REVIEW: Four Years Delivers a Poetic Look at Growth and Friendship
I went into Four Years quite unaware of what to expect beyond just a brief synopsis from the Ignatz Award page and a tweet from creator K Czap. But what I got was a really lovely, well-paced exploration of self growth and friendship through scenes all expertly weaved together with color and movement.

When DC announced their Pride line-up this year, I was once again disappointed by the trans representation. There were a few transfem superheroes in the DC Pride 2022 one-shot, but none in any of the new comics advertised. Kid Quick, the only nonbinary character spotlighted, is from an AU. For the second year in a…
