Giant Days #20

Few things in life test the human spirit quite like self-assembly furniture, and this cover by Lissa Treiman captures that struggle with pitch-perfect humor. Styled as a flat-pack instruction manual, it walks through the stages of IKEA-style despair: one character puzzling over a parts list, another hugging a half-built frame on the floor, and a third kneeling in defeat as wooden panels fly apart around her. John Allison, Max Sarin, and the rest of the Giant Days team have built one of BOOM! Box's most charming series, and issue #20 promises the same warm, funny energy that makes university life feel this relatable.
