In one of those things that makes me routinely go "Why can't we do that?" until I remember I hate everyone and wouldn't join a North American version of the French critics and writers-about-comics group that makes this summer reading list possible, the Association des Critiques et journalistes de Bande Dessinée has named its 20 indispensable books of summer 2010. Included are Urasawa's Pluto, the latest from well-known quantities like Manu Larcenet and Étienne Davodeau, Seth's rough-to-slip-into-a-beach-bag George Sprott and the new "why is Daddy scowling?" classic Footnotes In Gaza.
