Virtual Book Club: Strong Female Protagonist

Online N/A, Portland, OR, United States

https://join.skype.com/Ti23mIwRHviv Skype with comics friends! This week, let's talk about Strong Female Protagonist by Molly Ostertag. "SFP follows the adventures of a young middle-class American with super-strength, invincibility and an overwhelming sense of social injustice." A great read for those who like superheros, but wish they were a little less in the Marvel/DC zone. In this time of virtual access, we're switching over to some web comics! Click here to read the first 3 issues online. https://strongfemaleprotagonist.com/issue-1/page-0/ OR check if we have any of the physical volumes by emailing bookswpictures@gmail.com with STRONG FEMALE PROTAGONIST in the subject line and we'll work it out. NOTE: Orders may not arrive in time for book club! Join the chat at the skype link above!
