Hello faithful Comic Book Herald readers!

First of all, thank you to everyone who has helped me grow Comic Book Herald from a wee aimless blog talking about Quentin Tarantino’s misguided assessment of Green Lantern into a wee go-to source for reading order and comic book guides. In six plus years of running Comic Book Herald I’ve heard so much positive feedback and suggestions from readers I can’t thank even a fraction of you individually.
