Adams, Larson are the names I think of first, but I bet there are many out there who aren't well-known but deserve to be.

    I am not sure if you have already talked about it but have you heard of "Bubble" by Jordan Morris and Sarah Morgan , published by First Second. I would love to hear your opinion about it cause I have not seen a lot of videos about it.

    I never hear any talk about Posey Simmonds comics :) my favourite is Cassandra Darke, about a cantankerous old lady who's done some shady art dealings in her time. She's a great anti-hero. 👍 Very dry, very British, very Scrooge. Not everybody's cup of tea but I loved it.

    For some unconnectable reason Gorey reminded me of Michael Leunig, a cartoonist whose gentle political cartoons always make me smile. A quick google will let you sample his style and humour. Definitely recommended. (Try searching Leunig summer goats motoring news)
