Vault Comics Pubwatch: October
Perhaps the most shocking (and amusing) thing to occur this month at Vault was Henry Henry’s takeover of the publisher’s Twitter account, ahead of the November release of Dark Interlude #1, the not quite sequel to Fearscape. “HH” had lots to say about Vault’s lineup of comics and creators.

In a gorgeously illustrated 40-page book, cartoonist Peter Ricq introduces us to Ethan Alby in Ghost are People Too. Ethan is a charming little boy who loves playing with toys and his dog and spending time with his family — even though his family doesn’t actually know that he’s there.

REVIEW: Once Goddess, Once Queen — Vita Ayala Unleashes Storm in Marauders #13
Jonathan Hickman et al have been unsubtly hinting that Storm has a Big Role to Play, though everything leading up to now has implied little more than a chance of rain. To think, it only took a new writer whom I know actually cares about the character and writes her accordingly in Marauders #13 to…

Ashley Christine’s Midnight 99 Is a Trip for the Lizard Brain
We’ve dealt with alien lizards invading earth before with V. This time, there’s a lot less peeling off human guises to reveal the ghastly lizard creatures beneath, and a lot more sex, drugs, and probably rock n’ roll in Ashley Christine’s Midnight 99, out today from NeoText.
Raising a Glass to Tom Peyer and Edgar Allan Poe’s Snifter of Blood #1

Step Into Yaya Han’s World of Cosplay
2020 has halted the convention season, which is a big problem for cosplayers like Yaya Han who rely on those moments of fan engagement for their livelihood. Han hasn’t been able to strut her creative stuff on the convention floor, however, she did get to take her cosplay work in a different direction with the…
[PREVIEW] The Fire of Theseus
Coming tomorrow from Humanoids is The Fire of Theseus, a retelling of the story of Theseus and the Minotaur in its labyrinth. But as with too many of the stories we’ve been told, the truth is not always what has been written on the page. The creative team of Jerry Frissen, Francesco Trifogli, Gerald Parel,…
