Each month, we gather a team of WWAC contributors to analyze a new and notable comic book cover featuring a woman. This month Ray, Alexis, Kayleigh, Veronique, and Melissa got together to talk about the cover to My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness, the hit queer manga memoir by Nagata Kabi and published in English by Seven…
Get Your Game On Wednesday: Welcome to the Church of Hanzo
Welcome to Wednesday! I’ve been sinking my teeth into NieR: Automata and a second Ladykiller in a Bind playthrough—this time learning more about the Boy—while the rest of the gaming world is drowning in daddies. Will I ever catch up on the hot gaming trend of the day? Probably not, but I’m always on top…
Monument Valley 2 is a Delightful, But Too Safe Sequel
To open, Monument Valley 2 is to enter a pastel world of strange, wonderful landscapes, where everything is M. C. Escher and physics aren’t real. There’s nothing quite like the satisfying mental click when you finally crack its nonsense puzzles by sliding a set of stairs into an unlikely place or rotating a wheel just so…
Studs and Spurs: Hotblood!’s Take On the Wild West is Stunning
Nothing about Toril Orlesky’s Hotblood! is exactly what it seems. It’s a comic about the Old West, but there are centaurs. There are centaurs, but no magic. Every character is lying, but probably not in the way that you expect. There are so many layers of deception to Hotblood! that it’s at times difficult to…
The REadWind: Alanna: The First Adventure
The REadWind series gets contributors to re-read the books they haven’t read in years and self-reflect. The goal is to explore how the contributors’ growth as a person plays a role in their experience in revisiting the book. Do they still like/hate it? How has it changed? Why? We ask the contributors to for a…
Get Your Game On Wednesday: Indie Games Are More Relevant Than Ever
It’s time for the Steam Summer Sale! I wish you all good luck and many cheap games on your journeys, and hope that you haven’t already emptied your life savings by purchasing one-dollar games just because you can. Personally, I haven’t bought a dang thing because I’m a cheapskate with a backlog spanning several years….
Dear Sylvanas Windrunner: It’s Definitely Not You
Dear Sylvanas Windrunner, We’ve fallen out of touch. It’s me, not you—I used to have free time, or at least I used to not care about the things I was ignoring to play World of Warcraft. Now that I have jobs and side projects I enjoy, I just don’t have time to grind and grind…
Cover Girl: Baby Teeth
Each month, we gather a team of WWAC contributors to analyze a new and notable comic book cover featuring a woman. This month Rosie, Veronique, Kayleigh, and Melissa discuss Babyteeth, a new devil baby comic from Aftershock.
Get Your Game On Wednesday: E3’s the Way to Be
Another E3 come and gone, and still no update on Kingdom Hearts 3. But that doesn’t mean there’s no news to be had–in fact, I’ve got quite a bit of it for you, so let’s get right to it!
Get Your Game On Wednesday: The Seaman Cometh
Welcome to another Wednesday, beloved nerds. While I have been immersing myself in a delightful tale of debauchery and puns (I’m playing Ladykiller in a Bind), gaming news has forged ahead without me. It’s the one-year anniversary of Overwatch, so let’s go ahead and get all of that way, shall we?
Idle Animations: Visiting the Rat Shrine
Idle Animations is a recurring series in which I play games without playing them, exploring quiet, still moments, how games fill space and time, and what happens when you let a game play itself.
What We’re Playing: Existential Crises about Robot Dinosaurs
Now that we’ve made it past the post-holiday slump, game releases are coming fast. Throughout March and April, the Women Write About Comics games section has been playing a wide swath of games in multiple genres, giving us a lot to talk about in this month’s compilation.
