Betty White didn’t sacrifice herself to the gods for us to waste this new year, so let’s make 2022 all about fighting harder for what’s right, loving ourselves and each other more, and reading a whole lotta comics.
WWAC’s Favorite Manga of 2021
This year we’ve read and wrote about a wide variety of manga: funny comics, thoughtful comics, educational manga and silly manga, longrunning series and series that just started recently.

WWAC’s Favorite Indies, Small Press Comics, and Webcomics of 2021
I will not be sad to see the year 2021, my only regret being not making much of a dent in my to-read pile of comics! But the indies and webcomics on this list were good friends during another pandemic year, and hopefully, you’ll find a new favorite here too!
WWAC’s Best Big Press Comics of 2021
As 2021 draws to a close, we need to sit back, reflect, and answer that all-important question: What were the best comic books of the year? We asked our writers and assembled a weird and wild list of comic books starring mermaids, barbarians, gods, mutants, and even a Green Lantern. As different as they may…

A Fistful of Comics: Crowdfunding Roundup, December ‘21

REVIEW: Inferno #3 – Disarmed and Dangerous
The Jonathan Hickman era of the X-Men began with a dream. A dream of Krakoa, a home for all mutants. A dream of a future without Sentinels or post-human despots, a world where mutants finally win. In House of X #2, Moira vowed in the womb that in her tenth life, she and Charles Xavier…

Previously On Comics: That Whole Fuckin’ Thing
Well, good afternoon! This is officially our last Monday of 2021. It has been a hell of a year. I was in two car wrecks! I spent months on disability leave! Other stuff happened! I don’t know where I’m going with this. There aren’t a lot of news items on account of Christmas being the…
