Eileen’s primary literary love is comic books, but she’s always on the lookout for her next literary adventure no matter what form it takes. She has a Bachelor’s in media studies, a Master’s in digital communication, a smattering of published short stories, and a seriously cute dog. Follow her on Bluesky.

Honesty may be the best policy, but it doesn’t generally make for very exciting reading. Many of today’s comics show the entertainment value in faking it until you make it (or at least make out)!
