Hello, and welcome back to Monthly Marvel Muster. It’s been a while, and rather a lot has happened since my last post in February. There’s too much to go into in any detail, but I’ll try to hit the high notes.
Presenting Dark Horse: The Hottest News from SDCC 2018
If you’re reading this now, we have successfully completed another turn around the sun—not the giant star that shines upon humanity’s universe, mind, but that giant star that lights up the universe of geeks and nerds around the world. I am, of course, talking about San Diego Comic-Con. After listening to years of secondhand hype…
DC PUBWATCH: SDCC and July Edition
I spent last weekend in San Diego, attending as many DC-relevant panels as I could to gather information for you, dear readers. I was also invited to attend the DC Press Breakfasts, one of which turned into a cult initiation, but they gave me a snazzy robe, so all hail Tom King!
Rosie’s GIANT SIZED Dynamite Pubwatch (March/April/May/June)
Hello, comic book adventurers! It’s me Rosie, back once again with your regular Dynamite comics roundup. We here at Women Write About Comics are dedicated to unpacking the complex parts of the industry and unwrapping the underwhelming gift that is comics so we can all enjoy/despair about it together! So here we are with another…
Presenting Dark Horse: June 2018
Well, hello there, lovely readers. It’s been a while. Almost a year, in fact, since my last installment of Presenting Dark Horse. While I have a million and one reasons to explain my absence—such as becoming an editor for WWAC’s own Bookmarked section, and so many wonderful freelance writing gigs over the last several months—I can’t help but…
Journey Across the Seven Seas: Please Put Some Clothes On, Thx
What do the latest batch of Seven Seas releases have in common? Well, a lot of naked women. Then again, that’s to be expected when two of the new releases are tied to Go Nagai…
BOOM! Bar: Half-Year Check-In
If you’ve ever been curious about what BOOM! and their imprints KaBOOM!, BOOM! Box and Archaia put out into the world, this overview should give you a snapshot of their range. Ah, BOOM! Bar readers, when last did we speak? January. Forgive me. In apology, I bring you February through June, all at once. We’ll…
DC PUBWATCH June
Oh hey! A new look, a new schedule, and a lot less stress on your DC beat writer! We decided to move to a monthly column rather than weekly, and to only fully review a handful of books a month. The ten books I liked most, as well as the five books I liked least,…
DC PUBWATCH: May 23 Releases
Last week DC gave us a few endings and the start of the heralded Flash War. A theme this week was DC books referencing the old universe, and by God is that a way to instantly get my attention. It was hard for me to pick a favorite, but I finally settled on The Terrifics….
DC PUBWATCH: May 9, 2018 Releases
Hey, its been awhile! So long in fact, that a name change was in order. DC has retired the Rebirth branding for now, switching over to DC Universe branding for their main line titles, so its time to retire the Rebirth brand here as well. Same great column, just a different name. This week we…
Journey Across the Seven Seas: New Year, New Releases
How did Seven Seas begin the year? With fresh releases, fresh series, and lots of cute to go around! In this go around, we have middle school crushes cute, chibi art style cute, 4koma comedy cute, cross-species kid friendships cute, prettyboys’ backstory angst cute… What do you mean, that last one’s not cute? It totally…
Pubwatch Oni Press – Celebrating 20 Years with Charity and Dragons
And we’re back! Two-ish months in and it already feels like a year’s worth of things have happened in 2018 (did January last like three months for anyone else?). Over in the Oni Press corner, we’ve got some catching up to do, so let’s get going. Things to look forward to: Have you read Katie…
