A perfect mix of emotions, feelings, tiny and big stories, weirdness, intellect, and beautiful art! Windmills: Bearings is a perfect graphic novel to read, reflect on, talk about, re-read, and share to the world! Josel Nicolas is a treasure to the comics universe! — Manix Abrera, Kiko Machine Windmills embodies both courage and beauty, reminding me of how fortunate I am to live in a time where such creations exist. It is brutally honest and remarkably intelligent—a literary gem that komiks fans and book lovers should certainly include in their libraries. — Bong Redila, Melag Josel Nicolas’s Windmills possesses that particular and unenviable quality of being modern—that is to say, of being undoubtedly and unapologetically art. It is medium-specific not only in that it interrogates the form and demonstrates the plasticity of the panel; it is so in that it records and divulges the process of its own making. And its making goes beyond holding the pen and committing ink to paper—actions Josel agonizes over in detail—but all the living the writing and drawing are inextricable from, which, well, Josel also agonizes over. If his portrayal of the material conditions of komix creation appears overwhelming most of the time, that’s because they are. This book bears as much as it bares—and holy shit, it bares a lot. I love it that it does. — Angelo V. Suarez
