Goscinny, Rene, author, Albert Udezo, artist: Asterix vol. 3: Asterix and the Goths.
Herge: The Adventures of Tintin vol. 4: Red Rackham's Treasure, The Seven Crystal Balls, Prisoners of the Sun.
Sfar, Joann: The Rabbi's Cat
(Until now, I've only casually enjoyed Sfar's work, but this took my breath away. No wonder people were making such a fuss about it, a few years back! Such a gorgeous work, so mature and natural and kind, and so clever!
I want to study the Kabbala, i tell him. No, he answers. You're ignorant. You don't understand a thing. You have to start at the beginning.
Dammit, Sfar, you make me feel as humble and human as the cat isn't. God, I loved this book. Highly, highly recommended).
Manga:
Kanari Yozaburo, story, Sato Fumiya, art: Kindaichi Case Files: The Magical Express
(plenty of Akechi to keep me happy!).
