This week on The Bookshelf

This is something a little different from what I normally talk about.  This time, its Ralf the Destroyer. This is a strip by Scott Lincoln about an alien named Ralf who is sent to destroy Earth, but has a difficult time actually pushing the button.

I stumbled across the strip sometime last year and have been following it ever since. Just last week I picked up a mini-comic Scott had made, which serves as Ralf’s origin story. What makes this something new for me is that this was pretty much my first digitally downloaded comic. I was leery about buying a digital one instead of a hard copy as I didn’t know how it would be to read it.  It works well on my iPhone, and would probably better on a tablet. I’ll maybe be buying more digital copies of books, especially with the big reboot going on at Marvel and DC.  But more on that later…
