FROM PANEL TO PANEL • April 2018 Graphic Novel Releases To Look Out For

I love comics and graphic novels, so what do I do with that love? Well, I turn it into a new feature!

From Panel to Panel is a new feature where I talk about the awesome (and perhaps not-so awesome) comic books and graphic novels I’ve read. Basically, this will be me pushing them onto your laps. You’re welcome.

In April, you get graphic novels about avenging witches, a girl fight club against patriarchy, ending of series, reuniting teams like the Runaways gang, and many more. This month, you need to put these on your TBR list.

Get your shopping carts loaded with all these comics!
