Now kids, did I ever tell you the story of how Matt Wagner’s wonderful semi-autobiographical fantasy series changed my life? No? Well it really didn’t… well actually it did. Sort of. Better sit down, let me explain. No, no take the comfy chair. Here’s some nice hot tea. Don’t worry, I put a little spiced rum in it. Don’t tell mom. You see I’ve always had this theory that most of what makes up the kind of person you are can be gleaned from three things. Everything else will work itself out in the wash, but your core is really what music you listen to, what movies you watch, and most importantly, what books you read. Ridiculous? Kind of. Shallow? Most definitely. Like I said it’s a theory.
