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. Some people just love stories and read their comics while eating Cheetos leaving glops of orange crumbs all over the cover.
