Check out Bryan Lee O'Malley's newest Graphic Novel, Seconds, just came out about a week ago and it is fantastic! I had no idea what the book was about prior to reading it and all I needed to know was it is a brand new story from Bryan. I read over 100 pages in one sitting and was drawn straight into the universe presented to me in the pages. The story is about a girl named Katie in her late 20's, who is a creative chef and runs a restaurant called, Seconds but is looking to start a new one across town in hopes of the perfect business. She deals with issues of the non relate-able younger generation becoming adults, problems with her X boyfriend showing up, and a mysterious house spirit. There's a fun fantasy element where the house spirit brings Katie a magic mushroom and if she eats it and writes down what she wishes she could've changed in the previous day just before bed, the problem magically goes away. Actually reminds me a lot of a Miyazaki film. But this is a good place to leave off before spoiling anymore of the story. So if you enjoyed Scott Pilgrim or just comic books about life, make sure to check out Seconds.
