REVIEW: Ghosted in L.A. Lives its Best Afterlife
Los Angeles is a city of ghosts. They linger on the sidewalk, forever haunt the crumbling old mansions that once belonged to movie stars, and reside in the rooms of historic hotels. Spirits are on every path, behind every corner. But Los Angeles is also a city of hope, where people venture to find themselves….
BOOM Pubwatch: August 2020
Welcome to this month’s BOOM! Pubwatch, where I’ll be gushing about Wonder Pony, a new middle-grade comic that I loved, as well as the start of Seven Secrets #1, and the graphic memoir, Happiness Will Follow, which I have some mixed feelings about. In the news section there is some celebrating the Jenny Frison Cover…

BOOM! Pubwatch: July 2020
And we’re back! Sort of. Things are slowly starting to open up again where I am (though, personally, I am sticking close to home for a little bit longer) and that includes comic shops.

BOOM Pubwatch: May 2020
Not much has changed since March, the world has still been turned upside down by a global pandemic. Thankfully, I’ve still been able to keep working from home and everyone if my family is healthy (including my brand new baby niece Eva who made her debut a couple of weeks ago) but it’s still a…
Last Week’s Episode: New Normal
*taps mic* Is this thing on…? Hello, again, from the new normal of never going anywhere except to the grocery store. Those of us who are privileged enough to be able to stay and work at home have a lot of content coming our way, and things continue to change quickly as studios and creatives…
BOOM Pubwatch: March 2020
At the start of this month, I was on vacation. Sitting poolside with a stack of reading material. I definitely wasn’t expecting that a week later I would be preparing to work from home and self-isolate. I was forced to stay at home for a few months last winter, and the memory of that still…
BOOM Pubwatch: February 2020
This month I really tried to spend some time catching up on a few series. There are so many great BOOM! comics out right now it’s easy to fall behind when I’m doing my reading for this Pubwatch. In particular, I spent a little extra time catching up on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and…
BOOM Pubwatch: January 2020
We did it! We survived 2019! It’s felt like a particularly long year last year, especially since I spent the majority of it recovering from my ankle injury. I’m not taking any chances this year! I’m planning on staying inside as much as possible and attempting to put a dent in the ever-growing pile of…
