Hello and welcome to another edition of Previously on Comics! I am your host, Kate, and this week is one of those weeks where it seems like not much is happening in the world of comics, but also a lot is happening. I took September off, but in August I wrote about Bloodbath Monday at…
Vault Comics Pubwatch: October
Perhaps the most shocking (and amusing) thing to occur this month at Vault was Henry Henry’s takeover of the publisher’s Twitter account, ahead of the November release of Dark Interlude #1, the not quite sequel to Fearscape. “HH” had lots to say about Vault’s lineup of comics and creators.
Previously On Comics: Reinventing the Wheel
Welcome back to Previously on Comics, the place where we try to keep track of the things that have the audacity to keep occurring inside of the pandemic purgatory we find ourselves trapped within. I’m not sure if comics is especially quiet at the moment or if we are all too caught up in local…
Titan Comics PUBWATCH: October 2020
It’s spooky season! (Or spoopy season, if you’re like me and sometimes can’t spell.) What tricks and treats does Titan Comics bring us for October? This month, we take a look at the conclusion of Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious and the newest Life is Strange series!
Last Weeks Episode: Halloween, Covid-19 Shutdowns, and MCU Castings Oh My!
Hello and welcome back to Last Week’s Episode! Congrats for surviving another week of 2020 and–because you’re here–for wearing a mask and keeping those around you safe! We appreciate you. As we move steadily through Fall there’s plenty of wild Hollywood news to keep us entertained as well as the usual shutdowns and hubris from…
Previously on Comics: I’m Not Allowed To Say I Hope Donald Trump Dies On Twitter
Good morning! Happy first full week of Halloween. I definitely hope Donald Trump dies. Ngozi Ukazu, creator of Check, Please!, has had her first strip printed in the New Yorker! Congratulations! …and now for the rest. LA Comic Con is moving ahead full steam in December! This seems like a terrible idea. Houghton Mifflin has shuttered its 14 year…
Last Week’s Episode: It’s Spooky Season
It’s finally fall! Even though it still feels like the neverending story of these trash times, at least it’s now the season of comforts like pumpkin pie, mulled cider, and warm fireplaces. Let’s hope cooler weather encourages people to continue socially distancing and get cozy in their homes. Meanwhile, don’t forget to get your flu…
Previously On Comics: Ex-Farce
Good morning. Rob Liefeld really wants you to pay attention to him. He’s mad about X-Men comics again, and he’s learned exactly the right way to stir up a mob on social media. Anyway, on to news that actually matters: Allie Brosh has a new book, and Buzzfeed has an interview with her. Mark Trail’s…
Last Week’s Episode: Regina King Takes the Crown
How we doing, folks? Everyone getting some sunshine before it gets too cold? It’s fall here but that bitter chill you feel might be the realization that 2020 is our first year without new Marvel theatrical content, owing to the fact that going to a theater/restaurant/anywhere is a harrowing thought for many folks (me, it’s…
Vault Comics Pubwatch: September 2020
Vault Comics is moving at full steam now that comics distribution is back in full swing. Autumnal, Vault’s new horror series, has already sold out and is off for a second printing which will feature a new cover. Meanwhile, Resonant, one of my favourite series from this publisher, will be returning with a new story…
Previously On Comics: Noteworthy Events
I gotta say, as normal as social distancing is starting to feel these days, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to keep track of con season digitally. It’s frustrating to me that Christian Cooper is known primarily now as the man who was involved in the altercation with the racist birdwatching lady, and not,…
Last Week’s Episode: Tardy to the Party
Hope this LWE finds you well and apologies for the delay! I hope you all have nice weekend plans and that Naomi Osaka wins the US Open!
