Sometimes I want to escape to the stars, or to the future, or to a magical land where people are just cozily, reliably nice to each other. Luckily, I’m not alone in this wish, as a current wave of speculative fiction is prioritizing kindness in its characters. Here’s a list of current books with plots…
A Fistful of Comics: Crowdfunding Roundup, September ‘21
Welcome to September! I’m counting my blessings this month—my building in NYC survived Hurricane Ida’s fallout relatively unscathed (though other folks still need help), the east coast summer humidity has finally abated, and the roster of crowdfunded projects in the comics space this month is a dangerous, dangerous bounty. Each of the three spotlighted projects…
A Fistful of Comics: Crowdfunding Roundup, August ‘21
Welcome to August! I have completely and utterly lost all concept of time at this point—my weeks are punctuated by trips to the library and staring hungrily at my mailbox, waiting for books I’ve backed to show up even though I immediately forget each project’s schedule as soon as I read the updates. But that’s…
A Fistful of Comics: Crowdfunding Roundup, July ‘21
I’ve been reading more graphic novels published by big trade houses and stampeding my way through several multi-volume ongoing manga series recently.

WWACarls: The Definitive List of Carls in Comics
According to all those baby naming sites, the name “Carl” has old Germanic origins and means “Free Man.” It’s considered to be a form of “Charles,” but with that strong, German influence that gives us the “K(a)-rl” pronunciation. Is it a good name? Fiction seems to think so. More specifically, the comic book industry seems…

Folks, the comics this month are weird, varied, and absolutely up-and-down incredible, so instead of listening to me talk about the weather for a paragraph, let’s jump right into the experimental, opportunistic, and entrepreneurial goodness. Here we go!

Luckily, there’s still many which are easily available online for free. I’ve picked out five of my favorite free erotic webcomics that can keep you company…
A Fistful of Comics: Crowdfunding Roundup, April ‘21
Happy April! After a full 13 months of half-lockdown, the United States is finally on its way to getting folks vaccinated and, perhaps, in a position where we can see our friends in person without being afraid of causing a biological incident. I’m planning on using the few remaining months I have of not having…
