THE AMATEURS
FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS – @fantagraphics
CARTOONIST: Conor Stechschulte
EDITOR: Eric Reynolds
ISBN: 978-1-60699-734-5; paperback (June 2014)
64pp, B&W. $14.99 U.S.
Conor Stechschulte is a Baltimore-based comic book artist and a painter. Fantagraphics Books recently published his graphic novella debut. Entitled The Amateurs, it is the story of two amnesiac butchers who find their shop without meat and their heads with any memory of how to do their jobs.
The Amateurs opens with an entry from the diary of Anne M. Nemeth, a student at Lyre School for Girls. On the morning of September 3rd of an unknown year, Anne and fellow student, Bethany, discover a severed human head that still seems to be talking.
The story then introduces (via flashback?) a pair of butchers named Jim and Winston. They arrive for work at their butcher shop (of which Winston may be the owner) one morning only to discover that there is no meat in the shop. Still more shocking, the two men also realize that they have completely forgotten how to do their jobs. With the arrival of Martha and Shelly, two customers, Jim and Winston become fearful for their livelihood, too afraid to admit their dilemma. This leads to a series of increasingly disastrous events. The questions remains, what has caused their strange amnesia?
Somewhere between David Lynch and The Three Stooges lies the weird horror-comedy that is The Amateurs. This graphic novel is inscrutable, surreal, and brilliant. I could have read another 64 pages of it; I wanted to read another 64 pages. It is a fascinating read, and I found myself reading a few pages at time and going back to re-read those pages.
Stechschulte may not be a draftsman as a comic book artist, but he is able to create evocative graphics separate from the words in balloons and caption boxes. Those words, however, are also powerful and gripping, making the characters and situations intriguing and fascinating, even if both largely remain a mystery. Bring words and pictures together, and the result is a robust story of mystery and dark humor.
There is a sad-sack, human quality in Stechschulte’s character art and in his cartooning of the human figure. Jim and Winston’s nakedness, down to their mundane and feeble genitalia, makes them seem fragile. That fragility is what keeps Jim and Winston’s dilemmas and struggles tangible and genuine. That is what makes me care (still) about the two men’s fate long after reading The Amateurs.
The Amateurs could be a criticism of human nature, particularly of the disconnect between people. I think this fantastic graphic novella reveals that there is a connection, but also that there is a lack of understanding in how to use that connection. This leads to awkwardness and lots of flailing – hurting in lieu of uniting. That’s amateurish.
The Amateurs by Conor Stechschulte is an ambition debut. It is a small, black and white graphic novella with a story that is as explosive and as visceral as any superhero comics spectacular. Its black comedy is funnier than many straight humor comics. Readers looking for an ambitious alternative to the status quo will find it in The Amateurs.

Review: FOOD WARS!, Shokugeki no Soma Volume 1
FOOD WARS!, Shokugeki no Soma VOL. 1
VIZ MEDIA – @VIZMedia
STORY: Yuto Tsukuda
ART: Shun Saeki
TRANSLATION: Adrienne Beck
LETTERS: NRP Studios
EDITOR: Jennifer LeBlanc
ISBN: 978-1-4215-7254-3; paperback (March 2014); Rated “T+” for “Older Teen”
208pp, B&W, $9.99 US, $12.99 CAN
Food Wars!: Shokugeki No Soma is a shonen culinary arts manga from writer Yuto Tsukuda and artist Shun Saeki. The series focuses on Soma Yukihira, a 15-year-old boy forced to attend an elite culinary arts school.
Soma’s father, Joshiro Yukihira, runs a small family restaurant in the less savory end of town. Soma aims to one day surpass his father’s culinary prowess, so the teen hones his skills day in and day out. However, one day, his father suddenly decides to enroll Soma in a classy culinary school. Soma does not believe he needs to go to culinary school, so can he really succeed in a place that prides itself on a 10 percent graduation rate?
Food Wars!: Shokugeki No Soma, Vol. 1 (Endless Wilderness; Chapters 1 to 5) opens with Soma trying out some horrifying recipes on the customers at Yukihira Family Restaurant. Soma’ father, Joshiro, challenges his talented son to a cooking duel, which he wins. The son still has a lot to learn, but Soma believes that he is ready to take over the family business.
Before he leaves the country, however, Joshiro registers Soma at Totsuki Saryo Culinary Institute, the premiere culinary school in Japan. First, Soma has to win his admission. Standing in his way is Erina Nakiri, the beautiful, domineering heiress of the school, of which her grandfather, Senzaemon Nakiri, is the dean. She immediately scares away all of the new student seeking entrance into the school… except Soma. Can he convince her that he belongs there at all?!
[This story contains two bonus stories, the “special short,” Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma” and a side story, “Kurase’s Diary.”]
VIZ Media sent me a copy of the Food Wars!: Shokugeki No Soma Volume 1 for review. The publisher first released Vol. 1 for its digital manga app (March 2014). The print release is due this month (August 2014).
I didn’t think much Food Wars! after giving it a cursory glance, although I am a fan of “foodie manga” like Yakitate!! Japan and Oishinbo (as well as Toriko, which focuses on imaginary food stuffs and ingredients). After reading Food Wars! Vol. 1, I love it! I have another item for my full-course manga menu.
Food Wars!: Shokugeki No Soma mixes elements of samurai fiction, the culinary arts, and high school shonen comedy, and it certainly is funny. In Soma, the series has a brash, but likeable young male lead. His adversaries are culinary, cooking, and foodie snobs like Erina Nakiri and his fellow Totsuki Saryo students. I don’t want to spoil much more, but Soma’s cooking talents do something both outrageous and funny to people who doubt him and then, taste his cooking. Soma also has a mad scientist like tendency that gives the series another layer of humor.
The first volume of Food Wars! is a fantastic start to this series. I hope the second volume proves that this start is not a fluke. Fans of foodie manga and of shonen comedies aimed at older male teens will like Food Wars!: Shokugeki No Soma.

I Reads You Review: SALLY OF THE WASTELAND #1
SALLY OF THE WASTELAND #1
TITAN COMICS – @ComicsTitan
WRITER: Victor Gischler
COVER/ART: Tazio Bettin
LETTERS: Jon Chapple
VARIANT COVER: Tim Seeley
28pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (August 2014)
Sally of the Wasteland is a new comic book series from writer Victor Gischler (X-Men, Angel & Faith) and newcomer, artist Tazzio Bettin. Right off the bat, I gotta say that Bettin makes a star-turn with his work in the first issue of Sally of the Wasteland, and he and Gischler seem to have excellent chemistry as a creative team.
Sally of the Wasteland #1 opens 82 years after the Fall. This was a war of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons that killed off ninety-nine percent of the human population of Earth. The story begins in Southern Louisiana, outside of Baton Rouge, now known as “Red Stick” (the English translation of Baton Rouge).
On the west side of the Mississippi River, across from the former capital city of Louisiana, is a rundown, but active bar called “Bottom Feeders.” A wounded mystery woman, who calls her “Kat,” limps into the bar. She needs to get to New Orleans, now known as the “Forbidden City.” To make that journey, travelers have to face river pirates, mutants, and assorted gigantic genetic freaks and roving gangs of blood-hungry barbarians. And that is in addition to the mutant crawfish. To protect her object of desire, Sally and her beloved shotgun, Bertha, will run the gauntlet with Kat. Yeah, things will go from bad to worse.
When I first read about Sally of the Wasteland, I was all like, whatevs. Mutant crawfish, puh-lease. Titan Comics wouldn’t even be publishing this if Victor Gischler wasn’t a “name” writer, I thought. But I was just hatin.’ Sally of the Wasteland is a great read. I want more… NOW! As far as I can remember (at the moment), this is one of best post-apocalyptic comic books that I have ever read.
Gischler mixes familiar elements that remind me of one of my favorite bad-future scenarios: L.Q. Jones and Alvy Moore’s 1975 film, A Boy and His Dog (an adaptation of Harlan Ellison’s story that first appeared in 1969). There are also similarities to the films, Mad Max (d. George Miller, 1979) and Idiocracy (d. Mike Judge, 2006). In true Louisiana fashion, however, Gischler uses familiar ingredients to make his own gumbo. Even if some of the ingredients are mutated, Sally of the Wasteland still goes down good.
Tazio Bettin, who draws and colors this comic book, does a great job creating a distinctive graphic appearance. I live in Louisiana, so I recognize the topography and a few landmarks. More than a few people have said that every parish in Louisiana is like its own state. I think you can travel from town to town and find that each has its own diverse or distinctive culture. So it is important that Sally of the Wasteland looks different from other post-apocalyptic comics, not just in the characters (which it does), but especially in settings, backgrounds, and interior and exterior environments. Plus, Bettin, with his eye-candy coloring, just has a pretty art style.
I heartily recommend Sally of the Wasteland #1. Go and grab that.
