Welcome to this month’s BOOM! Pubwatch, where I’ll be gushing about Wonder Pony, a new middle-grade comic that I loved, as well as the start of Seven Secrets #1, and the graphic memoir, Happiness Will Follow, which I have some mixed feelings about. In the news section there is some celebrating the Jenny Frison Cover…
BOOM! Pubwatch: July 2020
And we’re back! Sort of. Things are slowly starting to open up again where I am (though, personally, I am sticking close to home for a little bit longer) and that includes comic shops. I had missed having new releases to look forward to every Wednesday. This month for the Pubwatch I’ll be sharing my…
BOOM Pubwatch: May 2020
Not much has changed since March, the world has still been turned upside down by a global pandemic. Thankfully, I’ve still been able to keep working from home and everyone if my family is healthy (including my brand new baby niece Eva who made her debut a couple of weeks ago) but it’s still a…
BOOM Pubwatch: March 2020
At the start of this month, I was on vacation. Sitting poolside with a stack of reading material. I definitely wasn’t expecting that a week later I would be preparing to work from home and self-isolate. I was forced to stay at home for a few months last winter, and the memory of that still…
BOOM Pubwatch: February 2020
This month I really tried to spend some time catching up on a few series. There are so many great BOOM! comics out right now it’s easy to fall behind when I’m doing my reading for this Pubwatch. In particular, I spent a little extra time catching up on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and…
BOOM Pubwatch: January 2020
We did it! We survived 2019! It’s felt like a particularly long year last year, especially since I spent the majority of it recovering from my ankle injury. I’m not taking any chances this year! I’m planning on staying inside as much as possible and attempting to put a dent in the ever-growing pile of…
BOOM! Pubwatch: November 2019
Welcome to winter, comics fans! The snow (and ice) have already started up here in Canada so I’m getting ready to hibernate for the next five or six months. Basically I’m stockpiling books, comics, and snacks so I can leave my home as little as possible. I’ve started this process with not one, but two…
BOOM! Pubwatch: Halloween Edition!
Happy Halloween Week, comics lovers! This month while decorating my apartment for Halloween, I thought why not do something different and shine a light on some of the amazing BOOM! series that are perfect for this spooky season. Think of this as a holiday gift guide, but this time the holiday is all about ghosts,…
BOOM! Pubwatch: Welcome to Fall 2019
It’s fall! And you know what that means: Halloween candy, cozy scarves, sweaters, and spooky stories. And BOOM! is off to a great start as two of the featured comics this month are ideal fall reading. The arrival of fall also means New York Comic Con is just around the corner and I’ve highlighted some…
BOOM! Pubwatch: August 2019
Summer may be starting to wind down, but judging from their upcoming release schedule BOOM! is just getting started. This month was full of new comic announcements and increased buzz for previously announced series. In the News portion of this Pubwatch I’m sharing a couple of announcements, as well as some updates on Something Is…
BOOM! Pubwatch: July 2019
I don’t know about you but I have really been enjoying the summer so far. We’ve been pretty lucky weather-wise where I am, a few thunderstorms here and there but mostly warm and sunny. I’ve been trying to spend as much time as possible sitting outdoors, soaking up the sun and working my way through…
BOOM! Pubwatch: June 2019
This month BOOM! was busy announcing a number of new comics and there’s a little something for everyone. A little time travel, some murder mystery, and even something for Jim Henson fans. And though it may seem difficult to wait for all these new titles there are some great recommendations in the Featured Comics section…
