Between fielding fatherly lectures on the importance of doing his taxes, how to properly shovel the driveway, and why he should always tip twenty percent, Alex tries to figure out what he needs to say to his dad. Is this a good time for him to come out as bisexual? Or maybe he should ask his dad why he loved drinking so much when it nearly destroyed his health? With help from his mom, his brother, a whole cast of extended family members, and, of course, the ghost himself, Alex tries to figure out how to say goodbye. In the tradition of Roz Chast’s Can’t We Talk about Something More Pleasant? and Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home, this graphic novel uses humor to examine family foibles and eccentricities as well as the experience of losing a parent.

GARGOYLES WINTER SPECIAL 2025 #1 $5.99
Greg Weisman, Nate Cosby, and George Kambadais
For Elisa Maza, December is bittersweet. She loves the snowy streets of New York City and the bustle of the holiday season – and having a Gargoyle boyfriend who carries her above the skyscrapers to see all of the festive lights is a pretty great perk. But the month also reminds her of an unsolved mystery from her first year as a detective – a baffling break-in that featured odd clues, a stolen family heirloom, and vague descriptions of a lumbering ‘thing’ that was seen only in the shadows. As she tells Goliath one icy winter night, the fact that she was never able to crack the case still gnaws at her, even after all these years. And that’s all that Broadway needs to overhear to convince him to don his private eye trench coat and reopen the investigation – accompanied, of course, by Bronx and his bull terrier pal, Lance! Co-written by Gargoyles creator Greg Weisman and Nate Crosby, and illustrated by George Kambadais, this 40-page one-shot uncovers a chilly new chapter in the saga of the Stone Guardians. 1025DE0575 (ONE SHOT)
