The Boom Pubwatch is back baby! And things are booming in 2021 at this top publisher for creator-owned comics. (Sorry, I swear that’s the only time I’ll make that joke. I needed to get it out of my system.) Earlier this year Keanu Reeves’ BRZRKR broke industry records and continued to be a top-selling book….
Last Week’s Episode: Back to School 2021 Edition
School has started for most schools in the US now and I go back to teaching myself next week. Not gonna lie, we are all stressed to the max. This always used to be my favorite time of the year because it meant NEW SHOWS! With the change to mostly streaming, new show season can…

Last Week’s Episode: Here We Go Again
The recent resurgence of the Delta strain of COVID-19 is proof that some people needed a reminder that the world can’t just return back to the way things were done before.

Last Week’s Episode: Skipping the 2022 Golden Globes

Last Week’s Episode: The State of the Entertainment Union is Meh
Two big political events happened this week. President Biden gave a state of the union address covering his first 99 days in office.

Last Week’s Episode: Meme the Bern 2021
Welp, we made it folks. We’re now past January 20th and well into 2021. The first three Wednesdays of this year have been quite a doozy: a coup, a second impeachment, and an inauguration. I refuse to ask what next week will bring, because I’ve watched enough movies to know that will just invite more…
Best Small Press, Indies, & Webcomics of 2020!
This 2020 was tough for me as an indie comics reader because, well, there were no cons for me to pick up wares! No zinefests or the pleasure of perusing the indie racks at my local comic shop. Luckily, there were virtual fests and cons for me to find some good books, and Webtoons are…
Last Week’s Episode: Wonder Woman Comes to Roku
There’s more good news than bad news this week, so I’ll rip the bandaid of bad news off quickly first then get to the more positive stuff. The best news is that there are only 14 days before we can put the dumpster fire of 2020 behind us. My friends who follow the celestial patterns…
