Three Graphic Novels For The Newbie
Three graphic novels for the newbie, like myself… All of them are available on the Image Comics iPad app.
1. Saga: Power female & hunk fall in-love but are from different worlds. This mesmerizing series is narrated by their new bebe.
2. Alex + Ada: A bit like the movie, Her, lonely man falls in love with his robot.
3. Sex Criminals: Don’t be deterred by the title, it’s more like a modern romantic comedy. Great art makes it easy to fall in-love with these two:

Sometimes, nothing is more relaxing than an hour with my friendship bracelet kit (not joking). Colors are therapeutic.
