Cybernary Has Nothing To Say

March 19, 2018

The nineties roll off of Cybernary. If the comic had a smell, it’d be diesel and Teen Spirit, all raucous and chaotic and mostly unpleasant, unless you’re a particular type of person. I’m not that person.

Big Barda and Mister Miracle: Comics’ Best Couple

March 16, 2018

Big Barda and Mister Miracle are hands down my favourite couple in comics, yet as I sit down to write about why, the words escape me. If I think too much about it, I get misty eyes. They’re the best example of a monogamous relationship I’ve ever seen.

WWE #14 Dennis Hopeless, Tini Howard (writers), Serg Acuña (artist), Dan Mora (cover artist) BOOM! Studios February 21, 2018 There is something fascinating about WWE #14. The first issue of the arc chronicling the Women’s Revolution in the company is some kind of genius in how metatextual the ...
