I Read Comic Books discussion

What trade should we read together for our February Comic Book of the Month? Nominate your pick here!

This month's theme is “romance plot or sub-plot.”

Titles nominated this month must contain a romantic plot or sub-plot. If you have any questions or concerns, please send a message to mod Kait, who is happy to help. You can find the complete 2020 theme calendar here.

Remember:
- Manga nominations are welcome.
- Nominated titles must be TPB comics or original graphic novels, but not omnibuses.
- Only the first volume of a series may be nominated, unless the group has already read the previous volume(s) as a book of the month. To see what we've read, check out our group's bookshelf.
- Nominated titles cannot have the same writer as the previous month's BotM winner.
- Nominated titles must fit the month's theme. To see past and upcoming themes, check out the 2018 theme calendar, 2019 theme calendar, and 2020 theme calendar.
- Only one nomination per person.
- You can "second" a nomination in place of nominating a different book, but this will count as your nomination for the month. Seconded books will receive an additional chance of being selected in the randomization process.
- If a title you nominate wins BotM, please refrain from nominating another title for one month to give others a chance.

Oh man, I really liked issue 1, then totally forgot about this. Good pick!

Second for Alex + Ada.

I don't think of myself as a fan of "romance stories". But all of these nominations are good.

Sleepless was exceptional. I'm going to second that one.

These are all awesome picks!

I'd also support Alex + Ada for nomination.

I fourth Alex + Ada. It’s one of my favs and I wouldn’t mind rereading it.

Second for Sex Criminals

Mooncakes is also really charming and lovely! my nomination :)
