The second volume of Allison and Cogar's charming comic opens with friends Esther, Susie, and Daisy getting ready for a big dance at their university. Their meager budgets send them to a second-hand store, and thanks to Esther's handy sewing-machine skills, the ladies look fantastic. But all the fine tailoring in the world can't ensure a magical evening, and in between glasses of wine, the evening becomes a real downer. Other chapters cover the horrors of returning home for break (particularly for Susie, who burned some powerful bridges last time she was there), exams, bad relationships, and a particularly acute case of Friday Night Lights addiction. While there are fewer poignant moments in this volume, Allison and Cogar's comedic timing is fantastic, and the wealth of puns and groaners will tickle plenty of readers. Treiman and Sarin's artwork continues to be perfect for the wry, earnest characters eir stylized figures in bright, bold colors ooze personality, and a slinky sense of movement gives the whole package a lively feel. Perfect for fans of Noelle Stevenson's Nimona (2015).

Continuing their first semester at university, fast friends Susan, Esther, and Daisy want to find their footing in life, But in the face of hand-wringing boys, “personal experimentation,” holiday balls, nu-chauvinism, and the willful, unwanted intrusion of “academia,” they may be lucky just to make it to spring alive.
Giant Days, the comedic slice-of-life series from creator John Allison (Bad Machinery, Scary Go Round) and artists Lissa Treiman and Max Sarin, has graduated to a second volume.
