Reviews
Wonderfully fresh. At times, In fizzes with zeitgeist-skewering wit; at others, it probes the quiet places where doubt lurks and love can flourish. It's a very fine debut, from a serious talent.--The Guardian Mr. McPhail's witty and moving work shows the high stakes of small, everyday connections by affording a glimpse of a time when it's too late to make them. --Wall Street Journal on In: A Graphic Novel A graceful and painfully human narrative...Sharp and often quite moving.--The AV Club on In: A Graphic Novel A sharply observed, funny, and achingly poignant examination of a subject widely understood yet rarely described, rendered subtle and playful, and made wonderfully new.--Paris Review on In: A Graphic Novel [A] breakout graphic novel...The characters in In are absolutely delightful.--BookPage (starred review) McPhail's delicately lined graphite drawings, neatly squared into comics-y frames, are playful yet full of depth. ...Impressive art, a relatable hero's struggle, and a healthy dose of humor (Nick haunts establishments with names like 'Your Friends Have Kids Bar' and 'Gentrificchiato') will make McPhail's graphic novel debut appealing to many. --Booklist The visuals are scrumptious and the yearning for personal connection is deeply relatable...McPhail presents [beats] with style and grace, deftly moving the story along with subtle, impactful visual cues...Gorgeous.--Kirkus Reviews
