gem2nikiToday is Free Comic Book Day! http://www.freecomicbookday.com
I got some free swags at SpaceCat Comic Shop in Bascom Ave and SLG Publishing Store on Market. I never bought any western comic before haha. But there was this issue called X-Men Forever Annual that was really pretty and caught my interest. Apparently it is in fact drawn by a Japanese artist Sana Takeda haha. So still not quite Western.... The rest of my free swags are American comics...
I still can't get used to the aesthetic. My biggest pet peeves is the coloring does not work with the lineart at all. And that's just a major turn off. Also the tiny bubbles that float in the picture...hmmm... Perhaps, I was raised with too much manga haha. Tho my cousin, when I was younger, collected a lot of American comic, and we did grew up watching X-men cartoon and Superman etc.. But I never actually read them. When I read it, I feel like I have no idea what they're talking about. Now comic strips...that's a different story. I've grew up with Garfield most of my childhood. Those are much simpler and easier to follow as opposed to X-men and stuff...
I'll just stick to manga...but perhaps try to read the free swags I got. (Tho i picked them out by aesthetic...)
