What’s Up CHU? I realized I haven’t done “A Big Gems” article in a long time. My main man Ray hit me up and asked why I didn’t order in a while, and also a couple of people asked me if I stopped doing them. I didn’t stop I just got caught up with other stuff. I really love doing these kinds of articles because it gives me a chance to touch base with indie artists and studios and help them get some shine. We have got some sweet books on this months spotlight so If you want to preorder these books from your local LCS cutoff date is Dec 27th.

The Fresh Frequency by Julie (aka ½ of Villains In Pants Comics)
We welcome Julie from Villains in Pants Comics tonight.
Being a fan of comics has many different facets, and almost everyone has a slightly unique perspective on the medium.

I would submit that my desire to collect comics is an expression of my awe and gratitude for these conglomerations of story and art.
