Megg and Mogg in Amsterdam by Simon Hanselmann (nominated for outstanding story and outstanding series) @girlmountain @fantagraphics
Simon Hanselmann’s Megg and Mogg is a low-key stoner comedy, frequently hilarious, often tragic and always poignantly insightful about the inertia and malaise of its self-destructive principals. When Megg and Mogg travel to Amsterdam (followed by the uptight and unwelcome Owl), their relationship starts to deteriorate in this New York Times bestselling collection of brilliant stories (originally serialized on Vice).
For fans of Boy’s Club, Ernie Pook’s Comeek, Blobby Boys, Octopus Pie, Girls, Broad City, Trailer Park Boys
"For his feature-length debut, Dash Shaw has assembled a stellar voice cast that includes Jason Schwartzman, Lena Dunham, Reggie Watts, Maya Rudolph, Margo Martindale, Susan Sarandon, Alex Karpovsky, and John Cameron Mitchell. The two-and-a-half-minute scene above, featuring Rudolph, Watts, and Schwatzman floating in a water-filled classroom, gives viewers a sense of Shaw’s deadpan absurdism."

ComiXology Conversations
At SDCC this year, Tia & Matt interviewed New York Times bestselling cartoonist and comiXology favorite Simon Hanselmann @girlmountain (Megahex, Megg & Mogg In Amsterdam, both from @fantagraphics):
Matt: Tia welcome back.
Tia: Thank you.
Matt: We’re here, we made it again.
Tia: It’s another day.
Matt: It’s another day in the wilderness, the sweaty wilderness that is San Diego Comic Con, and we have a colossal guest with us today.
Tia: 10 feet tall.
Simon: well that’s flattering.
Matt: Megg and Mogg in Amsterdam is probably maybe more recently what people might know Simon’s work from, but Simon Hanselmann, welcome to the show.

There’s a new Cosplayers comic in the new Smoke Signal (vol 25) from Desert Island Brooklyn.
Check out the book trailer for Cosplayers by Dash Shaw, a debut book at #SDCC2016. Music by Jesse Moynihan.
Cosplayers is cartoonist Dash Shaw’s ode to that defining element of fandom, the “costume play” of so many anime and comic conventions. Artfully celebrating both the culture’s obvious theatricality and uniquely D.I.Y. beauty, as well as its often awkward conflation of fantasy and reality, Cosplayers explores these delicate psychological balancing acts via a series of seven interconnected short stories surrounding two talented young women who combine their love of cosplaying with their love of social media and film in order to deepen their relationship with the popular culture they celebrate. Cosplayers depicts their stories in an affectionately funny way, celebrating how much more inclusive and humanistic fandom can be than most of the stories and characters it is built upon. Featuring plenty of easter eggs for fans of the broader culture as well as being the perfect entry point for those completely befuddled by it, Cosplayers is another distinctive, instant classic from one of the most acclaimed voices of his generation, and will be released around the same time as Shaw’s feature directorial debut, the independent animated feature My Entire High School…Sinking into the Sea starring the voice talents of Jason Schwartzman, Lena Dunham, Reggie Watts, Maya Rudolph, and Susan Sarandon.

Writer/Artist: Ed Piskor @edpiskor What it’s about: A painstakingly researched and consistently entertaining history of hip-hop. Volume one covers the mid-70′s through 1981. How you discovered it: My friend Ben Marra (@traditionalcomics) has a pin-up in the back (plus everybody’s talking about this book) Why you like it: Music and comics don’t seem like a natural match, but Piskor taps into something really elemental in this book. It probably helps to know the songs a bit, but you can basically hear them coming out of the page. Plus, the book’s energy and enthusiasm are totally contagious- if you’re not already a hip-hop fan, HHFT could make you one. This comics just, like, vibrates. Favorite moment: There are a few stories that weave through this first volume, but my favorite is the buildup to “The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel” (I also like it when another friend of mine, Michael Holman, makes an appearance)
