So without further ado… Matthew’s Pick of the Week… This week, I’ve come across two comics that strike me as near-required reading.

So without further ado… Matthew’s Pick of the Week… No pick this week, but an important bit of news: This Week in Graphic Medicine will be on hiatus, after this issue, until August.

Keep in mind that this means the next edition will also be strange as it plays catch-up to include the rest of this week (5/16 and 5/17). Matthew’s… Read More
