I’ve been reading more graphic novels published by big trade houses and stampeding my way through several multi-volume ongoing manga series recently. While I’m head over heels for the conclusion of Blue Flag and love Lucy Knisley’s work to bits, I’ve found myself turning to crowdfunded work that gravitates even more toward the short, sweet,…

WWACarls: The Definitive List of Carls in Comics
According to all those baby naming sites, the name “Carl” has old Germanic origins and means “Free Man.” It’s considered to be a form of “Charles,” but with that strong, German influence that gives us the “K(a)-rl” pronunciation. Is it a good name? Fiction seems to think so. More specifically, the comic book industry seems…

Folks, the comics this month are weird, varied, and absolutely up-and-down incredible, so instead of listening to me talk about the weather for a paragraph, let’s jump right into the experimental, opportunistic, and entrepreneurial goodness. Here we go!

A Fistful of Comics: Crowdfunding Roundup, April ‘21
Happy April! After a full 13 months of half-lockdown, the United States is finally on its way to getting folks vaccinated and, perhaps, in a position where we can see our friends in person without being afraid of causing a biological incident. I’m planning on using the few remaining months I have of not having…

10 Anime Series That Don’t Contain Pervy Fan Service
Anime, like every other medium, has its share of problems. One of the more frustrating and noticeable aspects of anime is how often female characters are portrayed as overly-sexualized fan service (even where the character in question is just a tween). These gratuitous depictions can often detract from the actual plot, undermine the character, or…
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.
Miss Zine Festivals? Shop at These Distros!
I’m not a social person, but I love zine festivals. In a typical year, I would have scrounged up some energy, tamped down my social anxiety and dragged my nervous self to at least a couple events. Despite myself, I always have a good time, and I spend a ridiculous amount of money on zines….
