Author: Mathias DeRider

My name is Mathias DeRider, and I've been writing about comics since 2012 for my website, Review Or Die. I work with GeekMom contributor and partner K. Tilden Frost, and I'm here to discuss nerd things from the perspective of an autistic parent of our autistic kids. If you like my stuff, take a look at my Patreon - it helps me get stuff out faster and better. It also gives you previews of articles like these, and the ability to vote on what future articles come out next. http://www.patreon.com/RealReviewOrDie
