It happened. Sony has decided to get Marvel Studios to work their magic on the Spider-Man property. Will we get a repeat of the messy Amazing Spider-Man sequel? What are the plans for the web slinger let alone the shared universe Sony wants to create? WHAT’S GOING ON? These were the questions occupying our minds…
Fifty Shades of Otome: A Mobile Market of Devotion or Defilement?
I can’t recall how I became interested in mobile otome games—I think it began with a game that was on sale on Steam. It renewed my interest in visual novels in general and eventually led me to the mobile market to further whet my palate. For those not aware, “otome gēmu” (pronounced “OH-TOE-MEH”) means “girl…
Mighty Marvel Monday: RETURN OF MONDAY!
I’m back! Hi! Did you miss me and my Marvel musings? Look, I love you all so much that I brought the alliteration back in my intro blurb. The things I do for you.
Comique: Your New Easy Reading Digital Art Comics App
Comique is a free app created by Sam Gwilym. It’s listed as having “in-app purchases” on the App Store, but don’t let that put you off, there’s no trickery to entice you into bulk-buying digital currency so you can expand your battle force. The App itself is just a platform. Though having written that just now,…
Hey Jude: Date Night With WWAC
It never seemed strange to me to have crushes on fictional people. After all, I would argue that the majority of people who fall in love are only falling in love with their idea of the other person anyway. Leaving behind my cynical views on relationships, I know that Osaki Nana and I were meant…

Gotham Academy #4 Becky Cloonan & Brenden Fletcher (W), Karl Kerschl (A), Karl Kerschl (cover) DC Comics January 28, 2015 Spoilers Ahead!
On Make-up and Femininity: WWAC Talks Make-Up
Make-up seems pretty quotidian, but it is a loaded sociocultural issue especially when you feel like it’s something you have to do to be female enough. The WWAC folk got together to discuss how our relationships to make-up and how it’s never quite so easy as yay/nay. We hope our contemplations will spur your own, and…
Playing At Love By Starlight: Date Night With WWAC
Should Chiba Mamoru (aka Tuxedo Mask) ever find himself in Toronto, I would definitely be selfless enough to take him round the city for a fun night. We’d start with Trivia Night at the Drake Hotel–the quiz would be a fun icebreaker for both of us quiet introverts. We’re also both of us voracious readers,…

Valentine Vigilante: Date Night With WWAC
Just like the prologue in Romeo and Juliet, I will state from the beginning that the relationship between myself and Batman is a doomed love. He’s a rich Gothamite and I’m a Torontonian who isn’t rich. Long distance may work in some rare cases, but given that Batman is super intense and serious about his…
Multifarious: Shel Silverstein, Magnets, and Fauvists, or What the Hell is Art?
Last month, Vulture ran a piece where eight museum directors of such ivy-league museums as Art Institute of Chicago, the Guggenheim, etc. shared their favorite pieces of art. It got me thinking about how we come around to art, and as always, what the hell art is anyway. Obviously, we at WWAC have a pretty…
A Slice of Apple Pie: Date Night With WWAC
Maybe there’s a universe somewhere, let’s call it Earth-1127, where I’m myself but somehow single. If Loki fell into that universe in his Agent of Asgard incarnation, he would be my dream Valentine’s date. He could cook me a nice dinner and then [imagine a sexy fanfic, but with good grammar and spelling]. But if…
