Kate here for your weekly news round-up, but honestly, when I tried to figure out how to explain what happened this week, I felt like that Community GIF where Donald Glover’s character comes back to the apartment after having left to pick up pizza and found the room on fire. Like, what even happened?
Breaking In! With Immortal Hulk #20
Immortal Hulk was a series on my radar for some time. It’s an Eisner award nominee. Several sites name it as one of their top ongoing series. And it also features Al Ewing, a writer I love for his more intellectual, detailed approaches to scriptwriting. (Take a look at his Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor…
Green Lantern in 2020: Is There a Future Beyond the Thin Green Line?
Green Lantern has had a strange time in the first 20 years of the century. The ongoing comic series rose from a perennial B-list entry to DC’s pantheon of heroes to become the biggest franchise in their stable, thanks to a wildly popular and commercially successful decade-long run from writer Geoff Johns. This revamp, during…
Last Week’s Episode: A Global Pandemic By Any Other Name
As we head into the seventh month of the COVID-19 crisis the general vibe (in some countries at least) seems to be, “well this is just how we live now.” Deaths are rising, so are cases, but also in a strange and seemingly bad trend so are movie news, announcements, and film production. All of…
REVIEW: The Wayfarin’ Stranger Meets the Lady Pirate Is a Song in Pictures
Beautifully painted with soft, flowing watercolours, The Wayfarin’ Stranger Meets the Lady Pirate reads like a song for the eyes.
The History and Importance of SfSx: An Interview with Tina Horn
When I sat down to have this interview with Tina Horn, it immediately felt like just a free-flowing conversation. Tina was calling in from her new apartment in LA and we got to talk about the different communities that we’re both a part of right now in pandemic times, and the struggles of trying to…

REVIEW: G.I. Joe #7 Finds A Life Worth Living
It’s been nearly a year since I reviewed G.I. Joe #1; we should be right on the cusp of issue #12, where writer Paul Allor said he had the series mapped to in our interview. Instead, a pandemic hit on top of all the fascism, and we’re only halfway there.
REVIEW: Strange Skies Over East Berlin’s Terrors are Equally Human and Alien
Is there anything more terrifying than the truth? Strange Skies Over East Berlin, from Jeff Loveness, Lesandro Estherren, Patricio Delpeche, and Steve Wands, asks this question with every dread-inducing page.

REVIEW: The Tammy & Jinty Special 2020 Brings Back a Beloved British Heroine
Summer 2020 has been far from ideal, to put it mildly, so it comes as a true pleasure to see a tradition from British summer times past make a comeback: the children’s comic special. Published by Rebellion, the Tammy & Jinty Special 2020 continues the legacy of two beloved comic anthologies that enthralled generations of…
REVIEW: Gudetama: Adulting for the Lazy Is Not Entirely What It’s Cracked Up To Be
If one thing is for certain, I personally would not trust life advice from a famously lazy, talking egg. Although Gudetama seems like it never says much, it has a few words to say in Gudetama: Adulting for the Lazy. Gudetama has advice to give for all young adults struggling out there, from dealing with office…
