With gorgeously detailed full-color artwork, there is a spooky tale of a sinister doppelgänger invading a girl's life by up-and-coming comics star Emily Carroll; Dave Roman and Raina Telgemeier's comedy of wizarding errors and online bidding wars; and Rad Sechrist's romp involving a teenage girl, an introduction to the basics of Shintoism, and a manic butter thief driving a grandma to the brink. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e So, don't hesitate.
