Sonia Liao: Geekery, Art, + Asian American Life

Sonia Liao is the wonderful artist behind Helena Rose which Debbie and I reviewed a few months ago. Read that here and please get the comic, it's beautiful both in art and story.

Sonia 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.

Being 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.
