Then, catch me signing at The Comic Bug on 7/22 & Pulp Fiction Culver City on 7/25! I frequented both of these stores during my college internship, so it feels extra special to return with my own comic in-hand! See you there!

To anyone reading this - we are ACTIVELY SEEKING someone to cover indie comics as a regular beat...but everyone is making 15 minute videos now and it's hard to get them to put down the camera. I get that we need both platforms. Anyway who wants to write about comics, DM me.
