Review of comic book "Something New" by Lucy Knisley (2016) – from Stuart McMillen’s graphic novel recommendations.

Lucy Knisley is one of the best comics artists that I have discovered in recent times. I'm really impressed by the sheer quantity of work that she has created in such a short time.

"Something New" is a Lucy Knisley’s memoir about an unexpected series of events where Lucy’s ex-boyfriend came to town and proposed to her. And then she agreed to marry him.

The book chronicles the whole story of their relationship – from the very first time that they met. Right up unto their wedding day.

Lucy does a great job of chronicling the experience of planning a wedding. This includes reconciling her feminist side with the realities of the marriage industry, which is well known for preying on the insecurities of brides-to-be. As well as all of the other things like her bachelorette party, and planning the big day itself.

I'd recommend this book for anyone that you know, who is engaged to be married. Or maybe a couple who has recently become married.

The book is 275 pages long, and I take my hat off to her for the sheer amount of detail that she was able to capture.

And I like the contrast between her illustrations, and the photographs that show what the real wedding was actually like.

Lucy Knisley continues to improve with age, and she's just given birth to her first child. So look out for her next book, which I'm sure will all be about pregnancy and motherhood.
