Koyama Press

A forest themed comics and art anthology co-edited by Michael DeForge and Annie Koyama. Book design by Diana McNally. Each artist is given two pages to show their best work. Cover art by Michael DeForge.
Contributors include Jon Vermilyea, Derek M. Ballard, Dan Zettwoch, T. Edward Bak, Robin Nishio, Ines Estrada, Lizz Hickey, Mickey Zacchili, Jesse Jacobs, Jason Fischer, Hellen Jo, Angie Wang, Greg Pizzoli, Joe Lambert, Bob Flynn and Chris "Elio" Eliopoulos.
"This is the indie comics anthology done right. It possesses all the wild artistic abandon of, for example, a Kus or a Nobrow collection whilst having the kind of authoritative restraint of the soon-to-be-dearly departed Mome. Unlike a lot of anthologies (the three aforementioned series very much excluded), Root Rot excels through having a consistent theme and format. The book's evocative eponymous through-line and consistent two-pages-per-artist restriction gives it a strong identity and rhythm that creates a genuinely cohesive-and rewarding-reading experience." --Martin Steenton, Avoid The Future

Beneath the streets of cities lie networks of hidden water features, sewers and storm drains, which go unobserved by the general public. Jeremy Kai's underground photography explores these buried vistas, as well as the concepts of urban watersheds and the methods in which cities and their populations interact with them.

Matthew Forsythe imparts his unique brand of comics knowledge in Comics Class a loosely-drawn, quasi-autobiographical comic about the comics class Forsythe once taught. Hegelian dialectics, sexual politics and the detestable use of clipart in comics are just some of the issues that Forsythe tackles with his disaffected class of 11-year-olds--that is when he isn't challenging them to arm wrestle.

This issue—"The Fashion Issue"—features a post-adolescent punk's leather-and-spike-laced metamorphosis, a look at the lives and fashions of the exquisite corpses that make up the Canadian Royalty, and a town that is haunted by its past, which happens to look a lot like its present.

The Big Team Society League Book of Answers by Toronto jam comics collective Team Society League (Aaron Costain, John Martz, Steve Wolfhard, and Zach Worton) is an absurd, ridiculously violent and unabashedly immature comic destined to be hidden between, and confiscated from, the pages of history textbooks.

The Infinite Wait and Other Stories is not a sustained narrative, but rather a collection of three short stories. The stories in this collection contain Julia Wertz's signature acerbic wit, ribald humor, and keen eye for the everyday, but they also find the cartoonist delving more deeply into the personal.

Eat More Bikes takes its title from Nathan Bulmer's daily webcomic, but the comics in this collection are all new. Rest easy Bulmer believers, these comics are just as joke-filled and still traffic in the same absurdist humour Eat More Bikes is known for. Guaranteed to have butterflies, at least one BMX, and a duck constabulary; not guaranteed to be found filed under cycling or food. Nathan Bulmer's work has appeared in MAD Magazine, Time Out New York, Seattle Magazine, The Comics Journal, and his own self-published minicomics.

Jane Mai will give you advice if you ask for it. With Sunday in the Park with Boys she has given us a poetic account of self-discovery and self-loathing. In this comic as emotional cartography, persona and person collide as Mai contends with loneliness, heartache and herself.
