And now I will gush...
I read Skim yesterday. It is easily one of the best comics I've ever read. It's written by Mariko Tamaki and drawn by Jillian Tamaki
They really nailed what being a highschool girl is like.  They subtly and brilliantly show what it is like to be best friends with a person you hate, how everyone around you is stupid and everything annoys you.  Forbidden crushes, the day to day numbness of classes and the latent panic of realizing you have no idea what is happening in any of them. It is almost unsettling to me how much I related to this book. It is rare I ever read a comic and am able to turn the editor in my brain off and just enjoy the book. hours after I finished Skim I realized that I didn't once analyze what I was looking at. I've been trying to think of a comic that I've ever been this excited about, and I just can't.
