Giant Days, Volume 10: 08/29/19

Giant Days, Volume 10

Giant Days, Volume 10 by John Allison takes place in the summer between second and third year at university. Volume 9 ended with the roommates splitting up and going their own ways. Now we see the results of that decision.

Daisy was the one left with no housing options at the end of the second year. The first chapter/issue in this collection shows how Daisy comes to find housing for her final year at university. Let's just say after lots of soul searching, she finds the perfect solution.

Later on there's a hilarious chapter involving Daisy, Ester, and Susan at the career fair. Ester tries to put her usual unprepared state backed by her unlimited bravado to work and fails. Susan is on a medical career path and seems to have her life in order. But it's Daisy with her incredible organizational skills who ends up in a similar position to Willow and Oz in "What's My Line?" (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season 2).

Volume 11 comes out on October 11, 2019.

Five stars
