Mike’s comments from the I Read Comic Books group.

I'm currently reading through West Coast Avengers by Kelly Thompson and Stefano Caselli. Pretty solid run so far (I'm 4 issues in)!

Welcome Monica! That Annihilation stuff is some of my FAVORITE comics! Who's your favorite cosmic character from that run?

Hello Holly!! Those are some killer comics - though I've never read War Games, before. I think you'll really dig this group! Our BotM is the best (though I may be a bit biased haha)!

YES!!! This episode rocked me when I listened to it. I still feel like I struggle with some of the points they made in the episode, but it's advice like from this episode that helps me be a better comics fan every day.

It's such a rewarding experience to listen to my own show every once and a while and this episode is one of the great examples of that.

Welcome to the group, Thanh! Got a comic you've read recently that'd you'd recommend?

I am a bit behind on the show, but it has been a fantastic work of television. I've really been appreciating the experimental side of this show since the beginning!
