#TouchYourselfTonight: Let’s Take Deadpool Seriously for a Moment
It’s unlikely that my sister-in-law will ever see Deadpool. She does not like violence. She’s also just rung the bell after six years of fighting cancer. She’s beaten the disease, but that doesn’t make hearing the “c-word,” much less watching someone else deal with it, very easy to handle any time soon. Meanwhile, a friend…
The Funko Phenomena

I was almost late for my chat with Princeless author Jeremy Whitley the other night. Why? Because my daughters wanted to read Princeless volume 1: Save Yourself again. When I first went hunting for Princeless, it was indeed a hunt. I eventually scored a copy of the original manga-sized first print, which, Whitley says, he’d seen…

Sunday Art Gala: Le Bouletmaton
A good way to distract us here at WWAC is to send us off to Polyvore to design outfits, or give us an avatar creator so that we can recreate ourselves in all our digital glory. Our latest find is Le Bouletmaton by Boulet and Zanorg. The former is a French artist whose work is…
