Hello and welcome back to another edition of Previously on Comics! Kate here to catch you up on what you might have missed in the weeks leading up to ECCC. Let’s catch up together, shall we? I’ve been travelling the past couple weeks so I know I’m behind on this, but I was ecstatic to…
Knit Your Comics: A Pussyhat of Steel
I’ve been a big fan of the Supergirl TV show since it started. I’ve always been a Supers > Bats person, and few people embody the spirit of the Supers the way this show is allowed to. It’s been my weekly joy for two seasons now, although less so now that James and Kara aren’t…
Previously On Comics: Comics You Might Have Missed
Hello again! Kate here for this week’s Previously On Comics. It’s been A Week, to say the least, and as I’m getting on a plane in 36 hours, I’m going to keep this short and sweet and mostly focused on suggestions of things to read that you might have missed. Before we start, I have…
Previously on Comics: John Lewis’ March Sold Out On Amazon
Hello and welcome back to another edition of Previously On Comics! Please allow me to remind you how we started this week. That would be Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds being passionately kissed by the former Peter Parker, Andrew Garfield, during the Golden Globes on Sunday. I just want to thank whoever did the seating arrangements…
Reading Art Speigelman’s Maus In 2017: A Roundtable
Maus by Art Spiegelman is one of those comics that’s brought up again and again, and not just by people within comics communities. August of 2016 was the 30th anniversary of the Pantheon collected edition of volume one, and 2017 will mark 25 years since it won the Pulitzer Prize. This Washington Post retrospective on…

WWAC Contributor’s Favourite Writing of 2016
I asked our contributors to tell me what their favourite piece by another WWAC writer was this year. They’ve picked articles that made an impact on them and on our readers and that, I think, stand among the best writing we published on the site this year. As our annual holiday break comes to a close, I’m…
WWAC’s Favorite Big Press Comics of 2016
Southern Cross Becky Cloonan (Writer and Cover Artist), Andy Belanger and Lee Loughridge (Artists) Image Comics Southern Cross looked like something I would not like. For all of my love of things beginning with Star (Wars, Trek, etc.), I’m actually pretty afraid of space. And space stories where scary stuff happens? Certainly too frightening. Wrong! This is…
Interview: Sequentials, a New “Comics” Journal
As part of Comics Academe, one of the things I want to do is to promote what’s happening in academia and comics studies–especially when what’s happening is something that is innovative, or challenges what academic “scholarship” can be. When I first heard about Sequentials, a new comics “journal” being put out by the incredible English…
Previously On Comics: Oh, comics.
Hello, Previously fans! Kate here with the final Previously on Comics of 2016. And this past week was a doozy, reminding us all that just being in comics is a questionable life choice. Sometimes you spend a morning away from social media for whatever reason–a late morning snooze, an early morning workout–and then you check…
Knit Your Comics: Harley Quinn Fingerless Gloves
It’s that time of year when holidays are happening, and as a knitter, I love the holidays as an excuse to knit presents for my friends. This project is one that was essentially commissioned by WWAC staff, and all around badass, Wendy Browne.
The WWAC Ethical Holiday Shopping Guide
This holiday season, we at WWAC are focusing on handmade/homemade gifts and gifts from indie companies, sellers, or even non-indies that support ethical labor practices. I asked some of our contributors to share their recommendations. Please share your own recommendations, charities, and other means to ethical gift-giving in the comments! – Ginnis
