Brownstone by Samuel Teer & Mar Julia
Bunt! by Ngozi Ukazu & Mad Rupert
A quick catch-up post with two YA graphic novels. Brownstone is a coming-of-age story about a teen reconnecting with her estranged father and his culture; Bunt! is a comedy about college art majors forming an impromptu softball team for a chance at a scholarship. Rather different, but both very good, depending on what you're in the mood for.

i got this DARLING commission of daisy from giant days via the @cartoonistcoop's e-sims for gaza donation drive.
this artist (mar julia) and dozens of others (including: mattie lubchansky, gabriela epstein, and val wise to name a few) are still offering commissions, pdf bundles, and store credit to folks who submit screenshots of donations to the e-sims for gaza campaign. accurate as of march 30, 2024.
consider supporting the donation drive (the blorbo art you get might convince someone else to donate as well) and if you make comics in any capacity, you could get a lot of value out of joining the co-op yourself.

Brownstone by Samuel Teer & Mar Julia (Artist)
5 out of 5 stars
Almudena's scatterbrained mother is off to one last big dance troupe before she gets "too old" and decides to leave Almudena with her father. Which, normally wouldn't be a big deal. However, Almudena has never met the guy. Not only that, they don't even speak the same language! Almudena quickly finds out that she's not even the "right" kind of Hispanic as to what she thought she was. She's Guatemalan, and what does that even mean?
This is very much a fish out of water story as the main character tries to understand the neighborhood around here--through the language, the culture, and even the socioeconomic issues as residents are priced out of their rented apartments. She feels like she doesn't belong and doesn't know what to do about it. All of that on top of becoming a young woman. It's just so much!
However, throughout the summer, Almudena starts to understand that learning who you are is also about learning the community around you and how you can help.
This graphic novel had fabulous illustrations that helped in conveying the neighborhood, its people, and their lives. All of the characters had such a realistic tone to them that I had to double check to see if this was a graphic memoir. They're fleshed out very well in ways that don't seem over the top, even the characters that are "unique," according to the neighborhood. I enjoyed the writing style as well and will have to look up some more works by these authors.
