SEAN: Another week, another really obvious pick. I’ve loved the other Moto Hagio volumes we’ve seen over here, and so absolutely cannot wait for the first volume of Otherworld Barbara, a story so good it won the Japan SF Grand Prize, the Japanese equivalent of a Nebula Award. It’s from Fantagraphics, so should look great too. And an omnibus to boot!
ASH: Yup, no question about it. It’s Otherworld Barbara for me, for all of the reasons that Sean has already described and more.
MICHELLE: Count me in, as well!
ANNA: Is this a unanimous pick? I agree too!
MJ: This, this, this, THIS.
