The first MKE Comicbook of 2015, at Anodyne Coffee, in Walker’s Point, started the year off with a bang! The evening featured a very engaged discussion of people’s favorite guest appearances, first appearances, and cross-over issues and another great Jeopardy-style trivia contest put together by Don. What I loved about this evening is the same thing I’ve enjoyed in every meet-up we’ve had – the variety of books that get mentioned and the passion people have for comicbooks! It really is a fun evening!
Here are the books that got mentioned…
