Five short stories from this comedy comic series, Meeting Comics. In this issue, we round up the end of the holidays of last year with a character in an occult bookstore realizing some of the books there may be realer than they thought, new assignments for friends, the story of a first kiss told over Thanksgiving, an uncomfortable family visit, and a childhood tale of a barbershop competition. Meeting Comics is always a quick, fun read with a lot of relatable content, but with a bit of magical realism that keeps it from becoming another boring slice-of-life comic. –Tricia Ramos (Meeting Comics, PO Box 436, Hillsborough, NC 27278, meetingcomics.com)
