I Am Not Okay with This

Charles Forsman's I Am Not Okay with This (Fantagraphics, 2017–present) follows a teenage girl grappling with the onset of violent telekinetic powers against the backdrop of small-town adolescence. Across a single issue, Forsman's raw, minimalist art and unflinching storytelling capture the suffocating isolation of high school, where uncontrollable rage and burgeoning sexuality collide. This series matters as a stark, emotionally honest addition to the indie-comics tradition, distilling the chaos of growing up into a tight, unforgettable punch.
