The last Gaysi zine I reviewed was All that We Want, a gorgeous, warm celebration of queer desire. Their newest zine, Normal, is a complete departure from that exploration of queer joy, and instead dives into all that keeps us from such experiences.

Doctor Who is Good, Actually, in “Praxeus”
This week’s Doctor Who, “Praxeus,” was the polar opposite of last week’s “Fugitive of the Judoon.” Pete McTighe and Chris Chibnall don’t seek to change all of history or all of Doctor Who. Instead, they deliver a damn good standalone story packed with mystery, action, romance, and an actual resolution.

The White Queen was noticeably missing from the last issue. In Marauders #7, it’s the Red Queen that’s absent, which is extremely disconcerting since the last time we saw her, she was drowning on the precipice of permanent death.

Star Wars Adventures #30 Will Please Young Readers & Fandom Nerds Alike
As a Star Wars fan, one thing I love about the franchise is that there is always more media to find and take in. That’s doubly true if you’re willing to wade into media meant for kids, which I am, because kids media can be super charming and I love it. That’s how I found…

Machina Delivers Suspense and Robots
Machina takes place in a near(ish) future, in which it has become increasingly clear that humans cannot stay on Earth longterm with any expectation of survival.

New Mutants #6: Boom, Bang, Boom
With New Mutants #6, the Dawn of X returns to Nebraska, where the young X-Men are in dire straits. The arrival of Boom Boom provides necessary relief, but even that isn’t enough to get Armor’s team home free.

X-Men #5: Lip Synch For Your Life
“It’s done.” Those are the first words of House of X #3, spoken by Cyclops after he’s assembled a team of X-Men for a critically important mission. X-Men #5 opens with a scene that doesn’t echo this moment but challenges it, showing the normally self-assured leader stricken by doubt. “What have I done?” Cyclops wants…
