The modding community of Skyrim wastes no time. Not even a week went by from when Steam announced they would support non-Valve games having paid mods, starting with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, before they decided to take the feature down. An announcement made on Steam highlights that they realised from customer feedback that it
READ MOREAs I have said many times before, I love Red Sonja. She was the first “person” I wanted to be growing up. All I needed was a sword to go with my horse, which I already had (Texas girl here). When Gail Simone announced that she would be rounding up a group of female writers
READ MOREWe Can Never Go Home #1 Matthew Rosenberg and Patrick Kindlon (W); Josh Hood (A); Michael Walsh (CA) Black Mask Comics April 6, 2015 As punk rock history might tell you, there’s something about a boy, a girl, self-destruction, and rock n’ roll that makes for a pretty compelling, if not ultimately tragic story. As
READ MOREDiamond Comics Distributors were kind enough to send me their Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) offerings before the day in question. I read them all except the five that I didn’t receive (Fight Club/The Goon/The Strain, Doctor Who Special, 2000 AD Special, Ice Bayou Blackout and Teen Titans GO!/Scooby-Doo Team Up #6). Below are my choices for the
READ MOREContent Warning: Discussion and depiction of sexuality. So I’m just a girl in a comic book store. I’m aimlessly walking around, letting my gaze go from cover to cover, waiting for something to catch my eye. I glance over a shitload of caped crusaders, lots of skintight catsuits, a couple of combat action sequences. Nothing really
READ MOREOn May 7th here in the UK, we will elect a new government and Prime Minister—basically our president, for the Republics out there—who will run the country for the next five years. Yeah, it’s pretty major stuff, and it’s almost all anyone is talking about.
READ MORE“When a guy gets dressed in a nice suit or a tuxedo and drives a sports car, he feels like Bond. I want every girl who puts on her little black dress with matching high heels and clutch bad to step out of her door… and feel like Scarlett Couture.”
READ MOREWhile I struggle through The Major’s Body: 2nd Gig (getting it just right is important), let’s take a detour through the valley of the dolls.
READ MOREI got the chance to speak with three women involved with WinC, a collective of women working in comics and entertainment whose mission is to highlight other women in the industry and discuss issues women face within it. When our interview through my new favorite tool Google Hangouts began, I could see the dark grey skies of
READ MOREI am a huge fan of Modesty Blaise. The cheap description of the character is “the female James Bond,” but oh, Modesty is so much more than that. She was born in 1963, when writer Peter O’Donnell and illustrator Jim Holdaway brought to British newspaper strip comics—and later novels—her adventures in subterfuge and action and capers that took
READ MOREDrawing games are awesome. They’re one of the few games I can get most of my friends and family who aren’t into board games to play with me. They are all also big fans of Taboo, and I’m a big fan of geekery. Now there’s a tabletop game that will combine all of the interests and
READ MOREThis past Friday, DC Comics announced Frank Miller’s return to the Dark Knight Returns brand name, in honor of the 30th anniversary of the original title. Miller will be joined by Brian Azzarello, writer of Joker, Wonder Woman, and others. This third entry, following the much-maligned Dark Knight Strikes Again, is stunningly titled Dark Knight:
READ MORELegenderry Red Sonja Marc Andreyko (writer), Aneke (artist), Impact Studios (colors), & Dave Lanphear (letters) Cover by Sergio Davila & Ivan Nunes Dynamite April 22, 2015 While I didn’t expect it, I find myself enjoying Legenderry Red Sonja. Too often, these side ventures can be painful, cough, cough, cough. But in Andreyko’s and Aneke’s hands,
READ MOREI first met Enrica Jang while at Philadelphia Wizard Con a near two years ago. She was on a panel speaking about diversity and women in comics, and I—the baby comic journalist I was then—bucked up the courage to speak with her. She gave me honest advice about writing and promoting one’s self online. She kindly

The satirical magazine is set to be awarded PEN’s Freedom of Expression Courage Award on May 5, in recognition of their continuing to publish, despite years
READ MOREFriends, Shenlong has been summoned. The balls are back together. The monkey is returning. Animated Dragon Ball… is coming back. It’s like the fuckers knew I just finished a run through “the entire series.” Even GT? Yeah. Even GT. People are pretty excited, of course, because this new anime will begin directly following Goku’s final battle
