Young Men in Love edited by Joe Glass and Matt Miner
Here’s a comic that is sure to sweep you off your feet! Featuring twenty romantic tales between men of all kinds, this is the perfect anthology to curl up with when you’re in the mood for something sweet.
Blackwater by Jeannette Arroyo and Ren Graham
If you prefer your romance with more of a supernatural edge, you’ll dig this tale about two teen boys who seemingly have nothing in common — except their mutual interest in investigating the creepy goings-on in their hometown of Blackwater, Maine. Both funny and eerie, Blackwater is a dynamic YA graphic novel that will keep you hooked from first page to last.

Riot Recommendations
Today’s Riot Rec theme is: cooking! Whether you prefer spending your time in the kitchen or in the dining room, these delicious graphic novels will satisfy your appetite for fun stories and great art.
Onion Skin by Edgar Camacho
After breaking his arm and quitting his hated job, Rolando has no idea what to do with his life. Then he befriends Nera, a woman who lives in a broken-down food truck. Together, they refurbish the truck and start a successful business — much to the chagrin of a rival food truck owner.
Chef’s Kiss by Jarrett Melendez and Danica Brine
“What do you do with a B.A. in English?” If you’re Ben, you put your dreams of being a writer on hold and take the first job you can find — as a trainee chef — where you promptly fall in love with your cute coworker. With his future in the kitchen hanging on the mercy of a discerning pig, Ben must figure out what he really wants to do with this life. Recipes in the back!
And so we come to the end of another edition of the Stack. But don’t worry — like San Diego Comic-Con, I will return on Thursday!
