The big end-of-year ball is approaching and Daisy is determined to kiss a girl, while Susan and Esther prepare for "a summer of difficulty."
Much like the characters looking forward to their next year I look forward to the future of this book with a sense of wonder and anxiety. Wondering, as always, will Ed and Esther finally get together? Will Susan and McGraw get back together"again? Will Daisy return to her home planet? Giant Days #18 is a perfect issue of a perfect comic. And if you are hesitant to start reading the title now, don't be. The storytelling is so concise that you can start reading this book from any issue and enjoy it. Although if you do I guarantee you'll be buying all the trades after that. Read Full Review
This issue effectively tied up a lot of loose ends. Now that the first year is over, I'm beyond excited to see where Allison takes this group of ragtag students next. Wherever they go, I will happily follow. To read this insanely entertaining series, head over to your local comic book shop and give it a read. Read Full Review
Giant Days #18 is a hilarious testament to the relationships that John Allison has developed throughout the series, and Max Sarin, Liz Fleming, and Whitney Cogar add energy and humor to everything from an end of term dance (Where someone obviously gets lucky.) to a shouting match at the local Games Workshop.

This issue provides a really nice wrap up to the story lines and leaves some of them open enough to be continued on into the next school year. Plus we get a little hint that the next time we see the girls they may not be at school but at a summer music festival before the fall term starts out. That could be exciting! Here's to a great first year, Giant Days. (Well, year and a half as far as publishing goes.) Here's to many more to come! Read Full Review
Nothing makes me happier than to see a book I thought was slipping have a strong issue (and it doesn't always happen, see this week's Batman review). Giant Days #18 is a delight from start to finish, and, most importantly, promises more of the same going forward. Read Full Review
