Hey Everyone, I'm back after a little bit of a hiatus. I'm excited to share my weekly comic and collection picks. I may go a little bigger today and I'll do some bonus holiday gift picks that are just a bit more than my under $5 and under $20 normal price ranges if you're feeling the holiday spirit.
