About the Book

From writer and colorist extraordinaire Oliver Mertz (The Monuments, First Law of Mad Science) and acclaimed artist Alex Diotto (Youth, Indigo Children) comes a weird tale of conspiracy, faded superheroics, and suburban angst in '90s Washington, D.C. Sixteen-year-old Ari Ackerman just witnessed a murder. Or two. Or maybe he didn't. He's not quite sure. What he does know is that he loves the Washington, D.C., punk scene and is trying very hard to process the perpetual impending death (and frequent resurrections) of his cancer-stricken father. Ari's best friend, Maya Meng, just wants to hang out and go see Jawbox play at the Black Cat. But sadly, an escalating series of unexplained deaths can really ruin a perfectly good day. For readers who like What's the Furthest Place from Here?, Love and Rockets, David Lynch, Daniel Clowes, Seinfeld, Agatha Christie, Powers, Fugazi, and Wes Anderson, A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts is sure to evoke all the feelings that come with being an outsider, making sense of the world around you, and finding your place in it.

Review :
"A great new world of superheroes, a nostalgic look at growing up in the 90’s, and a murder mystery, all at once [...] Highly recommended.” —Clay McCormack (Batman White Knight)

“Solid storytelling, beautiful drawings, wonderfully tasteful colors, and captivating mysteries made this book a delight to read." —Farel Dalrymple (The Wrenchies)

“Bored teenagers, basement punk shows, superpowers, the suburbs, and a really weird murder mystery. A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts is like if Daniel Clowes and David Lapham got together and tried to create the X-Men but really didn't care that much if they saved the world or not. And I can't think of a higher compliment I could give." —Matthew Rosenberg (4 Kids Walk Into A Bank)

"Punk rock. Washington DC in the ‘90s and superheroes. A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts is a book after my own heart. I loved it." —Steve Niles (Gray Matter, 30 Days of Night)

A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts is a superhero comic unlike any other—grounded and human, perfectly rendered by Diotto and Mertz. The story feels lived-in and real, chucking the pomp of super heroics to show you the grimy drama under the hood. Don’t miss it.” —Alex Segura (Secret Identity)

“Taut pacing, seamless dialogue, and style in spades, A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts is more potent and peculiar than anything you’ve ever read.” —Shelly Bond (Editor, Bitter Root)

“An idiosyncratic, formally interesting, beautifully illustrated Molotov cocktail of a comic. Check it out.” —Curt Pires (Indigo Children)

"Mertz and Diotto expertly blend a story that asks what if Agatha Christie wrote the X-Men while listening to Minor Threat. Unsurprisingly, it's excellent." —Tyler Boss (What's the Furthest Place From Here?)

"Reading A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts makes me feel like a teenager sitting in a Borders who just picked a comic off the shelf and is discovering how much cooler the world is outside of my high school." —Kody Okamoto (KeepingTime)

“An intriguing, compelling mystery with a healthy dose of nostalgia for those like me who remember the '90s punk scene." —Amy Chu (Carmilla: The First Vampire)

“This book is the union of Astro City and Love and Rockets that I never knew I needed. A weird and weirdly trenchant riff on the superhero mythos that's worth an arm (and a leg).” —Van Jensen (Godfall)

“A fun new spin on the superhero genre for modern times [...]Cool factor off the charts.” —Isaac Goodhart (The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos)
