I Hate The Internet (2016)

by Jarett Kobek

---

To me, it is a deeply fascinating book that explores race, capitalism, gentrification, and the swirling storm of rancid dog shit that is modern social media. Set in 2013 San-Fran and follows a 30-something comic book artist who gets thrown into internet infamy due to a rant of hers being uploaded to YouTube. This book is really funny, it made me hate social media even more than I already do... But I will say it is a little repetivive and hard to follow at times.

Karacehennem's (Turkish for "black hell") rant near the end of the book is really long and goes on for a couple pages but I think that was my favorite part of the book.

Don't take my word for it. I'm bad at writing reviews. If you like books about how shitty Twitter and San Francisco and big tech companies and pop culture are. Go read it for yourself now.

Batman: The Long Halloween (1996-1997)

by Jeph Loeb, with art by Tim Sale

---

The first Batman comic that I've read all the way through to the end. A really great first impression. Tim Sale's art really brings the story to life. Gripping dialog that kept me reading until the very end. Just the way I like it.

You will never guess who the Holiday Killer is until the very end.
