Somewhat relevant to the theme, but not limited to this month, I made a rash decision on New Year's that I would recommend a comic every day to people. I am focused on comics that I think would be work as somebody's introduction to comics. Though I'd of course be happy if a comic fan found something new or a lapsed reader found their way back. Sometimes I pick something arbitrary, and sometimes tie the recommendation into a movie release or holiday. The statuses are public, so anybody can see them. I include images pulled off a google image search, and every day update my Facebook cover photo to match the day's comic. So flipping through my cover photos is a quick way to see the choices (though it took me a few days to decide on this approach). My goal is to come up with 365 recommendations for the year. Here is an example post. www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10105367842991447&id=3620587&pnref=story |

Here's the complete list of comics I recommend in March. Each has a review findable on my Facebook page.
Some Wolverine comics to coincide with the Logan film. A Buffy recommendation for the series' 20th anniversary. Three for Pi Day (since pi is approximately 3), Iron Fist recommendations to go with the Netflix series, several Bernie Wrightson recommendations after his passing, and Ghost in the Shell to coincide with the new film's release. The other days were whatever great comic popped into my head to suggest.
