The crossover event X of Swords has hit the New Mutants right where they live — their eponymous book with issue #13. And I take up the role of your regular New Mutants reviewer.
REVIEW: Hellions #5: Bad Bargains in Otherworld
So just HOW do the Hellions play into X of Swords? That’s a question that has been plaguing me since we found out exactly what the crossover is going to entail in X of Swords: Creation. Hellions #5 gives us an answer to how this band of misfit mutants plays into the sword tournament when…
Previously On Comics: Reinventing the Wheel
Welcome back to Previously on Comics, the place where we try to keep track of the things that have the audacity to keep occurring inside of the pandemic purgatory we find ourselves trapped within. I’m not sure if comics is especially quiet at the moment or if we are all too caught up in local…
The Wedding Issue: Hulkling and Wiccan
Aside from “Who would win in a fight?”, no debate gets comic fans more heated than the question of whether or not superheroes should marry. In this special revival of their popular column, Rebecca Henely-Weiss and Kayleigh Hearn take a trip to today’s spinner racks and look at the most recent times comic companies took…
Last Week’s Episode: Lazy in Space
This week I made the mistake of watching hours of SCOTUS hearings, so rest assured pretty much anything mentioned below is gonna be better than that.
REVIEW: Wicked Things #5: Wicked Wonders
Suspicions, our sleuth, and a soft strongman stretch out the story in this sustaining segment of Wicked Things. The ongoing series from the creative team behind Giant Days shows us the sweet-talking smoothness of a subtler Lottie against a series of strange casino smash and grabs.

REVIEW: Over the Garden Wall: Soulful Symphonies Brings Charm to the Fall Season
Autumn is finally upon us—time for hot apple cider, crunchy leaves, decorative gourds, and of course, my annual rewatch of Over the Garden Wall. It’s not every day that something becomes a holiday classic as instantly as this charming cartoon miniseries did in 2014, but its charming rural spookiness and heart have cemented it as…
REVIEW: The Wizerd! and the Potion of Dreams is Pure Comic Book Magic
*Disclaimer: I came into this thinking that Michael Sweater and Rachel Dukes are really cool and this utterly lovely book definitely did not change that opinion at all!*
REVIEW: Witches of Brooklyn Makes Magic
“Young children don’t perceive reality the way adults do…which gives them real creative freedom…and that freedom can lead to the best kinds of magic.”
REVIEW: Fangirl the Graphic Novel, Volume 1
Fangirl Vol. 1 by Rainbow Rowell, Sam Maggs, and Gabi Nam adapts Rainbow Rowell’s original novel to a manga-inspired, black-and-white graphic novel for VIZ’s new imprint VIZ Originals. Like its source material, Fangirl Vol. 1 tells the story of Cath, a popular fanfiction author struggling with adjusting to her first semester at college, meeting new…
REVIEW: Rorschach #1 Is Dangerous And Irresponsible
WOOF. Man, I had a low bar for this book, but it managed to limbo right under it. The thing that angers me about Rorschach #1 lies once again in the vast irresponsibility of King’s narrative.
