Comic Cats #6: Daytripcat

Ahhhhh, Daytripper, I never get tired of you. This is, hands down, my favorite comic. It is, however, next to impossible to explain properly. The book follows one main character, and in each issue/chapter he dies at a different point in his life. This makes it sound horribly depressing, but Daytripper is the most uplifting and life-affirming book I've ever read. By looking at life through its possible endings, it manages to explore the meanings of love, life, and what a full life looks like, no matter how long you happen to get. Did I mention that it's also gorgeous? It's put out by Vertigo, you can read more about it here.
