So here we are, wrapping up week three of DC’s Rebirth news/buzz/rumors fiasco, and honestly? We don’t have a ton to show for it. I wish I could say I’m surprised by this. Here are some things that have been pinned down and confirmed since the last time we took a look: Scott Snyder is definitely…

Tuskegee Heirs: A Thing I Can Get Behind (And Did)
A little over a month ago, WWAC posted an interview with Tuskegee Heirs creators Greg Burnham and Marcus Williams. They hadn’t launched their Kickstarter yet, and the concept was still more concept than product, but the two were more than willing to share about their vision, their goals, and their inspiration. After a nice push on social…
Incredible Indie Tuesday: Jazz, Video Games, and WWII Spies All Coming to Auto-Bio Comics in 2016
Does anyone else feel like biographical comics are overlooked in the world of comics media? Obviously, auto-bio comic memoirs are some of the major big-hitters that have become literary staples like Maus or Persepolis, but biographical works written by other people don’t carry the same clout. I get the feeling that’s slowly changing, because there are a…
My First Closet Cosplay: What Faith Means for Fat Girls
I don’t really cosplay. I qualify that “really,” because although I have made costumes and have dressed up like some of my favorite characters, being a fat girl, I understood that when I dressed up like a character, there was always that understanding that it wasn’t really cosplay, because that character wasn’t fat.
Agents of the Realm: Kickstarting the Modern Magical Girls of Today
Agents of the Realm is the answer to the long awaited need for modern, magical girls that fit the diverse world we live in. Its story is complex and compelling, and its characters are incredibly relatable from the moment you meet them. And this month, Agents of the Realm is on Kickstarter! Artist and creator…
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…
Shinbun Saturday: Prolific Manga Creator Nominated for the Will Eisner Hall of Fame
I can’t believe January’s over! How are we into February already? Didn’t 2016 just start? Yikes. At any rate, a new month means new manga news. Katsucon is next weekend, so I wonder if we’ll hear anything interesting? Speaking of cons, SDCC announced nominees for the 2016 Will Eisner Hall of Fame earlier this week….
Review: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue #0
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #0 Kyle Higgins (Writer), Hendry Prasetya (Illustrator), Matt Herms (Colourist), Ed Dukeshire (Letterer) for BOOM! January 13, 2016 I’m going to make something very clear first and foremost: I love Power Rangers. Maybe a little too much. I’ve been a fan since the very beginning—Saban’s Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers—as a fresh-faced chubby kindergartener,…
DC Daily Planet: Trades, Cross Overs, and Even More Rebirth
I’m sure this comes as a surprise to no one, but the Rebirth rumor mill continues to churn, as rumor mills are wont to do. And we’ll get to that, I promise. But before we go back to the anxiety-filled world of reboots and retcons, let’s take a nice detour to some pleasant things that are…
Fashion Comics! Fashion SUPERHEROINE Comics? Let’s Talk About This
The world of fashion isn’t always one explored in superhero comics, but recently many writers and artists are changing that. Whether it’s designing and sewing superhero (or supervillain!) costumes, or juggling fighting crime and working in fashion, comics are exploring the industry and mechanics of garmentry. We looked at Scarlett Couture from Titan (previously covered by Wendy), Heroine Chic,…
Justice 101: Secret Hero Society’s Derek Fridolfs & Dustin Nguyen
When Secret Hero Society: Study Hall of Justice was announced, I was excited. Not only would we be getting kid versions of the DC trinity (Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman), but the team behind my favourite ongoing series when I got into comics, Batman: Li’l Gotham, would be the ones to do it. Young Bruce Wayne is the new…
