Giant Days Vol 1 John Allison Whitney Cogar Lissa Treiman Books

GIANT DAYS, by John Allison was, like NIMONA, born from a webcomic Allison had begun much earlier. On the pages of GIANT DAYS we find protagonists Susan Ptolemy, Esther de Groot, and Daisy Wooton hanging out together in Susan's dorm room after the events that take place in the webcomic/mini-series. The exposition is light, and honestly, it doesn't really matter much. GIANT DAYS is a slice of life comic/graphic novel that slowly explores the transition between teen to young adult as our little British girl gang runs and stumbles through their first year of college.

Timing is of great importance for GIANT DAYS, because with so many short/small plots that do conclude in some fashion the larger overall narrative could quickly become boring. But Allison manages to keep readers' engaged and interested in what happens next (and what happened before, and who are these girls?!) throughout. The art for the first volume, deftly drawn by animator Lissa Treiman, also adds a sense of motion and fluidity between each panel and page, and encourages the audience to really get into these cuties.

I was surprised to find that a lot of Allison's work has female protagonists at the center of the work. Although male, Allison's writing of the female experience doesn't seem contrived, 2-dimensional, or stereotypical. It's rich, varied, and layered - surprise, surprise - like real women's lives! And Allison cleverly tackles issues like romance, sexual exploration and identity, sexism, body image and body positivity, and more in a way that is thought-provoking and humorous.

Giant Days Vol 1 John Allison Whitney Cogar Lissa Treiman Books Reviews

We follow Susan, Esther, and Daisy as they start their freshman year of college. The three girls move next to each other quickly become close friends. Throughout the graphic novel we tag along as they try to navigate and survive their first year of college.

Each girl is very different and I appreciate the variety of their personalities yet how they can all be friends and really support and lookout for each other. Susan is this down to earth girl who we see get tangled in emotions over a guy. Esther appears to be this gothic chick yet she’s full of drama and adventure. Then there’s Daisy who is just a crack up and I’m leaving it to you to figure her out.

The artwork is fun and very cartoonish. I love that the story and art flow so seamlessly together and more than once it had me laughing out loud. For me this graphic novel is much more character driven than the plot, but it did still raise some social, personal, and moral issues which I enjoyed. These girls are so much fun and entertaining. I can’t wait to watch them grow through this journey they’re on.
Super relatable, cute and sweet and really funny, this comic has it all! I also own the next two, it's a really great comic! Would recommend.
I'm admittedly not a hard sell, but it only took a few pages before I became heavily invested in these characters. I love them and I repeatedly want to reach into the comic and shake them until they start making better decisions
This Graphic Novel is good if you are a tween, which I am not, I bought it as I was looking for female orientated graphic Novels, and books. Some sections I did enjoy, and I think this title is awesome for teens or YA. Well done.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this based on a friend's recommendation, but I was completely blown away! The writing is clever, funny, and on point all the time, and the characters are instantly likeable. The artwork is similarly great, and matches the writing perfectly. It's a slice of life comic without pretension and I can't get enough. As soon as I finished this book I was back online ordering the second. Don't sleep on this one! It's worth every penny!
Giant Days wasn't at all what i thought it'd be, but it was still a fun read. A group of girls in college, friendships, late nights and feminism. It was sweet and engaging. There was also a lot of reference to pop culture. Im definitely curious and will probably continue with the series.
I really like this book. The characters are fun, yet flawed. The art is BEAUTIFUL! It looks a little roughed, which is more than fine, because the characters poses and expressions are so expressive and detailed. The backgrounds are fleshed out impressively.

Story wise, it is fun. The characters play off of each other in interesting ways. It is college drama stuff, so if you aren't a fan of such things, that would be bad. Personally, I'm generally not a fan of that genera, and feel as though this does it right, or at least differently.

I guess one of the things about it is that this isn't "girl sees dude, falls in love, etc. etc." Which can be a lot of school books with a female protagonist. And while a dude is there who probably will be the protagonists boyfriend... again... he isn't the sole focus. Who knows, maybe in later volumes I will eat the words on this post, but for now the characters feel more human. and I like that.

Seriously I love this art.
