![]() There's something so charming about the slice of life genre when it comes to comics, it's one of my all time favorite genres and a go-to favorite for cold, rainy weekends. It's realistic enough to be relatable but still has that lovely sense of fantastical air about it that helps pull you out of your own day-to-day into a sense of nostalgia that you can't quite place. It taps into those sweet dreams of an exaggerated life you always wished you could have with characters that stick with their reader for a long while after the story concludes. This is why I was so instantly pulled into Spun Together when it popped up on my Lezhin comics app. There was a cutesy goofiness to it that was so charming you could almost see it happening in reality, just down the street from your own home in a quiet little corner with strangers you pass by at a coffee shop and pay little mind to. The colorful art style and genuine, well written cast, alongside a self-aware humor was instantly captivating and left me with the warm fuzzies that I find myself returning to time and again.

![]() Comics. My 2020 was filled with comics to help pass the time as I was stuck at home during the early months of the year. I found myself heavily ready all sorts of genres and styles of comics, manga, manhwa, and web-comics just to pass the time and it reinvigorated my love for storytelling through the medium of paneled art and big, loud speech bubbles. I've found a few series that have really captivated me and I have grown to love sharing these stories on TikTok where I get asked for comic recommendations a lot. While I am always excited to share them, I recently discovered a new one that really stuck with me and I thought it needed to be shared with anyone who will listen. Daniel's Very Personal Villain was like a breath of fresh air in an oversaturated superhero genre. I was introduced to it via an ad for Tapas.io on my Instagram and, having caught up on everything else, decided to give it a read. It had just been released as a new series a few days ago and had fifteen chapters available. I devoured them all in one sitting. Needless to say, I'm hooked. |
