• The cast includes Addy, who’s left to cope when her omnipotent superhero friend Jeff self-destructs; Addy’s girlfriend Lilah, a witch investigating monsters in Arizona (“Magic’s so... complicated out west,” she complains); Soe, around whom water and ice keep materializing; Casimir, an alien renegade who winds up working at a truck stop “on the outer rim of the Perseus arm”; and Otis, a robot exploring Buddhism after the death of his human husband. First Second, 29.99 (320p) ISBN 978-1-250-87375-0 Video game designer Mechner uses alternating color palettes to distinguish between his, his father’s, and his grandfather’s timelines in this illuminating debut. Scenes from his Jewish grandfather Adolf’s unfinished memoir about living through WWI and WWII unfold in parallel to Mechner’s more quotidian struggles to keep his marriage together after he moves his family to France in 2015.
