Top 10 Comics for New Readers
Hey everyone!
Due to popular demand (sort of) Jerry and I have compiled our top ten list(s) of comic books to check out for new or entry level readers! If you haven’t already, check out episode 4 (The Dude Abides) of SnarfTalk on iTunes, Stitcher, Buzzsprout, or any podcast platform! We discuss in detail our top ten lists and why we think they are great additions for anyone looking into the medium- we also have our very first special guest, Andy “The Dude” and he gives us his top ten list as well! I think it was our best episode yet and a big thank you to Andy for coming on the show- I think we have found a regular guest!
We have had several listeners ask for a written list of our top ten comics, so that they can check them out- I will also provide links to all of the books that are available on Amazon- if you are considering buying some of these books (which you should) please use the provided links and Amazon may through us some paltry table scraps which we can use to finance our burgeoning empire.
