Reading Roundup Wrapup: February 2012

Pick of the month: The Smartest Kid on Earth, Jimmy Corrigan: An Improvisatory Romance, Pictographically Configured by Chris Ware.  This could have been Watchmen easily, except that I try to not pick rereads if at all possible.  But Jimmy Corrigan is every bit as good a choice-- both books demonstrate an astounding understanding of the comics medium, pulling off techniques that it would be utterly impossible to do elsewhere, to great emotional effect.
