Book of Interest: Comics Will Break Your Heart

The title for this book means so many different things to comic book fans such as your favorite book getting abruptly cancelled to a series going from good to bad making you immediately drop the book from your pull list.

As for this book, the description seems interesting with Miriam's family feeling duped after the grandfather made a bad deal years ago to sell his rights to a comic book he co-created. Now her family is dealing with financial problems and the last person she probably wants to meet is the grandson of the man who bought the rights to her grandfather's creation but I'm sure an interesting romance will somehow develop between them.

Yeah, this looks like it will be a fun read. I'm going to have to get this.

Book: Comics Will Break Your Heart by Faith Erin Hicks

Description:

Miriam's family should be rich. After all, her grandfather was the co-creator of smash-hit comics series The TomorrowMen. But he sold his rights to the series to his co-creator in the 1960s for practically nothing, and now that's what Miriam has: practically nothing. And practically nothing to look forward to either-how can she afford college when her family can barely keep a roof above their heads? As if she didn't have enough to worry about, Miriam's life gets much more complicated when a cute boy shows up in town . . . and turns out to be the grandson of the man who defrauded Miriam's grandfather, and heir to the TomorrowMen fortune.

In her endearing debut novel, cartoonist Faith Erin Hicks pens a sensitive and funny Romeo and Juliet tale about modern romance, geek royalty, and what it takes to heal the long-festering scars of the past (Spoiler Alert: love).
