REVIEW: Soldier/Sailor is a Sexy Queer Superhero Story, But Needs More Plot
In Soldier/Sailor, Colonel Jacob Stone is tasked with taking down Armon Seafarer, Prince Regent of Atlantis, and a perceived threat to the US government. This should be an easy job for a decorated colonel. But there’s a problem—Jacob and Armon have history, which makes being enemies very difficult.

In a gorgeously illustrated 40-page book, cartoonist Peter Ricq introduces us to Ethan Alby in Ghost are People Too. Ethan is a charming little boy who loves playing with toys and his dog and spending time with his family — even though his family doesn’t actually know that he’s there.
REVIEW: Family Road Trip-Meets-Alien in Cable #5
X of Swords is here! The sprawling 22-part epic has arrived and, surprising no one, Krakoa’s favorite psychic teenager with a big space-sword is joining the party. As it is with most event tie-in comics, the question is how well it succeeds as both a piece of the XoS event and an issue of Cable…

Last Week’s Episode: Lazy in Space
This week I made the mistake of watching hours of SCOTUS hearings, so rest assured pretty much anything mentioned below is gonna be better than that.
REVIEW: Wicked Things #5: Wicked Wonders
Suspicions, our sleuth, and a soft strongman stretch out the story in this sustaining segment of Wicked Things. The ongoing series from the creative team behind Giant Days shows us the sweet-talking smoothness of a subtler Lottie against a series of strange casino smash and grabs.

REVIEW: Over the Garden Wall: Soulful Symphonies Brings Charm to the Fall Season
Autumn is finally upon us—time for hot apple cider, crunchy leaves, decorative gourds, and of course, my annual rewatch of Over the Garden Wall. It’s not every day that something becomes a holiday classic as instantly as this charming cartoon miniseries did in 2014, but its charming rural spookiness and heart have cemented it as…
