I have a soft spot for Adam's work, it's not the usual kind of stuff I tend read but I enjoy it nonetheless. This book is a collection of short comics Adam created over the course of a year; mostly about his daily life and are pretty funny and easily relatable. This book ain't nothing taxing but it did make me smile and being a grumpy, pessimistic person that means a lot!

Adam Ellis is delightful. And not just because he reminds me of one of my brothers. These shorts are sometimes longer than his web stuff, with word bubbles crossing panels and more continuity. Same art style, same awkward content. Definitely recommend if you like Allie Brosh or Phillippa Rice. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve been following Adam since his BuzzFeed days. I always look forward to his IG posts as he always makes me laugh. This is a compilation of those posted on IG previously, though some could have been new as I don’t recall reading them before.

Super Chill is a collection of short, witty comics chronicling a year in artist Adam Ellis's life. They're sharp, fun, and very relatable - I'm looking at you, Lil' Treat and Selfie.

It's a great medium to tackle a topic of depression, too. Ellis uses humor to introduce his diagnosis and therapy, which will hopefully destigmatize the topic and encourage readers to share their own experiences.

The art is fun and modern - Buzzfeed readers will recognize Ellis's work immediately. Since the book is pitched as a year in his life, I was expecting the comics to be a little more cohesive. They're enjoyable anyway, even if many of them seem to work best on their own.

I received a digital copy of Super Chill from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I've seen Adam Ellis' comics around on the internet and really enjoyed them, so I was very excited to read a whole book of his work. I wasn't disappointed and even laughed out loud a number of times. I found the comics very relatable as well as funny, and thought the author dealt very well with some potentially dark topics such as mental health problems. I finished the book in one go and was left with a smile on my face.

This is the perfect book to read after a long day at work or when you're feeling like you're struggling. The comics are so easy to relate to, making our existential dread fun (somehow). 100% recommended. I loved it.

Loved the honesty and the awesome art. Great sense of humor. Def not for kids. Lost a star for the profanity. After reading all about his anxieties my wife and I expected him to look weird and homely. HA! That just goes to show you... even the coolest of us have massive insecurities.

I'e been following Adam Ellis on Instagram for a while now and I LOVE his comics. Plus, he's a cat lover so you know that scores extra points with me. I've seen a few of these before, such as Pull Tab, New Beginnings, Grey Gardens, and Autumn Leaves but I still always enjoy his illustrations.

Usually graphic memoirs are either funny or have good art but not both. Luckily, Super Chill: A Year of Living Anxiously has both laugh-out-loud (but embarrassingly familiar) slices of life and clearly beautiful artwork.

What if your memory foam pillow starts whispering about the worst events of your life? Your DNA results come back 37% chicken nuggets? You have just discovered the 100% most efficient and effective method for clean dishes (that every 20-year-old has found before you)? Hint: it involves a large trash can and a quick visit to Amazon.

As a nerd from birth, I resemble many of the life moments captured here. Why didn’t I see the humor in them at the time? Then create a web series and eventually write a book about them? Ahhh, the familar feelings of envy and regret...

Seriously, these comics are both true and funny! Highly recommended to anyone with a funny bone and/or a life (see Super Chill: A Year of Living Anxiously is inspiring me to be funny—at least I hope so—okay maybe I’m overthinking this—it must also be inspiring me to live anxiously—life gives and it takes away) 5 stars!

Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for an advance copy.

Adam Ellis is a creator of comics and previously was an illustrator at Buzzfeed. Super Chill: A Year of Living Anxiously is his second book of comics and it chronicles a year in his life of his life. It is a quick read with nice artwork that will most surely put a smile on your face.

I hadn’t heard of Adam Ellis before or seen any of his webcomics but I enjoyed Super Chill. His comics are relatable and funny and there is a few quirky ones in the mix as well. The topics are wide-ranging from quitting Buzzfeed to finding a pull-off tab on your body to a trip to Japan.

In this book we learn that Adam’s food pyramid contains buttered popcorn jelly beans at the top and that memory foam pillows may taunt you unhappy events of your past. Ellis’ musings on depression are very relatable and I particularly liked the one where he chooses a new therapist. Another favorite of mine was the guide to crystals in which he explains how each one of 10 different types can help you. I think many of us could benefit from a milky quartz cluster because it keeps you from liking your ex’s facebook post at 3 AM!

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this advance reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

Fun illustrations and peppy, honest humor. As a follower of Adam Ellis on social media, I was not disappointed. Will appeal to comedy lovers and young adults.

As funny as the rest of his comics. It is relatable, anxious in a "normal" way, I love the way it is drawn.

YAS! A great collection of comics by Adam. I was super happy to see that a lot of the comics in this book were content new to me, still in his signature style that touches on a lot of fun and sometimes way too real topics. I really enjoyed reading this and can't wait to read more from him.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

OMG, I laughed so so much. And not just me, I also whatsapped my fiance with some of the comics and I dare to bet people have looked at him funnily given his reaction back to me. :P

I have read a few Adam Ellis comics, but only a few. So I was pretty dang excited to see a whole book of them. And boy, they are so good.

The comics are about a variety of things, from student loans (Nobody cares!), going to Japan (Gudetama and relating to that little egg dude), moms and their obsession with keeping gift paper intact, anxiety (really, don't eat that xanax bar), to cats (so many cats) and self-esteem. But there are tons more. Most are hilarious, but some made me feel a bit sad (even if I also laughed a few times, which made me unsure if I should laugh). One of my favourites, and maybe I should bring that to my dentist the next time, was the dentist comic. Yes, if you hack and saw so much in my mouth of course I will bleed! Dang it!

I just loved seeing Dami Lee in them as well. She is another artist that I follow and read comics of, and it was so fun to go: OMG, is that Dami? It must be! The pink shirt, the egg, the hair! Nice!

The art? Well, I already knew his art, but it was fabulous to see it again. I just adore how he does backgrounds (so many details).

All in all, I hope Adam Ellis will make more art/comics. I would definitely recommend this book if you want to laugh your butt off.

Adam Ellis is no stranger to internet fame. He's come out with a fantastic new comics collection called Super Chill, based on autobiographical comics over a year in his life after he left his job as an illustrator at Buzzfeed. He is able to balance hilarious comics about collecting comics with heavier subjects, like Season Affective Disorder, self-esteem, and obsessions. 

Super Chill is super enjoyable and extremely funny. I don't feel like there was a single weak comic in this whole collection. Remember that Adam Ellis does occasionally have a gross out factor in his comics, so if you're made queasy easily, I'd skip through this with care.

Super Chill is available from Andrews McMeel Publishing October 23rd.

Really enjoyed this smart, funny and self deprecating collection of comics looking at everything from social anxiety to seasonal affective disorder. Ellis' sense of humour veers from bizarre to dry but is always on point. Not a book that made me laugh out loud but definitely one that had me nodding in agreement. Highly recommend

Ellis’s comics deal with some pretty heavy topics, such as seasonal affective disorder and struggles with self esteem, while still being silly. SUPER CHILL manages to be bright and positive, making it both relatable and comforting. Definitely happy to have added it to my collection.

I'm a fan of Adam Ellis's webcomics and really enjoyed this collection of comics. It's funny and relevant and loved the whole collection. It's a great collection and one I could go back to time and time again.

Adam Ellis is an illustrator; he used to work for Buzzfeed until recently, where he decided to strike out on his own. If this book is any evidence to go by, then I have to say that Ellis made the right call here.
What first caught my attention to Super Chill, other than the artwork which immediately told me who was behind it, was the subtitle; A Year of Living Anxiously. I think anybody living with anxiety would immediately zoom in on that title, and it’s hard to blame us for that fact. It’s not every day you get to see a comic artist being that brutally honest about their life and their experiences – though thankfully it is becoming more common. I love that this sort of graphic novel is normalizing those conversations. Keep up the great work!
I’ve been aware of Adam Ellis for a while now, following him on social media and the like. But this is the first time I ever binge-read any of his comics. It was such a fun and enjoyable experience. While there are heavier discussions being carried through the course of this book, Ellis manages to keep things light on the whole, a fact that is helped by the number of purely comical comics mixed in.
If you’re a fan of Adam Ellis then this would really be a great purchase for you – especially if you like the idea of being able to keep these on your shelf for a moment where you need a pick-me-up. It’d also make a great gift for a fan of his – or even somebody that you suspect would like the series. In short, yes I know you could get the comics online for free, but supporting the artist is a great way to ensure that they continue making the thing you’re enjoying.

I've enjoyed Ellis's comics since reading them on Buzzfeed and his sense of humor usually appeals to me. I was interested to see how much material for the book would be new, and now much I would already know from following his online presence. Luckily, most of the comics are new and all of them are enjoyable. Several are longer than what he typically put out online and it was great to see how he could carry the storytelling on for more panels.

A great collection of fun comics. I had read some comics by Adam Ellis online before reading this book, so I pretty much knew what I was in for. I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed this.

The appeal of Adam's comics is their candid approach to millennial culture and the somewhat dark humor that has grown alongside it, especially on the internet. It's this collective cloud of self-deprecating existential realizations, plus relatable anxiety anecdotes. Adam has developed a good pulse for picking out these jokes so that they're widely appealing to a certain public (if you read and enjoy Buzzfeed, you're probably within that public).

This book is a pretty quick read and it made me snort and chuckle multiple times. I only wished it were longer and had more content like his usual comics where it's four panels and the last one is the bit where you crack up, but only because that's how I've grown used to seeing his comics online. By the way, only a handful of the comics in this volume have been posted online before.

I've seen some criticism about Adam's art but I am not bothered by it at all. It is glossy and confident in a pop culture sort of way, and it communicates the intended message without interference. So it seems to me like it accomplishes its intended purpose. I also appreciate the thought he puts into the characters' outfits and hairstyles.

I would recommend this to someone looking for a quick chuckle, and to young people who enjoy dark internet humor.

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!

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

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).

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?!

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.

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 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!!!

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

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.

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!

**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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

I'm sure I've read some of the Buzzfeed comics before in the past, but I've yet to read any of the ones included in <i>Super Chill</i>. This was a good collection of stories no doubt inspired by Ellis's day-to-day, and on one level I can relate with regard to dealing with anxiety. Although my anxiety isn't quite the same, I feel that other readers will relate to Ellis. Life can be especially difficult, especially when you're hit with so many outside factors (even the smallest ones can cause an anxiety episode). Ellis doesn't try to offer a solution but instead a means of coping with the anxiety he feels.

The art style is quite unique and readers familiar with the Buzzfeed comics will definitely recognize Ellis's signature art. Overall I do recommend <i>Super Chill</i> to readers. 3.5 stars out of 5 stars

I'm a fan of Ellis' work for months and never forget to daily check his tumblr & IG so I'm familiar with his weirdness.

Super Chill delivers its premise, like, imagine yourself an anxious person, but chill.

Yeah, that.

I might want Adam to dig more, but this is chill too.

While some of this was hit and miss, I think as a non-fan of autobiographical blogging-style comics, this is by far one of the better ones. Some of the pages don't exactly nail the comical, but when he goes on a darker tangent – such as the hang-nail, or the trip to the dentist – he clearly proves a decent inventiveness; you're smirking as well as wincing at the same time. I think I liked it because the book is half inspired by life, half making for a gag – so it's a change from the full-on yuck fest, but it's by no means all "me, me, me". Well worth a look.

A humorous look at serious/and not so serious issues.
I highly recommend!
Very insightful and enjoyable!

A comic that acts like a slice of life, with all its comedy and wit. This is the kind of graphic novel I would use to introduce others to graphic novels.

Super Chill by Adam Ellis is blooming hilarious! It is super relatable, humourous, and a total delight.

Super Chill by Adam Ellis is a gag-filled comic loosely based on the author's real-life experience.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE WORK
Though the art is eye-catching and neat, the writing is quite good - the understated wryness and honesty of the narration and dialogue bring out the best in this book.

DISLIKES
I did not get a few of the jokes. However, that might be due to my own default joke setting.

WHO IS IT FOR
People familiar with Adam's work will love more-of-the-same Super Chill. Newcomers who like reading funny comics strips will fall in love with the work.

Many thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing for review copy.

I saw Adam Ellis comics couple of times. I like his art style. It was simple and funny. I enjoyed a lot.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and Andrews McMeel in exchange for an honest review.

Super Chill is another of those books that I found almost worryingly relatable. Especially the parts about Gudetama and diet cola.

I've always liked Adams art style and this book shows it off gorgeously.

I also laughed out loud several times which is definitely a good thing!

I really enjoyed Adam's comedic take on dealing with both anxiety and depression, I feel that it gives levity to something that more and more people deal with on a daily basis. Overall a funny collection of comics that was a delight to read.
