Good. by FLuX and David Good
Though raised by a white father in a white American neighborhood, Good always keenly felt the ways in which he was different.

This memoir recounts how Good reunited with his mother and came to accept his own identity. You can buy this book directly from the publisher, NBM Graphic Novels!

Riot Recommendations
Today’s Riot Rec theme is: unhealthy relationships! They’re no fun to be in, but they make for some very compelling graphic novels.
Send Them a Farewell Gift for the Lost Time by Cocomi
Naruse and Toui are not happy together, but neither can they find happiness apart — mainly because they can’t seem to stay away from each other long enough to get over each other. This adult-only story follows the troubled lovers as they try to find a way to make things work for both of them.
Decodependence by Lila Ash
Ash struggled with codependency for most of her life, not even realizing that the way she related to others was neither healthy nor normal. Finally, in her late 20s, she took the first steps towards recovering from her unhealthy habits. It’s a journey that culminated in this touching memoir.
We’ve got plenty more comics to discuss two days from now, so be sure to stick around for that!
