First Second's Spring 2016 Graphic Novels

I'm always interested in seeing what First Second has next and this looks like another good batch of books. Especially the Science Comics! I can't wait to check those out. Here's the full list!
From First Second:

Something New, by Lucy Knisley --  Bustle says, "The graphic novel tackles the all-too-common wedding issues that go along with being a modern woman: feminism, expectations, getting knocked over the head with gender stereotypes, family drama, and overall wedding chaos and confusion."  We can't wait -- we're giant fans of Lucy's previous book,  Relish: My Life in the Kitchen, and her new book is even better.
