Good morning! This is the first thing I’ve written since I flipped a car a few weeks ago (I’m fine). Hey, they announced the 2021 Ringo nominees! Congratulations and good luck to everyone who got a nom. John Oliver’s National Art Tour will be making the Cartoon Art Museum its final stop! Too bad Cori…
REVIEW: Cheat(er) Code is a Queer Answer to Scott Pilgrim
When Anthony Oliviera recommended Cheat(er) Code, a new erotic graphic novel by writer S. A. Foxe and artist Daz, on Twitter last November, the endorsement could not have come at a better time. He described it as “exactly the kind of cheerfully horny gay smut we need right now.” In the post-DST bleakness of pandemic…
REVIEW: The Silver Coin #4 Feels Like Bronze
While still good, issue #4 of The Silver Coin feels weaker and slightly disjointed from the rest of the series so far. While it features an interesting setting, the lack of a connection between this and the previous three issues is a curious choice for what was originally intended to be the penultimate issue in…
REVIEW: St. Mercy #1 Sticks Bloody Fingers Into Incan Mythology
Two young girls bound by destiny, a vengeful god, lots of blood and gore, wild west thieves, and an ancient Incan curse.
REVIEW: W.E.B of Spider-Man #2 Weaves a Fun Spell
W.E.B. of Spider-Man #2 is a fun series that will likely please older kids and teenagers with its sprightly can-do attitude. Older collectors might not find it an essential pull, but it’s still a fun read.

Superman ’78 Inspires Nostalgia And So Much More
After Batman ‘66 and Wonder Woman ’77, the next cinematic adaptation for DC was, of course, the iconic Superman starring Christopher Reeve from 1978. I recently rewatched the movie (which is streaming on HBOMax), and was once again struck by how perfectly cast and perfectly acted both Clark and Lois are. But I was also…
Cautionary Fables and Fairy Tales: North America an Interview with Artist Alina Pete
Today, Iron Circus Comics launches its 30th Kickstarter with Cautionary Fables and Fairy Tales: North America.

REVIEW: Way of X #5 – Restorative Injustice
Heeeey, Kurt, do you know what abuse victims don’t love? They don’t love being surprised by having their abuser suddenly thrust upon them as part of your ill-conceived kiss-and-make-up plans.
REVIEW: X-Corp #4 – Black King and Queen to the Continuity Rescue
Like I said, X-Corp is definitely going to need Mastermind to work some PR magic to get them out of their latest mess. Good thing he had the foresight to know this and also bring along some backup in X-Corp #4. But first, we retcon!
REVIEW: The Trial of Magneto #1 Stands Tall
Who killed the Scarlet Witch at the Hellfire Gala? X-Factor investigates: was it… Magneto? Will he turn against the entire Krakoan experiment? And will his other super-heroic children, Polaris and Quicksilver, try to bring him down?

Before we get into this past week’s news, I just want to redirect you to Kate Tanski’s previous Previously on Comics where she breaks down two very important issues: the ethics of comics creators moving to Substack and the importance of a bisexual Robin. If you missed out on this news in Kate’s piece last…
