Get to Know Our Staff: Part III

Part three is here! This time we'll be getting to know Mercedes. 

Cover of Attack on Titan Book 1
1) Are you reading anything right now? If not, what are you watching?I am currently reading Saga, Attack on Titan, and various independent DC and Marvel books. I'm not reading anything consistently, just enjoying catching up on some side stories. 

 2) What do you like/not like most about it?
I enjoy the variety, and the unique stories that come out. I'm a huge fan of the ongoing AOT manga and each chapter rips my heart out just a little more. And Saga's story telling goes beyond the average comic...

3) What is the first comic you remember reading?
The first comic I picked up was a manga called Hana Kimi for You in Full Blossom. I found it in my school library in grade 9 and it was never completely there because kids would check it out, but I tried to read the entire set. I didn't get to finish it until grade 11 because I changed schools and couldn't remember the name! 

4) Tell me about your favourite ongoing comic. Why is it your favourite?
Attack on Titan is my favourite manga to date. It packs a punch, than it throws you into a world where there is no escape. Despite the terror and unimaginable threat of the Titans it is a very human story, and the conflict and development of the characters is one that inspires me to become stronger and just as badass. 

5) Do you have a favourite artist? If so, who is it and why have you chosen them?
I do not have a favourite artist. I prefer reading stories and even if the art isn't perfect the story is the most important part to me. That being said I do like certain art styles over others, but art has very little bearing on my enjoyment of a story. Although I will mention that the artist for The Darkness series certainly has a talent that I particularly enjoy.
