    Are you a comics person? If you haven’t read the graphic novel Dreamer: Bad Dream by Nicole Maines & Rye Hickman, I highly recommend it.

  3. Whoa I just, after years of struggling to read due to a suspicion of having ADHD, gotten started on books and the mention of comics makes me want to get into them as well. Is there a thread somewhere to ask for recommendations?

    Comics are a fantastic, criminally underrated (at least here in the states) medium. Love to see people show interest in it.

    But also. As much as I love cape shit and have affection for schlock (in comics, film, and music alike). I do hope people reading comics aren’t limited themselves to mainly, like… Spider-Man & Batman & Invincible. That’s as sad to me as people who limit their movie time to Marvel Studios, etc etc.

    My personal favorite is Jaime Hernandez. But, all sorts of other writers and/or artists worth looking to, like Michael DeForge, Zoe Thorogood, Katie Skelly, Julie Doucet, Adrian Tomine, Dan Clowes, Deniz Camp, Ram V, Kyoko Okazaki, Benji Nate, Caroline Cash, Emily Carroll, Junji Ito, Gilbert Hernandez, etc…

    I go through phases with being able to read anything and then not being able to focus, but there’s some great stuff coming out of the comic medium

    ADHD dyslexic. Noise cancelling ear buds, tinted glasses, and hand tracking took me from finishing 1 book through high school to a habbitual reader in my 30s.
