I love Adam's comics online, so I was thrilled to see that he has a book of them coming out. We are all Adam in our own way, and I so enjoyed laughing with him in this compilation. A must-read for any 20something trying to find their way.

Adam Ellis makes me laugh.

It is a funny look at the inner most thoughts that so many people with any form of social anxiety feel.
It was very relatable in a self deprecating kind of way.
A fun and fast read.
Really enjoyed it.

I have been a fan of Adam Ellis's webtoon for a very long time. His comics are always funny and relatable and this graphic novel was no different. Fresh, funny and delightful, his work always makes puts a big smile on my face.

As someone who suffers with random bouts of anxiety, reading this was a joy. I loved the realistic but silly ways Adam has described dealing with varying mental ailments.

Super Chill is a lighthearted look at living with anxiety through a humorous larger than life lens. The art style is cute, but the artist isn’t afraid to experiment occasionally which I like. I think the slice of life comics in this collection work better than the ones that are meant to be just jokes because the rhythm doesn’t seem quite right on those. I’ll pribably check out some of his other work in the future.

Oftentimes the artwork was exemplary but I found the storytelling to be just middle of the road for the majority of the collection.

Thanks to Author/publisher for ARC of the book.

The book is not in kindle format and i think its better that way because it would not make any justice to the awesome art/illustrations.

A collection of human behavior a lot of us can connect with...general laziness, procrastination, what vacations really turn out to be are rightly captured. This book is an extremely quick read..30 mins or so but it for sure brings out laughs.

**Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this!**

This book is titled Super Chill: A Year of Living Anxiously by Adam Ellis. I'm a new fan of Mr. Ellis! This book was full of insights, and "I do that, too!" moments put out there in a hilarious way.

Sometimes it's anxiety, not wanting to do social things, and sometimes you just want the tacos more than the workout! I laughed a lot, I mean a lot! I want to read this one over again before it expires.

I have enjoyed Sarah's Scribbles, and this is in the a similar category but for guys. Enjoy!

I love this! I love Adam Ellis's cartoons online and I loved seeing a collection of them together. I think he's hilarious and his comics are very relatable. Thanks for the chance to check this out!

Adam Ellis is hilarious, I have seen his comics on social media and was excited to see that he had a book coming out, and I was not disappointed!

The comic sketches are easy to relate to and are absolutely hilarious at the same time. The book can be read in one sitting and you will not realize that time has passed while you are reading.

The artwork is cute and quirky and is perfectly suited to the stories that Adam is telling.

I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who is looking for a fun read with some truths about life sneaked in!

My full review appears on Weekend Notes. Thank you to the publishers for sharing this title. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It reminded me a little of The Oatmeal.

Adam Elllis never fails to make me laugh. I'll definitely recommend this one to our patrons and maybe some family members.

The art is beautiful, better than most web comics I've seen out there, but many of the single-page comics were... pointless. There was no punchline and they were not <b>that</b> funny, but overall I enjoyed this collection and it made me laugh several times!

I received a free ARC copy from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have been following Adam Tots via social media for a few year now I would say. So when I got approved for this ARC I was super stoked. I am sure glad I did. I love Adams comic. The majority of these were a major hit a few of them made me burst out laughing and I even had to share a few immediately with my husband, Autumn Leaves I am talking about you. Reading this book won't be a disappointed. His drawing is awesome, his dialogue is on point, a truly good comic. You won't go wrong!!!

This was a fun and relatable book based on Ellis's popular webcomic. Both new and current fans of Ellis's work will find something to enjoy here, and readers with no previous experience will need no introduction, as there are no strong characters or plot to introduce (the only main character is Adam, and he's a wonderful "every man" without complex pretenses or backstory to be shared).

My only complaint was that it was too short (as are most webcomic collections). I heartily look forward to Ellis's next book!

I really loved most of these comics (but I already knew I would, since I love Adam's Instagram account), but it felt like there were too few of them. Maybe this was all written and finished before he had more free time after leaving Buzzfeed, but 120 pages is scant. The content is great, but I zipped through it in about 20 minutes.

Still heartily recommended, especially for younger people who can so easily relate to Adam's sense of humor.

Attention readers with anxiety: this graphic novel was created for you!

Adam perfectly sums up what it's like to have both anxiety and depression in a time where it's very easy to lock yourself away from the rest of the world. I related way too much to this compilation of comics and HIGHLY recommend others take the half hour to read it. Oh, and can we talk about how incredible the art style is?!

If you've seen the comics of Adam Ellis before, you know exactly what you are getting into, and you love the ones he has posted before, you'll love this collection. If you don't know his work, they're incredibly relatable, slices of life that you can't help but to laugh at (even if it hits a little too close to home). He's been one of my favorite web comics to follow as he never disappoints and I'm glad to say this collection didn't disappoint, either (except maybe that the Adamorphs cover wasn't used).

Really good comic book! Very funny but a little strange sometimes. So I give 3.75 stars.
Thank Netgalley for the book

I have been a huge fan of Adam Ellis for quite some time now. I love his style of humor, and often find myself looking up more of his comics online. I was so excited when I seen this collection available on NetGalley, and I knew I simply had to review it! Let's just say that it did not disappoint! I always find his comics to be relatable, yet absolutely hilarious. I can't wait to read more from him, and I will definitely be picking up a few of these books to gift to my friends.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!
