Hellions is one of those great comics where it’s easy to see talented creators levelling up in real time, and gosh, it’s fascinating.
REVIEW: Wolverine #10 Makes The Hard Sell
Wolverine, as a book, is very easy to dismiss, and for good reason! This volume, however, is quietly chugging along, doing some of the same heavy lifting as X-Force in terms of how it handles questions of masculinity.

Our monthly Patron-exclusive essay series continues. You can read all of these incredible analyses for as little as a dollar a month on our Patreon.

Good morning! Rush Limbaugh died last week. Rot in hell! Also, eat shit, Brandon.

Good morning. Have you had enough water? If you’re a coffee drinker, it’s a good idea to chase your coffee with some water. You’ll still get the caffeine effect but as it wears off you won’t be so dehydrated, and you’ll function better through the day. This goes for other forms of caffeine as well….
Previously On Comics: Exhausting
Good morning! Welcome to the third week of January 2021, and let’s hope this one is a touch less exhausting than the first two have been.
