REVIEW: Batwoman’s “Whatever Happened to Kate Kane” is an Epic Season Premiere
Batwoman is back, but not as we remember her. With Kate Kane missing, Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie) must don the Bat-suit and protect Gotham City against the many villains who are determined to destroy it. It’s just one episode, but I already love this new hero and the trajectory for the second season.

Titan Comics PUBWATCH: January 2021

Find Modern Peace with Pipette and Dudley Charming Dog Adventure Comics
A comic I return to again and again is Baby Bun, by Yoyo, a mini-mini mini comic I picked up — for 50p — in passing on my way out of OK True Believers in its first or second year. It’s a panel per page sequence of what appears to be a large ice cube…
REVIEW: I Read Good Neighbors So You Don’t Have To
Good Neighbors dissects one summer when the residents of Maple Street implode, hunting down a potentially fabricated boogeyman. All against the backdrop of an unbearable heatwave, the appearance of a massive sinkhole, and the recovery of a body.
