Read that here and please get the comic, it's beautiful both in art and story.\r\nSonia and I talked about geekery at first. A bit of X-Men, Man of Steel, and Batman v Superman pre-release. We then talked about gaming, online communities, friendships, and what it was like for her grow up as someone of Asian-descent in America.\r\nBeing part of a specific community is something we had in common even though we come from very different backgrounds. There are limitations, benefits, and a learning curve.\r\nWhere to Find Sonia Liao:\r\nFacebook, Twitter, DeviantArt, Instagram, Her Site\r\nCheck Out More Emet Comics related Content here!\r\nCheck Out More International Women's Month Content here!\r\n--\r\nLet us know what you think of the episode here.\r\n--\r\nOn Common Room we don’t have ads.
