Welcome to Cover Girl. Each month, we gather a team of WWAC contributors to analyze a new or recent and notable comic book cover featuring one or more women. This month, Andrea Ayres, Nola Pfau, and Wendy Browne discuss the cover of The Amazing Spider-Man #74.
Previously On Comics: Indigenous Peoples’ Day
Good morning to everyone except the spirit of the long-dead racist murderer Christopher Columbus. May you suffer forever, you horrible monster.
REVIEW: X-Force #22 Finally Bears Fruit
I closed my coverage of last issue saying that it would be nice to see these books be fun again, and while I don’t think this issue made any great strides, it’s nice to see X-Force with a sense of purpose.
REVIEW: Wolverine #15 Is Violence As Art
Remember when I said I couldn’t wait for this issue of Wolverine? Haha.
Previously On Comics: Topsy Turvy
Good morning! This is the first thing I’ve written since I flipped a car a few weeks ago (I’m fine). Hey, they announced the 2021 Ringo nominees! Congratulations and good luck to everyone who got a nom. John Oliver’s National Art Tour will be making the Cartoon Art Museum its final stop! Too bad Cori…
REVIEW: Wolverine #14 Finds Its Bearings
Between the last X-Force and this month’s Wolverine, it’s nice to feel like these books are actually doing something again.
REVIEW: X-Force #21 Has Some Identity Issues
If the stretch between X of Swords and the Hellfire Gala felt like treading water, this issue of X-Force at least feels like it finally has some momentum again.
REVIEW: Wolverine #13 Is A Great Issue of X-Force
I haven’t made a secret of how tired Wolverine has been making me feel since the end of X of Swords. This issue, they felt like the solution to that was…Deadpool!
REVIEW: X-Force #20 Keeps The Party Rockin’
In many ways, X-Force #20 feels like the real start of the Hellfire Gala despite being the second issue of the story.
REVIEW: Wolverine #12 — I have…SPECIAL BLOOD
Maybe it’s me? I dunno, my eyes just glaze over when we get another plot about Wolverine’s special blood.
REVIEW: Mutants Don’t Know the Difference Between an Embassy and a Consulate In Children of the Atom #3
I dunno. I guess I’m hitting that point where my enthusiasm is starting to run dry, even for a book like Children of the Atom.
REVIEW: X-Force #19: In-Quire-ing Minds Want to Know
With continuing art by Garry Brown, X-Force #19 wraps up a very necessary introspective arc about Quentin Quire’s transition into adulthood.
