What we’re about
Do you want to explore different worlds crafted by different writers, artists, and colorists as you meet new people from the Capital region? Maybe you already read comics and want to discuss them with others.
This group is a monthly meeting where we select two trade paperbacks to read. Trades typically contain 5 to 6 comics, 100 to 120 pages. Hopefully, two trades can provide enough material to sustain a fun conversation and introduce us to a new series. The comics will be randomly selected. We'll write our picks on a piece of paper, or a technological equivalent, and select two trades to read. The following month, the third Wednesday, we'll meet to chat, eat snacks, and select the next trades. Trades and graphic novels will be the formats because they cost $10 to $15. No hard covers; they tend to cost $50 or more.
We will meet at venues around the capital region. Bard and Baker in Troy and Fortress of Gaming in Albany. The latter of which is a sister building of Zombie Planet, a dope comic book store on Central Avenue. (It introduced me to Invincible and Spawn)
So, do you want to explore new comics, chat with new friends, and eat snacks in cool and safe surroundings?
