At least once a month, we vote on a graphic novel or trade paperback to read. Then we get together to discuss. It's just like a book club, but with comics! From time to time, we'll also have other comic-related events to attend - movies, conventions, and anything else you can think of that might appeal to fans of sequential art. If you're on Facebook, you can join in the group discussion here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/NYCComicsAndGraphicNovels/
