Calling For Comics

Welcome to Episode 2! This episode focuses on recommendation questions about comics and graphic novels (with bonus Books About Books and Books About Asia questions). ERGO, I brought on Ardo Omer, comics expert to the max, to be this week’s co-host. Ardo is a contributor at Panels and a senior writer at Women Write About Comics. She started out as a book blogger before expanding into writing about comics and television. When she’s not imagining her home of Toronto as Gotham 2.0, she’s obsessing over K-Pop and Jdramas. Follow her on Twitter @ArdoOmer. This episode is sponsored by Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta and Penguin Random House Audiobooks.
