REVIEW: Wit, Weirdness and Warped Ethics: Lakewood by Megan Giddings
Lena Johnson receives an invitation to take part in the Lakewood Project, which purports to be a series of research studies relating to mind, memory, personality and perception. There is something about the letter that makes her uncomfortable – but with paid expenses, housing and perhaps even life insurance, Lena finds the offer more enticing…

Previously on Comics: Manic Tricksy Scene Girls
Good morning. Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, and today is President’s Day. Those are holidays, I guess, not that they mean much, as apparently Presidents can literally incite violence and escape any kind of justice, these days. Speaking of gross misuses of legal power, a hearty “Fuck you” once again to Brandon Graham, who last week…
Bob Harras: An Oral History in Collage
Bob Harras was fired last year from his Editor in Chief role at DC. Unfortunately, this came with a passel of other job losses and under circumstances apparently unrelated to conduct.

Look, there’s not much to be happy about right now. But in a massively busy news week there was actually a fair bit of exciting, promising, and even cathartic news. So strap in, massage those out of practise cheek muscles and prepare to crack a smile as we dive in.
A Fistful of Comics: Crowdfunding Roundup, February ’21
It’s 2021 and WWAC’s own comics crowdfunding roundup is back, after an admittedly lengthy nap. Lockdown has gone on long enough that my interests are taking a decided turn for the introspective (we all have our escapisms), and Kickstarter this month was happy to provide.
Titan Comics PUBWATCH: February 2021
The shortest month is also the month full of treats, whether you prefer chocolates or good comics. This month, we wrap up the road trip in Life is Strange and take a look at another entry from the world of Cutting Edge, Cutting Edge: The Devil’s Mirror #1.
Modern Hauntings, Victorian Torments: Belle Vue by C. S. Alleyne
Claire Ryan has been evicted by her landlord, but chances to find an affordable alternative: a flat in a building that was once a Victorian asylum called Belle Vue. Her boyfriend Alex, a history student, is more than happy with this development as he can base his latest research project around the building’s heritage. In…
