Queercents Weekly Roundup: Happy Free Comic Book Day!
I’m leading my nerdiness show and admitting it: I’m a huge comic book geek. I read comic books and watch all the superhero movies (even the lousy Fantastic Four ones). Which means that free comic book day is one of the best days of the year, especially since I haven’t bought a comic book since my age hit double digits. For now, Happy May and here’s this week’s roundup.
