3.0

Inspired by my fellow librarian, Meghan, I'm reading through all of the Best American Comic compilations 2006-present. I read the 2009 edition first, and to my surprise, I find my taste in comics aligns more with Harvey Pekar (guest editor here) than with Charles Burns (guest editor for 2009). Maybe I'm a wimp and a newbie, but I like accessible navel-gazing narratives. Found a lot of new artists who I immediately searched the library catalog for. Really like this method of finding new comics I like.
