Happy Comic Book Day! As you may know, comics are one of the things that got me through the lockdowns. If you are interested in reading some today, here are my suggestions: "Saga" - I will never not recommend Saga. It is a wonderful story filled with lovable character and strong messages (+18, do NOT let children read this comic). "Birds of Prey: Dead of Winter" #104-108 - I cannot stress how much I love this arc. It's fast-paced, well-written, and the ending is perfect. "Mister Miracle" - This comic check all the boxes of why comics are great. Thoughtful writing, engaging characters, and beautiful artwork...the ending is just very unsatisfying. "Batgirl: The Darkest Reflection" - A story about healing, survivor's guilt, and reclaiming one's own life. It's an excellent story for anyone trying to cope with a past trauma. "Nightwing Vol. 1: Leaping Into the Light" - This is another example of a fantastic comic. The writing, the story, the art, and the message are all on point. And
