"This year's Best American Comics is too good to pass up. It's great from before it even begins in earnest. . . Luminaries such as Joe Sacco, Bill Griffith, and Ed Piskor are all in attendance, but pay attention to the work of the slightly lesser-known talents: the cheerful body horror of Ben Duncan, the medium-stretching abstraction of Deb Sokolow, the evocative diaries of Gabrielle Bell, the hard-core punk inks of Josh Bayer, and the charming crudity of Sienna Cittadino, just to name a few of the more memorable entrants." - Vulture "Editors Ben Katchor and Bill Kartalopoulos are this year's team for The Best American Comics 2017, which pulls together a smorgasbord of great talent in an anthology format and provides a superb starting point for adult readers to experience the breadth and depth of what graphic novels can offer." - Library Journal "This twelfth volume in the annual Best American Comics. . . casts a wide net, encompassing fiction and nonfiction graphic books, work in magazines, self-published minicomics, and online comics. . . the bulk of [which] are from younger and lesser-known creators that are producing boldly idiosyncratic work. . . [and] grants exposure to a cadre of challenging artists who are likely to be unknown to even the most avid comics fan."- Booklist
