New year, new manga! For our first VIZ Pubwatch of 2021, we’ll be taking a look at some classic long-running series as well as newer, less-established work. But first, the VIZ news.
Previously On Comics: Exhausting
Good morning! Welcome to the third week of January 2021, and let’s hope this one is a touch less exhausting than the first two have been. You may remember news on some copyright strikes happening over some new Japanese laws from a couple weeks ago. The strikes specifically seemed to be related to Dragonball Z…
Titan Comics PUBWATCH: January 2021
What a year it’s been — and we’re only two weeks into it. But as my mother reminds me, “where there is life, there is hope.” And where there are comics, with heroes that stand up for good over evil, there will always be hope. This month, we take a look at the second issues…
Previously On Comics: Starting The Presses Back Up
Good morning, and welcome back from the holidays! We’ve kept our content light the last couple of weeks, which has given me a nice little break from writing news posts, but alas, time marches on.
DC PUBWATCH – 2020 Year-End Edition
Happy New Year! In a tumultuous year, DC still managed to put out some fantastic books, including the December output. My favorite book of the year, surprising nobody, was Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen, but Wilson and Roble’s The Dreaming: Waking Hours made a strong case, including December’s #5.
Titan Comics PUBWATCH: December 2020
Take a breath, everyone. We made it to the end of the roller coaster that was 2020. And while there is no guarantee of what 2021 will bring, nevertheless, we persevered. I do hope that wherever you are, and whatever holidays you celebrate this season, that you find some joy and hope within them. This…
Previously on Comics: Unfuck Your Habitat
Hello again, faithful readers. It’s been awhile. And yet, looking at the news from the past week, it’s like nothing’s changed. Some white male creators who have long overstayed their tenure in comics are still out there slotting and harassing people–but then there’s good shit too. Some weeks there’s a little more of column A…
Last Week’s Episode: Disney Deluge+
Yesterday Disney dropped an entire mountain of new programming, which honestly fills me with a lot of mixed and uncomfortable emotions. Like,surely one of the ten Star Wars shows announced could have been axed to pay to furlough some of the 11,000+ park employees that have been laid off?
Last Week’s Episode: Elliot Page Breaks the Internet
We’re back with this week’s entertainment news, and although there doesn’t seem to be a ton of it relative to other weeks, there are a couple bombshells.
Previously on Comics: Giving Thanks
Good morning, and happy Monday! Do you have any idea how thankful I am that last week was relatively quiet on the comics front? While we at WWAC were very sad about the end of Hellblazer (second-to-last review coming later today), it appears that at least one company knows what to do with a good writer; in this…
DC PUBWATCH – November 2020 Edition
Happy Thanksgiving! The big news this month from DC was the official promotion of Marie Javins to Editor-in-Chief. This is the role I have wanted for her for years, and she’s the perfect person to shepherd DC into the next decade. Congratulations, Marie, on a well-deserved promotion. In sadder news, the people affected by the…
