REVIEW: Whistle – A New Gotham City Hero is Doggone Good
Whistle is my favorite new hero of the year. She cares about her city neighborhood, her friends, her mom, and her dogs. That’s a character I’d love even if she didn’t have superpowers, but luckily, she does. Whistle joins Peter Parker, Kamala Khan, and the Teen Titans in the ranks of teens who gain powers…

An Accounting of Action Lab Allegations

A Summer Spread from Liminal 11

DC PUBWATCH: August 2021 Edition
Here in the great white north, it is hot and humid this August, so I hope that you are able to keep cool this summer. I already told you that The Dreaming: Waking Hours #12 is my top pick of the month, and why, and sadly, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow remains my bottom pick of…
REVIEW: Marauders #23 Drifts Further Off Course
Marauders #23 feels like it should be a much-needed attempt to right the series in the wake of the Hellfire Gala.
