So, what exciting book should we tackle as a follow up to our last discussion of a 400 page adventure of a guy who works in a mail room and takes a plane trip to Michigan for Thanksgiving dinner? Well, how about a ten issue mini-series about a guy who writes obituaries for a South American newspaper?

No, really…

and get this… (it’s not even a SPOILER alert) the main character dies at the end of each issue! It’s Daytripper, the ten issue mini-series written and drawn by the team of Brazilian brothers Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba. Imagine the narrative arc of a film like Citizen Kane but told in serialized comic form. Here is the best thing about Daytripper;  it is clever, concise, easy to read, easy to digest and really fun to analyze!

Daytripper gets you thinking about what is important in each of our lives — family, responsibility, and art, while reminding us that life is indeed a glorious adventure.  It is, however, an adventure we will not survive.

So please plan to join us at the store on Saturday, March 5th at 1:00pm where we will discuss Daytripper in detail. As always, the book is being offered by Heroes with a 10% Discussion Group Discount, but be sure to mention it to the clerk when you are checking out.

See you there!
