Favourite Sword and Laser Book Pick 2018
Reading printed editions vs digital
Comic Book Recommendations:
Fredrik says: I'm reading Captain Marvel, and @Veronica should do too!
Tamahome says: The first three volumes of Saga comics (from Image) are perfect.
Linnea says: I think there are several series' from Image Comics that you might like, Veronica. Saga, Rat Queens, Wicked + Divine, Descender, Bitch Planet and Lazarus. Maybe even Monstress and Fatale, though they venture a bit into the horror genre (not very scary, just a fyi).
KBTibbs says: Some have recommended Saga and Bitch Planet and those are some great comics in collected editions. I also think Monstress (which did VERY well at the Eisners this year) has a potential. As does Wicked and Divine. Neil Gaiman's Sandman is an omnipresent recommendation for a reason.
