POS HC
Pierre Paquet (w), Jesus Alonso (a)
Lion Forge

Liz says: Pierre Paquet, an Eisner-nominated writer who founded the renowned European publishing house Paquet Editions, writes about his experience as a fledgling upstart in the comic industry, and about the relationships, he formed or finished as a result. Pierre’s ambitions to chase his dreams ultimately fractured many of his friendships and were prioritized ahead of romantic relationships. But one bond that always endured, which meant more to him than any other, was the companionship he shared with his dog, Sonny.

POS is a beautiful story in every sense. The story flits around between timelines, in such a way as to feel like memories swirling around in your own subconscious. The artwork by Jesus Alonso is just stunning, so evocative of emotion that even if this story had not been translated to English, it would be possible to feel out the story just from his mastery of facial expressions, body language, and visual characterization.
I fell down the rabbit hole with this book, intending to just flip through it and then devouring the whole 250-page story in one sitting. I highly recommend doing so yourself.
