October 21 SLEEPLESS (2017)
BAH GAWD SHE’S CASHING IN!

Aeric and Malcolm discuss love, fantasy, and the concept of getting a good night’s sleep in SLEEPLESS by Sarah Vaughn and Leila del Duca! This romantasy tale from 2017 has it all - action, romance, mystery, and one of the most punchable characters in comics history!

In the kingdom of Harbeny, a conspiracy is afoot. Poppy – illegitimate daughter of the recently deceased king – and Cyrenic – her sworn protector – must uncover the truth behind a plot to usurp the throne before she’s forced into an endless slumber!

A huge THANK YOU to Certified Good Brother™ “Queen” Quinn for giving us the opportunity to read this comic. It’s been a longtime coming for Malcolm and we loved getting to read it!
