Empty Words: Anniversary Edition

Empty Words is a graphic novel about a difficult relationship between two people brought together by a nursing home, set in Toronto's Queen Street West neighbourhood. It was the author's debut long-form comic, originally collected for print in 2009.

This new Anniversary Edition features a new cover illustration, an updated forward by the author, and never-before-scene alternate pages and concept art.

Deciding to put a loved one into a nursing home is a difficult decision to make... Rivers shows his readers the impact of that decision.
