How are you holding up with shopping, holiday cheer, and parties? Stressed out? Maybe this list of comics, trades, and graphic novels available in February might help ease that stress a little. What’s that? You forgot about comics? Breathe. It’s okay!
A few new things stand out for me. The Bloom graphic novel by Kevin Panetta and Savanna Ganucheau from 01: First Second sounds lovely. There’s a new Backstagers too! P Craig Russell adapts Lois Lowry’s The Giver, which I know nothing about, but Russell’s work always gets my attention. All five volumes of Steve MacIsaac’s Shirtlifting series are collected and titled as Unpacking from Northwest Press. And the Quick & Easy Guide To Queer & Trans Identities promises to be as good as the Quick & Easy Guide To Pronouns from a different pair of creators that Oni published several months back.
Part two is here!
What you’ll find here in part one are comics, trades, graphic novels, and manga from BOOM, DE, Archie, Black Mask, Vault, and more. Dark Horse, DC, IDW, Image, and Marvel (sometimes called the Big 5) are featured in part two…coming in a bit. The strange code with letters and numbers after each item are Diamond order codes for easy ordering with your comic shop!
The “fine print”! People’s names listed in bold are either LGBT+ or supportive. Credit where credit is due – Andy Mangels because this was his idea and to Mike McDermott and Steven Leitman for their suggestions and input about several series that have been added to the list! As much as we try, sometimes a book, series, or creator is overlooked. Send us a message if that’s the case or to let us know about your work that doesn’t appear in Previews.
The beg! Please think about using our Amazon affiliate link to order any of trades or graphic novels with links in the list (or any thing from Amazon). Of course, supporting your local comic shop and book stores is important too!

Though he loved working there as a kid, Ari cannot fathom a life wasting away his days over rising doughs and hot ovens. But in the midst of interviewing candidates for his replacement, Ari meets Hector, an easy-going guy who loves baking as much as Ari wants to escape it. As they become closer over batches of breads, love begins to bloom . . . that is, if Ari doesn’t ruin everything. Writer Kevin Panetta and artist Savanna Ganucheau concoct a delicious recipe of intricately illustrated baking scenes and blushing young love, where the choices we make can have terrible consequences, but the people who love us can help us grow.

UNPACKING OGN $29.99 Page 321
Steve MacIsaac and various
Please note the following desciption is taken from the book’s Kickstarter campaign due to Diamond’s policy of reserving adult content to its adults only catalog. The order code is correct though.
This meditative piece explores the challenges of knowing when it’s a good idea to follow your heart, keeping a relationship fresh, and how to end it and not hate each other afterwards. Unpacking isn’t quite a romantic comedy, or a sexy fantasy, it’s a fractal look into one love life where everything is separate but connected, and where there’s no way to survive grief but to go through it and get to the other side. MacIsaac has a knack for showing internal conflict and bringing the reader into another world. From hookups to flurries of texts to hard conversations, Unpacking asks the questions we all ask ourselves: “Why did you leave?” “What do I really want?” “What is wrong with me?” (STL107859)
