Stumbling across Her Frankenstein at my local library was how I discovered Living the Line! Libraries are excellent for trying out new titles to see if you like them without taking a risk on something you may or may not like!

In my first newsletter update of 2026, I review my top 10 comics of 2025! @livingtheline.bsky.social @breakdownpress.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social samsstudios.substack.com/p/week-of-15...
Steer over to Comics Beat for a review of Harpy, a late-breaking contender for the hardest-hitting sci-fi GN of 2025. This massive 308-page gn pulls the dystopian 2060s into unnerving focus, as competence + class division collide with revenge + obsession. In the lineage of Shirow, Otomo & Druillet.

Excellent cult-horror from Kawashima Norikazu! Also appreciated is the included essay on the occult in postwar Japanese culture by Tanaka Hirokazu! Available through @livingtheline.bsky.social #gekiga livingtheline.com/livingthelin...
Out this Wednesday! HARPY by @ephk.bsky.social 💙 A brooding, futuristic detective tale, perfect for fans of Blade Runner. HARPY perfectly embodies EPHK’s sci-fi pin-up style and personality. It’s stunning!! Our copies come with a limited signed print too! okcomics.co.uk/products/har...
Harpy by @ephk.bsky.social was phenomenal on all counts! Great story serving up both action and mystery, paired with incredible art that has some of the best action sequence that I’ve seen. A definite must-read!
