I work in a comic store, and I absolutely love comics! My taste runs more along the lines of manga and independents than superheroes, but I appreciate good art and good storytelling regardless of genre. Look for weekly posts about books that interest me, as well as first impressions and short reviews! I also reblog comic news/reviews/general info here. Enjoy, and feel free to ask me anything about comics!
