Stings, the soft strongman, and our sleuth sum up the story in this supposed ending to Wicked Things. This sixth issue from the creative team behind Giant Days shows us the solution to Lottie’s substantial heist and brings some cessation to the series.
REVIEW: Superman/Batman Fan Book Soft Lead is The World’s Sweetest
Batman and Superman have a long and storied history but in a recent fan comic shared on Twitter, artist Chan Chau encompassed a sweet, soft, and caring side of the heroes that we rarely see. The 17 page comic is one of the loveliest things that I’ve read in a while, and both moved and…
Review: Star Trek Discovery’s “Unification III” Connects The Dots & Pays Homage To Spock
Star Trek: Discovery’s latest episode, “Unification III,” is a sequel to a 1991 Next Generation two-parter and a continuation of a more recent Picard storyline. The episode makes some surprising choices that don’t always land, but it swings hard and hits where it counts.
REVIEW: Excalibur #15 – When the Citadel Calls, Captain Britain Must Answer
The tournament started in Excalibur #14, so it’s only fair that by #15 it’s over and Krakoa has won. But that isn’t the end to the threat as the Annihilation helm has decided that it does not wish to play by the rules.

A Platform for Philippine Komiks: An Interview With Penlab
Filipino komiks (“comics”) have long had a commercial industry that goes far back as the 1920s, but it has been only until recently that interest in these works has grown outside of the Philippines. With social isolation restrictions still in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many artists have been turning to ways to expand…
REVIEW: The Horror is Reality in John Constantine: Hellblazer #11
John Constantine: Hellblazer is a nasty series. I mean that in the best way possible; I imagine it’s hard to be nasty in mainstream comics, where things are, above all else, meant to sell. But between unicorn semen and a vulgar metaphor made manifest in this penultimate issue, this series has been unrelentingly brash and…
Previously on Comics: Giving Thanks
Good morning, and happy Monday! Do you have any idea how thankful I am that last week was relatively quiet on the comics front? While we at WWAC were very sad about the end of Hellblazer (second-to-last review coming later today), it appears that at least one company knows what to do with a good writer; in this…

REVIEW: Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel: Militarism and Feminism in Comics and Film
Higher. Faster. Further. More. Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman are icons in comics. Advertised as inspiration for girls and women. Except, sometimes, for me, but I could never articulate why. They both protected people who couldn’t protect themselves. Each is confident and fully realized. They are adult women. It was something… else. And Carloyn Cocca…
