I wanted to be more than just a fan. I wanted to be a part of comics, but that’s not always easy. So while I still worked hard at penning my way into comics as a writer I also devoted my attention to a new goal. That everyone should love comics and I mean EVERYONE.
But it’s not always easy. Looking back on my introduction to comics I realize that it wasn’t exactly an easy one. Convoluted crossovers and multiple reboots are enough to intimidate and chase away new readers. One of my earliest comic experiences was walking into a comic shop and being presented with Avengers of X-men #1 and Red Hood & The Outlaws #1 both of which had me leaving more questions than enjoyment. What do you mean there was more than one Robin or that Cyclops killed Xavier?
I decided to use my platform and ThatComicGirl persona to help people love comics as much as I do. Between a Youtube channel and a dedicated blog, I decided to pursue comic reviews, think pieces and complete recommended reading lists to help readers find their way into the world of comics. At the end of the day, I just want to use my platform and the ThatComicGirl persona to help people love comics as much as I do because COMICS ARE FOR EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!
