Awesome Future: Stories of Victorious Action

With a good-hearted sense of humor, an inclusive tone, and a constructive eye towards survival and a better world, this beautifully drawn collection of comics is positivity incarnate—but not mindless. The positivity in these pages reinforces the idea fighting the good fight is a noble, important thing—even if you don't always come out on top. Comics include a look at a day in the life of Maxx the dog, a run-in with a bear, and “Shut Up and Love the Rain,” a piece on keeping an open dialog about sexual desire.
