Fandom scans are (all but) done

I thought that Fandom, with their 40+ page counts per issue, would be a bear to scan and load. Surprisingly, I found it much easier than anticipated.

Issue #5 was officially a Synapse Comics publication, so I need to consult withContinue reading “Fandom scans are (all but) done”
