Nominations open in a few days, which is plenty of time for you to shill your favorite canon and lure people into your fandom. Feel free to use the comments on this post to tell everyone why your canon is the best!
GIANT DAYS: A slice-of-life comic following three college students and best friends. Daisy, Susan, and Esther face everything together — summer music festivals, nosy neighbors, IKEA, and more. If you enjoy good friendships, slice-of-life adventures, and hilarious dialogue, this comic might be for you!
The main characters:
DAISY WOOTEN: Homeschooled Daisy is the naivest of the three friends, but her cheerful exterior overlies a core of determination. Her Brownie skills and good sense often rescue her two friends from sticky situations. Daisy is a lesbian whose unfortunate luck in love becomes important later in the series.
SUSAN PTOLEMY: Not as hard-boiled as she likes to think she is, medical student Susan is the gruff realist of the gang. Susan often doesn’t know when to quit — even when she probably should. Her former (and future?) flame McGraw becomes one of the gang’s good friends.
ESTHER DE GROOT: A cheerful Goth with an unshakable flair for drama, Esther leads her friends into adventure, good times, and the occasional disaster. She’s also friends with Ed, another friend of the gang who’s been nursing a crush on her.
Giant Days is a stand-alone ongoing monthly comic written by John Allison (Scary Go Round, Bobbins, Bad Machinery) and illustrated by others. A longer introduction with sample pages is available from Geek & Sundry, and a preview of the first issue is available at the BOOM! Studios site.
The series is being published in four-issue paperback graphic novels and in eight-issue hardback collections. All issues are available for purchase electronically online, and the first 23 issues are available with a Comixology Unlimited subscription.
