5. UK ETS ADLI (HE LOVES HER) (Gosh Comics London)


A new (to me, at least) comic from Cole (INDIGENEITY IN COMICS) Pauls.


6. S! #49 (kushkomikks)


The latest KUS! anthology is special in containing no less than EIGHT local Latvian artists. It's also great to discover unfamiliar artists from the U.S. like Walker Tate.


7. I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU #11: OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2023 (Radiator Comics)


There are so many diary/autobiographical comics out there (this isn't even the only one on this list), I was impressed with the loose cartooning-style on the samples included with this one.


8. LAMBCHOP LIPGLOSS (Wasted Ink Zine Distro)


Some excellent full-color work by Sam Grant in this one. That cover alone is worth the price of admission.


9. MEDIOCRIDAD INNATA #3 (Other Books LA)


Mexico City artist Abraham Diaz selected works from 2016-20, old-fashioned magazine-sized Xerox zine. instagram


10. NON BINARY (Little Deer Comics)


Columbus, OH cartoonist Melanie Gillman full-color autobiographical comic.


BONUS: Last week we missed Steven Solomon's new mini announced on bluesky titled: Bones Pulp Mini Comic
