Celebrate National Comic Book Day

Later this month, on the 25th, is National Comic Book Day! How long has it been since you read a comic book? A week? A year? Decades? Maybe even… never? Well, however long it has been, why not take advantage of the upcoming holiday to pick up a great story or two?

There are a number of places that you can pick up comics in the area. One of the closest is the W. Dale Clark Library, not too far from us here at Spaces Apartments. If you find something you really love there and just have to own, or if you want a wider selection, or if you want some great recommendations from someone who knows comics really well, it might be worth it to head over to Legend Comics & Coffee or Comic City.

Not sure where to start reading? Well, we’ve got some recommendations for a variety of great stories:
