This is the strange season that is not quite winter, but not quite yet spring – – warm one day, then a snowstorm the next. Comics, however, have no season – they’re good year round! This month, we catch up on the two series we looked at last month while adding in a new one:…
WWACommendations: Thieves, Modern Suburbia, The Vampire Librarian and More
Hey y’all, it’s Pisces season, AKA my season! I’m not big into astrology but I do know that Pisces are known for being dreamy and emotional. I don’t really think of myself as a dreamy type, but I am secretly pretty emotional, and one thing I get really emotional about is sharing stories. WWACommendations is…
Seven Seas Pubwatch March 2023
March is here! I’m so happy for Spring as my corner of the world has been battered down by a Winter Storm! I legit do not want to see snow or rain for a very, very long time but alas I know what to expect more of. This month sees the end of tear-jerker manga…
VIZ Pubwatch March 2023
Spring is in the air! Theoretically. It snowed last week where I live. But soon, the flowers will bloom, the weather will warm, the spring anime season will start. And until then, we’ve got VIZ news and new releases to entertain you! This month we’re covering new volumes of some series we’ve discussed before (including…
The Major’s Body final.FINAL Stand Together Complex
This body’s always suited me. No other will do. And— Don’t die. Survive, no matter what. *** I am a cisgender woman and when I wrote The Major’s Body I didn’t know it. How can that be? It’s simple. I knew that I was AFAB, and I knew that I was a woman. That’s what…
REVIEW: Queenie: Godmother of Harlem Brings an Untold Story to Life
When we think of gangsters and racketeers, we usually (unfairly, I might add) think of men. But historical women racketeers? We hear about them, annoying, far less frequently. As we know from art history, the lives of these women — and their legacies — can be far more interesting, intriguing, and unfortunately overlooked than their…
ECCC 2023: Authentic and Effective Social Media Marketing for Creators
As I stated in my coverage of the Building Your Own Themyscira panel, ECCC’s Pro Track of panels is a series of panels focused on the industry behind comics. I find topics like this fascinating, because comics don’t just magically appear out of thin air, they take work. It’s great to see a convention focusing hard…
ECCC 2023: Building Your Own Themyscira
One of the big focuses of this year’s Emerald City Comic Con is what’s called the Pro Track of panels; that is, panels about the industry around comics, about the business of making, promoting, or writing about them. One such panel is Building Your Own Themyscira, moderated by Jordan Dené Ellis, owner of Jordandené, a…
Con Diaries: A Mixed Finale at Toronto Comicon 2023
Despite a hectic work week looming, the lure of Toronto Comicon 2023 was too strong. The weather had been extremely difficult on Saturday, and we weren’t sure what it was going to be like on Sunday, but we decided it was worth making the trek to downtown again for another day of geeky joy.
Archie Comics Pubwatch: March 2023
Welcome to the Archie Comics Pubwatch for the month of March! I’m Lisa, reporting from a corner booth at Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe, and here’s this month’s news! In March’s Pubwatch, we link to some big interviews, preview some new covers, and more.
Con Diaries: Toronto Comicon 2023 vs Toronto Winter Weather
I have never waited so late to decide whether or not I’ll go to Toronto Comicon. My accreditation had come through a while ago, but I just wasn’t sure if my sister and I would be up to going to a convention. A lot has happened this year (and it’s only March) so did we…
