Apparently the Media sector didn’t want their little brother Comics to get all of mom’s attention, so there are quite a few industry shakeups to discuss. There is plenty of fan love and speculation to go around this week in nerd news! We don’t play favorites here. (Well, only sometimes.)
DC Pubwatch – February 2020
OH, BOY. It’s not often that I have industry-shaking news to report in a Pubwatch, but just as I was sitting down to write for February, the biggest news of the industry hit. Dan DiDio is no longer at DC. He joined the company in 2002 as vice-president of editorial, eventually becoming co-publisher with Jim…
Previously on Comics: The Evil is Defeated
Hello again! Kate here, and let’s be honest, there’s only one headline that people have been talking about this week–the exit of Dan Didio from DC Comics. As first reported by Comicbook.com, Dan Didio was fired this week, and the rumors seem to confirm what people have been saying for years–that he made editorial a…
Last Week’s Episode: Gay Eternals, BDSM Batman, and a Prince and the Dressmaker Musical! OH MY!
Another long week has passed and in the wake of the high-drama of the Oscars, nothing has slowed down with a slew of interesting movie and TV news headed our way, a lot of which is comic book-centric! So strap in for this week’s edition of Last Week’s Episode.
Previously On Comics: One Headache After Another
Good morning! Ya girl’s been nursing a hell of a migraine, so I’m gonna keep this short and sweet. Batgirl and Motor Crush artist Babs Tarr is having an exhibition at Gallery Nucleus in March!

Previously on Comics: DC’s Delivering the Punchline and Other Bad Ideas
Good morning, friends, and welcome to this week’s installment of Previously on Comics, where we round up the goings on from the past week in comics industry news. First up, the clown that just won’t die, and now, apparently has a new girlfriend. Because that’s just what he needs!
Last Week’s Episode: No Disguise For That Wandavision
The Oscars are this weekend and I’m glad to soon be free of the burden of reading takes on any of the best picture nominees. #Bonghive baby.
Last Week’s Episode: Birds and Cats and Pokemon, Oh my!
Or the extended headline: In Which We Have High Hopes for Birds of Prey, I Discuss the Cult Status of Cats, and See Grammy Nominees Drawn as Pokemon Trainers It’s the season. The season for new shows (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina or Shrill anybody?), film festivals, and award shows. Here’s the scoop on what media…
DC PUBWATCH – January 2020
Happy New Year! And with the New Year come big changes to several DC titles. Some long runs have concluded, and new eras are starting (and even Doomsday Clock has finally ended!). Without further ado, let’s get into the DC Pubwatch for January 2020. As always, the reviews may contain spoilers.
Previously On Comics: An Industry Polarized
Good morning! It’s time for another Previously. A new Black Widow ongoing has been announced via IGN! The series has Kelly Thompson handling the writing with Elena Casagrande on art duties. It’s good timing, with the movie coming out soon. Supposedly it’s meant to be a largely stand alone book, and accessible, per Thompson. As…
Last Week’s Episode: And the Winner is… Parasite
After another unfeasibly long week where everything happened constantly and apparently infinitely, WWAC is here to filter the wheat from the chaff, the news from the nonsense, and luckily for me on my very first go-around curating this column: celebrating the achievements of Bong Joon-Ho’s astonishingly wonderful class war masterpiece, Parasite.
