Webcomics are on the internet and print comics are in print, but where do they meet together? Other than the average comic fans bedroom, the answer is the Library and this is what Unshelved is about.

Unshelved deals with the bad customers, the crazy ones and the staff. You have Dewey the lazy male librarian (also in charge of the young adult section and comics), Mel the manager, Tamara the Children’s librarian, Colleen the almost retired one, and Buddy the book beaver (a guy who legally changed his name and is always in costume). Other than Buddy the book beaver I have seen people like these at my library.

There are a few reasons I live this comic, first is the fact that I dont have to deal with the mindless questions these people do, which is good to pick up your spirits.

Second is the character interactions, the people seem real (as I said earlier I have met people like them) so I can believe in the situations which occur. The situations that occur are sometimes unbelieveable but more in the realm customers cant really be that bad rather than oh look a unicorn for no real reason (I have it on good authority that yes they can be that bad).

Lastly is the fact it reviews books. This is a minor thing but finding a good book is hard and I have generally liked the suggestions given. A brief outline of the plot is given as well as a suggested audience so you know if it is suitable for you or not. Here’s the review of World War Z as an example and they have a list at the bottom of all the books they have reviewed to make it easier for us the readers.

So Unshelved whether you are looking for a good webcomic or a good book its worth a look.
