Who are your favorite characters in comics and video games? Would you change something about their design if you could? When you invest your time, money, and emotions into a character, sometimes it’s difficult to understand creators’ choices to change (or not change) a character’s look. In the WWAC archives, there are no shortage of opinions,…
This Week in WWAC History: X-Men Lists
Not only do the WWAC staffers put together great essays, reviews, and comic industry news, they also compile lists on a variety of topics. Some of our more popular lists involve Red-Headed Superheroes (and Villains) and a list of Harley Quinn’s Best to Worst Outfits. This weekend we’ve combed the archives for a sample of lists on…
Two Takes on M3 Volume One: Beginnings
M3 Volume 1: Beginnings Erica Shultz (writer), Vincente Alcazar (artist) Vices Press, Digital Release September 24, 2014 Disclaimer: This review contains some spoilers. WWAC reviewed M3: Volume 1 with a review copy from Vices Press. Last summer was busy with WWACs Swords of Sorrow event coverage, but when Desiree and I were given an opportunity to review…
Mom’N’Pop Culture: Can Kids’ Art Be Inappropriate?
Can kid’s art be inappropriate? It’s a loaded question, and one I’ve found to be sometimes answered with sarcasm or dismissive sentiments such as “they’re just kids.” This means they’ll draw what they see, and if grown-ups consider it to contain inappropriate depictions of body parts or scenarios considered too adult for children to understand, it’s…
This Week in WWAC History: Friendship
As you could probably tell, the WWAC History theme of the past couple of weeks has centered around the release of Captain America: Civil War. Today is no different, but from the headline and articles below you may not be able to tell why. I’ll explain the connection. The movie trailer has me concerned about a…
This Week in WWAC History: Pre-Movie Release Thoughts on Marvel’s Civil War
Last December, when the Captain America: Civil War trailer premiered, our WWAC staffers pulled together two roundtables to discuss the comics vs. the expectations of the upcoming movie. With such varied opinions and the high and/or low hopes regarding the movie, it’ll be interesting to see how the opinions change and/or stay the same after…
This Week in WWAC History: Captain America
Love it or hate it Civil War is on the horizon. And what better way to prepare for Captain America on the big screen than to comb through the WWAC archives? We have comic reviews and opinions galore. Enjoy!
This Week in WWAC History: Geek Fashion
I’m not sure what it is about April that gets me excited about fashion. It could be the spring cleaning of closets in my house where I’m tossing out the old and ready to fill the empty spaces with the new. Since my wardrobe consists of a lot of fandom appreciation apparel, it’s only fitting that…
Mom’N’Pop Culture: Let’s Not Talk About Sex, Like Ever
In my family I would call myself the truthsayer. I don’t hold back, and more than often I tell my kids the truth when it comes to life. If they try to run off in a parking lot, I will quickly tell them that getting hit by a car means they die. If they die,…
This Week in WWAC History: Tough Ladies
There is no shortage of tough ladies in the WWAC Archives, whether they are fictional, staffers, or industry professionals. Last April, WWAC spotlighted a few and through these spotlights we hope these tough ladies will gain a few more fans. Enjoy!
This Week in WWAC History: Wonder Woman and Aquaman
The reviews are pouring in for Batman v Superman. I haven’t read any yet because spoilers. [Editor’s Note: You can read our spoiler free review here!] But, I have read these articles about Wonder Woman and Aquaman, and I can definitely recommend them as good reads from the WWAC archives. Enjoy!
Mom’N’Pop Culture: Girl Scouts Are More Than Just Cookies
I missed my usual Mom’N’Pop Culture post at the beginning of the month, and I’m going to blame the cookies. Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Dos-si-dos, and about four other varieties of cookies peddled by little girls wearing adorable, sometimes toothless smiles, and patch-covered vests, are to blame for every missed deadline over the past two months.
