Happy Friday! New York Comic Con is this weekend and we’re getting in the spirit with these new & forthcoming graphic novels:

GOING INTO TOWN: A Love Letter to New York by Roz Chast
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of CAN’T WE TALK ABOUT SOMETHING MORE PLEASANT?, Roz Chast’s new graphic memoir—a hilarious illustrated ode/guide/thank-you note to Manhattan. “Chast’s voice and vision make this a singular love letter to a singular city.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review

BAKING WITH KAFKA by Tom Gauld
A best-of collection of literary humour cartoons from the critically-acclaimed Guardian cartoonist. “The art is dominated by shadowy stick figures that inhabit often complex spaces, which somehow makes it all the more droll.” — Publishers Weekly

VERAX: The True History of Whistleblowers, Drone Warfare, and Mass Surveillance: A Graphic Novel by Pratap Chatterjee & Khalil Bendib
In a sweeping graphic history, VERAX (“truth-teller” and one of Edward Snowden’s code names) recounts the full story of American electronic surveillance post 9/11, in brilliant comics form. “An accessible book that sounds the alarm on how modern technology can be used by the government against its citizenry.” — Kirkus Reviews
