Broken Frontier in Review 2/5

Here are the comics reviews from Broken Frontier from the last couple. I do this to keep up with my favorite comics site since I'm not regularly on twitter anymore.

SENSORY: LIFE ON THE SPECTRUM reviewed by Andy Oliver

This unique anthology started as a month long curating of autistic cartoonists on twitter by Bex Ollerton, one of my most fond memories of the site. It's great to see that labor of love live on from a major publisher.

Buy or order from your LCS or bookstore!
