The Nearness of You. Sixteen full-sized scans. It is possibly the best comic-format story ever written. Poignant and bittersweet. You don't need to know anything about Astro City or superhero comics in general; you don't even have to have any interest in them. Love and loss. I feel certain enough to say that anyone who reads it through and is not moved lacks a soul.
It is sad. And it is excellent. And I have something in my eyes. It won't come out.
Who am I kidding? I reread it and cried like a slapped infant. I need to start looking up Astro City.
