Good morning! You know that phenomenon that started in gaming circles where assholes will call the cops on someone and report a crime so severe that the police will mobilize a SWAT team? If you don’t, it’s called “swatting.” Can we start referring to creators term-searching themselves on social media as “slotting?” No real reason,…
Last Week’s Episode: 43 More Days Until 2021
Will next year be any better than this year? Maybe not. But at least there’s a sliver of hope that it’ll be different than this year. I’ll hold onto that hope for the next forty-three days. In the meantime, here’s a sampler of the last seven days of entertainment news.
Vault Comics Pubwatch: November 2020
What’s New? A big deal for Vault Comics this month is the long awaited release of Brandon Sanderson’s The Dark One, a graphic novel, starring a young man who is haunted by visions of a dark fantastic world that turn out to be prophecies of a future where he becomes a fearsome destroyer. As any…
Previously on Comics: The Crushing Weight of Capitalism
Good morning! The pandemic is getting worse here in the States, because no one in charge values lives over property! Let’s talk about comics, I guess. WarnerMedia is laying off a few more people in addition to the several mentioned this past summer. 2020 has hit the comics industry particularly hard, and once again, those…
Last Week’s Episode: Double Stuffed News
Seeing as the US election was last week–is it over? who knows–and we were all just trying to survive, we’ve got a double stuffed stack of news for you this time round. From hilarious schadenfreude to shocking exposes and of course plenty of casting, releases, and overly optimistic announcements about movies and TV in the…
Titan Comics PUBWATCH: November 2020
In the year that seems like it will never end, we somehow have made it to November. (And through a contentious election week in the United States, which itself felt like a year!) This month, we take a look at a few finales (Adler and Horizon Zero Dawn), as well as the debut of Cutting…
Previously On Comics: Time To Get To Work
Good morn—err, Afternoon! It’s time for a definitely-punctual news update that absolutely did not skip a week in light of intense amounts of stress and worry due to a large national event.
Last Week’s Episode: Nostalgia Trips
Hey team, it’s the week before the US election and my brain is leaking out my ears, I’m getting into Twitter fights, and I finished season seven of Clone Wars so I can’t even soothe myself with clone shenanigans. I hope you’re all going well, going to vote if you’re American and haven’t already, and that you’re…
DC PUBWATCH – October 2020 Edition
This is an interesting month for DC news and solicits because most of DC’s January books are going to be part of Future State. This is a two-month line-wide detour into possible futures of the DC universe. The important things to note are the breaks from the standard 20-page monthly book. Many of the books…
Previously on Comics: Time is a Flat Circle
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…
