In this week’s Katy Keene, “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted,” good intentions backfire big time on almost everyone, and Bernadette Peters shows up to be fabulous.
Wolverine #1: Who Wants to Read an X-Men War on Drugs Comic?
The first thing you should know about Wolverine #1 is that it costs $7.99. That actually ends up being quite good value for a comic that includes 70 pages of story. Actually, it’s not really one story, it’s two and, sadly, neither feel particularly worth the cover price. HOWEVER there is a big reveal here…
February AfterShock Pubwatch
Welcome to WWAC’s February PubWatch coverage for AfterShock Comics! This February has brought us the launches of a few new AfterShock books, the endings of some others, and the announcement of even more titles!
A Knives Out Sequel Shouldn’t Prioritize Benoit Blanc
Knives Out was easily my favorite movie I saw in 2019. I’m a sucker for a good mystery, lavish set design, and biting social commentary, particularly when it plays with form as much as Knives Out does. I saw it twice, the first time hooked by the premise and carried along on exhilaration, the second…
The Witch and the Bull: Moonsia on Her Travels and Creating Comics for WEBTOON
Creating webcomics has seen a huge rise in recent years, allowing creators to self-publish in a much easier manner and letting readers have almost instant access to new updates. Original comics can be shared in a far reaching format, and that’s exactly what comic creator Jennifer Chuu — aka Moonsia — has been able to…
New Mutants #7: FIGHT!
Roberto da Costa’s space race concludes in New Mutants #7, and the universe may never be the same. In the book’s final issue from Jonathan Hickman and Rod Reis, the New Mutants reach the end of their interplanetary road trip to Chandilar.
Marauders #8: Casualties of Peace
Since issue #6, Kate Pryde has been afloat in the ocean surrounding Madripoor and I have diligently refused to believe that her death could possibly be real, despite Russell Dauterman’s cover reveal for issue #11. Marauders #8 rips away my hope and tears me apart with the raw emotions of the most powerful mutants unleashing…
Previously on Comics: The Evil is Defeated
Hello again! Kate here, and let’s be honest, there’s only one headline that people have been talking about this week–the exit of Dan Didio from DC Comics. As first reported by Comicbook.com, Dan Didio was fired this week, and the rumors seem to confirm what people have been saying for years–that he made editorial a…
The Unbelievable Louis Skye on Her New Fave: Gwenpool
In our first Four-Color Fave of the new year, Louis Skye gets to talk about Gwenpool, a character whom she’s only just recently met, but has clearly fallen in love with. And really, what’s not to love about a character that gets to live out our fandom dreams by becoming a part of the world…
Cover Reveal: Marguerite Sauvage’s Tammy & Jinty Special!
Tammy and Jinty are two pioneering British comics for girls — originally published in the 1970s and 80s, they produced girl-centric stories as varied as Bella at the Bar (about a schoolgirl’s love of gymnastics) and The Land of No Tears (a glimpse of a future where emotions are forbidden). Following the success of the…
The ABC Murders Are Batman
Powered by the will of a promise he’s made to those he’s lost, a man reinvents himself as a detective, and a famous one at that. Upon a chance acquaintance with this detective, a man for whom too many excuses have been made pushes himself a step further, becoming a deranged killer with an overwhelming…
