We’re hitting the books! This week is gonna be a little different from our usual nerdy discussions. For this episode, I’ll be flipping the script and sharing the comics that changed my life. I’m talking comic books that defined my childhood, manga that have shaped my adolescence, and graphic novels that made me observe the medium in a new way. So take a seat and open the page into what our special episode has got in store!
