THREE SHADOWS
Cyril Pedrosa
(Paperback; on sale now)
Young Joachim looks out his window one moonlit night to see three horsemen waiting on the hillside. When his father realizes that agents of death have come for his son, the two set out to escape fate — against the wishes of Joachim's mother — journeying on the high seas and encountering a host of undesirable characters. FOR FANS OF... The Seventh Seal. DOES IT DELIVER? Pedrosa, a former Disney animator (he worked on The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Hercules), masterfully sketches in ever-changing proportions of black and white, fluidly navigating the horror and hope of his captivating tale. A- —Sean Howe
LITTLE THINGS: A MEMOIR IN SLICES
Jeffrey Brown
(Paperback; on sale now)
Divided into short chapters in random order, Little Things serves up snapshots of Brown's personal life, touching on everything from a camping trip to his trials with love and even credit-card fraud. FOR FANS OF... Liz Prince's Will You Still Love Me If I Wet the Bed? DOES IT DELIVER? An autobiography junkie, Brown is no stranger to dishing on the good and bad of past relationships (see: Clumsy) and almost wins you over here with funny, endearing segments like ''How to Meet a Girl.'' But while you're relieved to see him grow up a bit with the birth of his son at the end, together these slices of life are too disjointed — and the stories too short — to give you anything to really bite into. B– —Loren Lankford
