REVIEW: X-Force #17 Asks “How Do You Solve A Problem Like Quentin Quire?”
I’ve mentioned before how much I’ve enjoyed the many deaths of Quentin Quire. X-Force #17 asks me to consider what it might be like if he lived.
Previously on Comics: Manic Tricksy Scene Girls
Good morning. Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, and today is President’s Day. Those are holidays, I guess, not that they mean much, as apparently Presidents can literally incite violence and escape any kind of justice, these days. Speaking of gross misuses of legal power, a hearty “Fuck you” once again to Brandon Graham, who last week…
Bob Harras: An Oral History in Collage
Bob Harras was fired last year from his Editor in Chief role at DC. Unfortunately, this came with a passel of other job losses and under circumstances apparently unrelated to conduct. Harras’ removal stands out, as his editorial career has been particularly long, and particularly marked by visible allegiances and times of strife. Let’s examine…

A Fistful of Comics: Crowdfunding Roundup, February ’21
It’s 2021 and WWAC’s own comics crowdfunding roundup is back, after an admittedly lengthy nap. Lockdown has gone on long enough that my interests are taking a decided turn for the introspective (we all have our escapisms), and Kickstarter this month was happy to provide.

The shortest month is also the month full of treats, whether you prefer chocolates or good comics. This month, we wrap up the road trip in Life is Strange and take a look at another entry from the world of Cutting Edge, Cutting Edge: The Devil’s Mirror #1.

Vol. 1 of Tamifull’s How Do We Relationship? covers the beginnings of Miwa and Saeko’s relationship with a specific focus on Miwa, highlighting her anxieties about being a lesbian (and ultimately seeing her shed a few) as she spends more and more time with Saeko. Volume 2 picks up from there and spends the majority…
REVIEW: The Black Panther Party Graphic History Offers Knowledge Before Judgement
When people consider the Black Panther Party, thoughts are often mixed, and often negative, no matter one’s race. Through The Black Panther Party: A Graphic Novel History, David F. Walker and Marcus Kwame Anderson offer more than enough details to help a reader understand just who the Panthers were and, perhaps, reconsider their views of…
Hourly Comics Day 2021: Obligation and Opportunity
It’s hourly comics day! As I write this, day-of on February 1, 2021, there’s an absolute blizzard on in Brooklyn and I’m watching a superintendent across the street blast a parked car with snow from a snowblower (it’s probably fine). Hourly comics day falls on a Monday this year, during our, uh, 11th month of…

In this month’s Archie Comics Pubwatch, a passel of new variant covers are on the horizon, South Side Serpent merch is at hand, and more new series…
REVIEW: King in Black: Marauders #1 Battens Down the Hatches
I could have sworn Emma Frost was just planning a party while Kate Pryde sorted out the bad guys in Madripoor but suddenly we are off to save symbiote Storm and Cyclops in King in Black: Marauders #1? This is what I get for being too busy to pay enough attention to mainstream comics lately….
