Giant Days #49

Giant Days #49 brings a wonderfully deadpan image to this BOOM! Box series: a goth girl clutching what appears to be a phone or small device eyes a large, imperious bald eagle perched right beside her — both of them looking deeply unimpressed with the situation, against a sweeping American flag backdrop. Max Sarin's cover art perfectly captures the series' gift for comic awkwardness, pairing the absurd with the relatable in a single glance. With John Allison writing and Whitney Cogar's vibrant colors bringing it all to life, this 2019 issue is a charming reminder of why Giant Days has such a devoted following.
