Mar. 6, 2017 will be the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Spirit creator Will Eisner. That week is now annually celebrated as Will Eisner week, and a few major cities have events. I think it would be appropriate to read something by him to discuss, even if it's just a couple of Spirit short stories, but we could do one of Will's later works as well. Any suggestions?

I really thought Conan 2 was Roy's Conan, not Howard's, but that was a huge improvement. My biggest problem with Conan 1 was that he was a slave for so many years. Howard's Conan became Conan by being free. Such slavery would have domesticated him, and Howard's Conan would have escaped and killed his captors or die trying. I'm short on time.

After doing some research and looking into what books these days are labeled as "good" to "better", and "best", I was recommended this series by Tom King and Gabriel Hernandez Walta called The Vision . Highly recommended from Dave at Dr. Volt's comics connection (our new sponsor Yay!), he says the book just keeps coming back up and selling.  As much as I love the classics, I think it's wise to balance our book club of what's currently considered a "great read" so we can parallel the influential origins and compare thoughts on why or why not. Our opinions on Vision may bring a bunch of facts to light as well about the character, etc. . . This story arc is 12 issues long so you'll need TPB 1 and 2 to complete the reading. To quote Chase Magnett of  Comicbook.com : " It is a story of incredible emotional depth and complexity. Its commentary on life in the suburbs, the struggles of raising a family, and what it means
