PRESS "Emil Ferris is one of the most important comics artists of our time." — Art Spiegelman (Maus) "A thrilling and surprisingly profound novel ... The book is a fine balance of stunning artwork and terrific writing." — Chicago Tribune "One of the most profound, ambitious, and accomplished creative works to appear in any medium this decade. ... Rarely have words and pictures worked together so seamlessly in service of such a complex narrative." — Forbes "The novel tackles race, gender, and what it means to be 'monstrous' in big and small ways. It could not be more relevant to today's climate." — Mother Jones "No one has ever made a comic like Emil Ferris's assured, superhumanly ambitious two-part debut graphic novel My Favorite Thing Is Monsters.…It threatens not merely to exceed established standards of excellence, but to set new ones." — The Guardian
