This week’s question of the week:

“So my question to you after reading your site.

If someone had access to nearly all marvel and dc comics, back to even the Timely era of Marvel. Where would you begin reading?

Thank you.” [Read more…] about Question of the Week: If You Could Read All the Comics, Where Would You Start?
