Riverdale, the strange new Archie-comics-meets-Twin-Peaks show debuts tonight on The CW at 9 PM. And lifetime Archie-fan Laura Harcourt, will be live tweeting it for us at @womenonocomics! While Archie has been busily rebooting their classic comics for a YA, romance-loving readership, they’ve also been working with the CW to develop this live action drama, which bears little…
Movies That Moved Me In 2016
I’m not particularly interested in Best Of lists. After the third list it gets stale and instead of discussing art that moved us, the discourse instead seems to focus on who wrote the best list, what rank the obviously good things appeared in. So this year I asked our writers to tell me about the…
Craft Your Comics: Wonder Woman Clothespin Ornaments
Ornaments have always been a big part of my family’s Christmas traditions: my brother, sister, and I each have plastic tubs full of the ornaments we’ve been gifted over the years, and my mother has been hand-making ornaments for us and for friends and family for as long as I can remember.

WWAC at NYCC: An Evening With Cas Anvar
If you follow me at all on social media, you might have picked up that I am somewhat fond of SyFy’s The Expanse. That @ExpanseSyfy panel was almost perfect happiness for me. S2 can't come soon enough! — Laura Harcourt (@blueofthebay) October 8, 2016 (Just a li’l.) So when an opportunity to chat with Cas Anvar, the…
Supergirl is Up, Up, and Away on the CW
Last night saw the Season 2 premiere of Supergirl, now on the CW. And while no one expected the sophomore season on a smaller network to match the show’s numbers during its tenure on CBS, the fact is Supergirl blew us all away, delivering the most-watched show during its time period for the CW in nearly…

3 Fictional Characters That Describe Me: The WWAC Edition
As self-identified geek girls, lovers of pop culture, and general all-around fangurls, we couldn’t resist jumping on the #threecharactersthatdescribeme challenge.
Supergirl’s White Kryptonite
There aren’t many shows I really love these days. For every Jane the Virgin or Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, there seems to be a corresponding amount of hard-boiled police procedurals headlined by square-jawed and serious men. Still, it’s not a leap to say that I love Supergirl.
Bombshells and Broken Backs
I don’t read a lot of single issues anymore. On a grad student budget, for both time and cash, it makes more sense to just pick up trades and catch up on series I enjoy when I can. For no other series is that more true than for DC’s Bombshells, the Marguerite Bennett and Sauvage-led weekly series.
Roundtable: The WWAC Warriors Talk Ms. Marvel’s Patriotic Pose
You know us as the WWAC Warriors: everyday athletes who love to run, swim, lift weights, walk, train, and fight. We like to talk about fight choreography, realistic vs. impossible poses, and what disciplines our favorite characters embrace. Usually, that discussion is behind the scenes, but today, we wanted to share our thoughts on a recent…
