It’s been a minute, but the new Now has finally arrived!  This lucky thirteenth issue runs the gamut, bringing readers comics from France, Spain, New Zealand, Australia and, of course, the U.S. of A. representing a diverse and far ranging take on the form: from the 24 pages of abstract comics from Cynthia Alphonso to the classic one-page Paul-Schrader-driven gag comics from Nathan Gelgud; from Caitlin Skaalrud's lyrical and sensually drawn pæan to the creative life, “How to Make Comics,” to Stacy Gougoulis’s cooly rational and tightly drawn inspection of the thin walls separating life and death; from Emil Friis Ernst’s Apollonian techno-managerial metaphysics to Ross Murray’s Dionysian family-dynamic disfunction;  a couple signature quickies from Roman Muradov and Steven Weissman, showcasing their pithy wit to Kayla E’s full-on, 1990s-Chris-Ware meta-comics tackling despair with equal doses of rigorous deconstruction and slapstick humor.    In short:  another great issue! Kudos to Eric Reynolds for keeping the torch held high.
