Comic Day Countdown: Spell Checkers [Add a comment]

Posted in Comics.
Free Comic Book Day is coming up this Saturday, and I am celebrating by sharing some of my favorite comics this week!
Take a look at yesterday’s post on Night Zero.
Or Tuesday’s post on Demo.
Today, I take you into a magical world. That world being high school. Remember those really bitchy, popular girls that would try to take you down with their icy glares and advanced eye rolls? What if they had superpowers other than their blackmail on teachers and daddy’s credit card?
Then you get the girls of Spell Checkers.
This ain’t no Sabrina the Teenage Witch. The graphic novel reads like a wittier, current Mean Girls. And these girls are, indeed, mean. You’re rooting for the anti-hero, and you have a great time doing it.
But don’t worry boys, the writing and action is funny, fast paced, and cool enough to keep you hooked even if catty teenage girls aren’t your thing.
This book does have some swearing, smoking, and talk of sexual situations, so I wouldn’t recommend giving it to your lil sis. But anyone that is currently in or has ever been in high school will feel right at home.
You can buy it on Amazon or pick it up at your local comic store.
If you’re in the Portland area on Saturday, make sure you stop by Things From Another World on Sandy Blvd. from 4 to 7. Spell Checkers Author Jamie S. Rich and illustrator Joëlle Jones will be signing!
Where will I be on Free Comic Book Day? Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post where I let you know when and where you can find me, as well as what books I’ll be excited to buy!
