McGraw's new girlfriend is the Anti-Susan, Esther and Ed get into hot water with a money-making scheme, and Daisy has trouble with a professor on an archaeological dig.
So why then, might one well ask, with all this negative to say, am I giving Giant Days #17 a four out of five rating. Well, Giant Days is, and has been, a breath of fresh air in a medium that can at times feel a bit stale and monotone. That hasn't changed. Giant Days remains witty and firmly rooted in strong characters. The single knock against it which I've tried to get across in this review is that it's not as good as it was at its start. This leaves it as a good book with the constant potential to be a great one. I end Giant Days #17 wanting more, but hoping that next month it might go back to being truly outstanding, which, as any longtime reader knows, it can be. Read Full Review
Daisy, though, kinda loses it at one point. One of the professors on her trip is an insufferable jerk and keeps telling her that everything she is doing is wrong. Every time she starts having fun he comes around to ruin it. Finally she goes off on him. But it turns out that he's a has-been who really only gets his kicks from making other people miserable so.

For any fan of Giant Days, this is a great issue that lets us examine each character individually. It's actually really fun to see them apart from each other. This gives Allison room to work on some more characterization. Any and all students and fans of plain old good storytelling will appreciate this book. It comes out this Wednesday, August 3rd, so head to your local comic book shop to pick up a copy for yourself! Read Full Review
