Aurora Rose's Comic Update

Last June, I posted the cool YA comic about Aurora Rose, the teenage babysitter babe who protects her wards from nefarious monsters.  Well, since Aurora Rose's debut, the publisher, Arch Enemy Entertainment added several pages to Issue 1 & also Issue 2.  I've been following the comic and wanted to post the latest!  These Issues are sure to get you giddy as my gif.  Take the time to read, share and tweet this uber cool comic series, minions.
