Canadianisms With…We Stand On Guard #1
I’ve already reviewed the first issue of We Stand On Guard by Brian K Vaughan and Steve Skroce but part of the fun of a book set in Canada is picking out the Canadian references. I call these Canadianisms and in my duty as the official representative of Canadians here on WWAC, I thought I’d help…
We Stand On Guard #1 Review: Pass Me A Two-Four
I’m going to be honest with you. I’ve been excited for We Stand On Guard since the series was announced at the Image Expo six months ago. Described by the National Post as “like the War of 1812, but cooler”, Brian K Vaughan (American) and Steve Skroce (Canadian) have introduced us to a world 100 years into…
#FreePeterParker: Spidey is Trapped in a Timeloop — WWAC to the Rescue!
When Sony agreed to let Marvel Studios give us the next Spidey film, we had our hopes that we’d get something more, because really, after five Spider-Man movies, we’re tired of Peter Parker and had our hearts set on a fresh take on the webslinger. Alas, we’ve got a new Spider-Man and it’s, unsurprisingly, not Miles Morales and…
All Aboard! An Interview With The LAST MAN Creators
This is the last stop on the tour! I was fortunate enough to be asked to participate in the Last Man (The Stranger & The Royal Cup) blog tour and got the opportunity to submit interview questions to its creators: Bastien Vivès, Michaël Sanlaville, and Balak. The second book is out this month and it’s available for purchase. Here’s…
Looking for Clarity in Shadows: WWAC Takes a Turn at #CastingShadow
Shadow had heard too many people telling each other not to repress their feelings, to let their emotions out, let the pain go. Shadow thought there was a lot to be said for bottling up emotions. If you did it long enough and deep enough, he suspected, pretty soon you wouldn’t feel anything at all….
No Whitewashing Here: Lewis & Clark Mini’s Sacagawea Played By Native Actress
We’ve written A LOT about whitewashing in our media here on the site but this time, it won’t be another post about the erasure of people of colour. HBO is creating a Lewis and Clark miniseries and have cast Tanaya Beatty from the Da’naxda’xw First Nation in Canada to play Sacagawea (a Shoshone native woman). That’s already fantastic…
The Batgirl Trade Is Going To Have Some Changes!
Our lovely writer, Rachel Stevens, wrote a fantastic piece about the transphobic tropes in Batgirl #37 and Team Batgirl apologized without the typical “but”, “however”, and “if you were offended” non apologies we’re used to seeing in the industry. They followed that up with tweets that did not approve of the controversial Batgirl #40 variant cover on…
Young Adult Authors React To #McKinney
On Sunday, June 7th, a video went viral on Twitter of a McKinney, Texas police officer who pulled a gun on unarmed teenagers at a pool party. He then threw a 14 year old girl in a bathing suit onto the ground, face down and rested his knee on her back to restrain her. This girl —…
We Need To Talk About Iris West: The Problem With Secret Identities
I had no plans to write about the depiction of Iris West on The Flash because I thought my grumbling tweets were enough and that other people who were more moved by it could take it on. I didn’t think I needed to be the person because to be honest, the fun of the show…
The Thursday Book Beat: Fifty Shades Is Back Mofos
Christian Grey is Coming Yes! The S&M loving, business suit wearing, hot for the lip biting man we have all come to know in his real boy form as Jamie Dornan) is back. I guess you could say he wasn’t the dominant (har har) in the last round of storytelling, but that will soon change! We’re getting…
