The most anticipated graphic novel of 2024, concluding the story of young Karen Reyes, the most inspiring “monster” in contemporary fiction. Set against the tumultuous political backdrop of late ’60s Chicago, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters Book Two is the eagerly awaited conclusion to one of the most acclaimed graphic novels of the past decade. Presented as the fictional graphic diary of 10-year-old Karen Reyes as she tries to solve the murder of her beloved and enigmatic upstairs neighbor, Anka Silverberg, a holocaust survivor, while the interconnected stories of those around her unfold. In Book Two , dark mysteries past and present continue to abound in the tumultuous and violent Chicago summer of 1968. Young Karen attends a protest in Grant Park and finds herself swept up in a police stomping. Privately, she continues to investigate Anka’s recent death and discovers one last cassette tape that sheds light upon Anka's heroic activities in Nazi Germany. She wrestles with her own sexual identity, the death of her mother, and the secrets she suspects her brother Deez of hiding. Ferris’s exhilarating cast of characters experience revelations and epiphanies that both resolve and deepen the mysteries visited upon them earlier. Visually, the story is told in Ferris's inimitable style that breathtakingly and seamlessly combines panel-to-panel storytelling and cartoon montages filled with B-movie horror and pulp monster mag iconography.

Spettacolare
Avevo già il n.1 e devo dire che il livello grafico è eccezionale, e anche le storie rappresentate dai disegni. Non c'è nulla di simile in giro!

A wonderful piece of art
This is the second installment of My Favorite Thing Is Monsters. Everything about it is great: the story, the characters and the art. The book is about a pre-teen girl navigating her family situation, her own existence, art and crime against the backdrop of a mysterious murder. If you are a comic reader, this comic is about you, but it is unlike any comic you have read before. I did not think I would relate so much to a young brown queer girl, as a grown ass cis white man. It took me a minute to get into the first book and I had to start it twice, on accounts of it being so different from what I am used to. So, do yourself a favor: get the first book and commit to the first 20 pages. You'll be back for the second book.

Brilliant!
I first saw a French edition at a friend’s and I fell in love. Amazing artwork and a great story.

nicht zu toppen
Monsters 2 vervollständigt das bahnbrechende Werk von Ferris zum epischen Magnum Opus. Für mich ist die Monsters-Saga die maßgebliche Neuinterpretation (seit William Blake) der göttlichen Komödie im 21. Jahrhundert und von bleibendem Wert.

Capa mole, mas com orelhas.
Não vou comentar do conteúdo porque eu acho perfeito. Mas sim do acabamento do livro e da qualidade do papel que é exatamente como a nossa edição do primeiro volume da Cia das letras. Tem orelhas, um tamanho maior que um livro comum, e o papel eh de ótima qualidade e não é brilhoso!
