Liminal 11 is a UK-based publishing company that describes themselves as a “mind, body and spirit publisher” that, to me, has become almost synonymous with tarot. I’m an avid tarot reader who has been hungrily collecting all of the Liminal 11 decks since their very first, the first edition of the Luna Sol Tarot in…

DC PUBWATCH: August 2021 Edition
Here in the great white north, it is hot and humid this August, so I hope that you are able to keep cool this summer. I already told you that The Dreaming: Waking Hours #12 is my top pick of the month, and why, and sadly, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow remains my bottom pick of…

REVIEW: The Silver Coin #4 Feels Like Bronze
While still good, issue #4 of The Silver Coin feels weaker and slightly disjointed from the rest of the series so far. While it features an interesting setting, the lack of a connection between this and the previous three issues is a curious choice for what was originally intended to be the penultimate issue in…

REVIEW: W.E.B of Spider-Man #2 Weaves a Fun Spell
W.E.B. of Spider-Man #2 is a fun series that will likely please older kids and teenagers with its sprightly can-do attitude. Older collectors might not find it an essential pull, but it’s still a fun read.

I recently rewatched the movie (which is streaming on HBOMax), and was once again struck by how perfectly cast and perfectly acted both Clark and Lois are. But I was also…
