JKR Regrets Ron/Hermione: The Roundtable
- Roundtables
- February 7, 2014
On Sunday, J.K. Rowling “admitted” that she married off the wrong characters in her still monstrously popular Harry Potter series. Ron/Hermione, she said, was wish fulfillment and literary bad form. Alas, alas, it was cliche. Instead, she should have changed direction mid-series, and hooked up Harry and Hermione instead. Our writers had a few things

- Reviews
- February 4, 2014
On a trip to Florida I drove past a unassuming strip mall in Port St Lucie with a simple “Comics” sign above one of the doors. I am so glad I decided to stop. Collector’s Comics is a treasure. The store itself focuses on superhero comics and memorabilia–though they are happy to order non-super comics for folks looking for them. This is

My name is Francesca Lyn, and I am a second year doctoral student in the Media, Art, and Text program at Virginia Commonwealth University. My research interests center on graphic memoirs written by women. I didn’t come to VCU knowing I wanted to study comics. In fact, my path to studying comics is a rather winding one.

Webcomic Capsules — school, college and roommates
- Reviews
- January 16, 2014
Today’s Capsules is all about student life. Although I have to say our characters do anything but study–apparently, that’s not interesting material for a webcomic. High school, college, and even kidergarten, surely these students will find something interesting to do, such as solving mysteries like the Bad Machinery girls, fighting “villains” as our cute little

Cyborg 009 F. J. DeSanto, Bradley Cramp, Marcus To, Ian Herring Published by Archaia, 2013 I don’t hate it. But this book feels rushed off its feet; a recap for old hands, not a reboot for new eyes. I’m a little familiar with Cyborg009–I’ve watched an episode of the 1968 cartoon (“anime”) and read a
