It feels like we were just writing about convention season ending, and now here we are in the midst of a new one. I confess going into this year’s ECCC with a little trepidation.

Pathfinder: Spiral of Bones
Pathfinder: Spiral of Bones Crystal Frazier, Tom Garcia, Morgan Hickman, Thomas Napolitano Dynamite Entertainment January 30, 2019 I’ve played a lot of Pathfinder in my days, enough that I recognized Crystal Frazier’s name when it was attached to this comic.

The Forgotten Queen: Making New Memories
The Forgotten Queen Ulises Arreola, Tini Howard, Amilcar Pinna, Jeff Powell Valiant Entertainment February 27, 2019 I don’t know a lot about Valiant’s established Pantheon.

Previously On Comics: Branded
We had some fun this week! In one of her screwball Twitter bits, Gail Simone started asking brands on Twitter who their favorite comics publishers were.

Finding Strength In The Trans Affirmation Coloring Book
Trans Affirmation Coloring Book Theo Nicole Lorenz Self-Published November 2018 It’s been a long time since I made time for coloring books. The resurgence of them in popularity for adults never really caught me; some of it’s my attention span, some of it’s just having other things to do, and frankly too many of those.
Previously On Comics: You’re As Cold As Ice
Here at WWAC, it seems like we started our awards polls a little early–specifically, the Worst Editorial Decision category, as Marvel decided it was going to throw a last minute wringer in the works, by forcing Teen Iceman of the time-displaced original five X-Men back into the closet before sending him home. Occurring in the…
