My Comics Year: Fighting Cynicism

By | Dec 26, 2018 | Columns

(I wanted to title this “Learning to Love Comics in Spite of Themselves,” but that’s not exactly a punchy title.) At my day job, which happens to be a brick-and-mortar comic shop, we have a running inside joke: “You don’t love comics until you hate comics.” In the wake of two non-marriages from Marvel and […]
