Grab a single issue at random off the shelf and you're probably starting mid-story. With both Chew and Fables, I think I caught them mid-narrative the first time. Following from the beginning helps.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-62727103023557049722014-07-16T16:17:36.368-04:002014-07-16T16:17:36.368-04:00Part of Mock's affection has to do with the fa...Part of Mock's affection has to do with the fact that he has every issue - a series he's stuck with from Day One.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-29337574511156492672014-07-16T14:54:06.386-04:002014-07-16T14:54:06.386-04:00I am a fan of comics and graphic novels.
