\*\*\*UPDATE! Your humble hosts are traveling a lot in September, so we are going to take a month off. See you in October! **Comics & Conversation** is a relaxed meetup with dedicated time to read comics, followed by time to hear from those in the industry, and socialize with other fans. Bring whatever you’re currently reading, or finally crack open something that’s been sitting in your backlog. After reading, we’ll have optional group activities like pitching a favorite recent series or comic, casual group discussions, and occasional book swaps and special guests. There’s no pressure to speak, perform, or know everything, just hang out and enjoy comics with other people who are into them. Before the meetup, feel free to stop by our partner shop right across the street, **Action City Comics**, to grab something new to read or browse their excellent selection.

New York Public Library Best Comics for Adults 2025/ A Washington Post Best Graphic Novel of 2025 / 2026 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards WINNER Best U.S. Edition of International Material / Harvey Award for Best International Book 2026 NOMINEE "The night does not belong to us. She harbors her own mysteries." Nocturnos delves into the ethereal world of the night, when the mundane vibes of the day cede to a mysterious atmosphere in which anything seems possible. In the twilight hours, the darkness feels vast and untamable, the dead can intrude upon the land of the living, and the distance between imagination and reality seems closer than ever. Haunting narration connects a series of vignettes that capture glimpses of people's lives as they navigate the nighttime. A traumatic collision while driving down a dimly lit road; a bedtime story that blurs the bounds of the imaginary, a walk through the woods that leads to strange symbols; this nighttime tour encompasses lush forests, dreamscapes, and the shadowy corners of private rooms. Along the way, these stories question the truths veiled in dreams, the nature of fear and loneliness, and the unknowable aura of the nocturnal world. In Nocturnos, her most masterful work to date, Spanish comics artist Laura Pérez explores the magic and melancholy we encounter when dusk descends. **Check out our sister groups!** * [Brooklyn Movie Club](https://www.meetup.com/brooklynmovieclub/) * [Williamsburg Book Club](https://www.meetup.com/williamsburg-book-club/)
