Good morning! It’s my last week of the Fall quarter at school, so I’m taking a break from finals to give you the NEWS!
REVIEW: Rorschach #10 – Tom King Did What Now?
Now before I get into this too far, and because some of the things I will say in this review may not seem like it, I think Rorschach #10 is the best issue of the series so far. That’s not to say it’s become a favorite book or anything, just that the last two issues…
DC PUBWATCH – August 2019 Edition

Previously, On Comics: Something Nice, Something Nasty
Happy May everyone and welcome back to your weekly comics news. It’s been a long week full of a variety of announcements and events. Let’s take a look!
Freedom! Masculinity! Anxiety! 300: Rise of An Empire Is Unsurprisingly Dick Centric and Decidedly American
If 300 was about dicks, 300: Rise of an Empire is about our freedom to swing them. The sequel comes nine years after 300 wowed young white men everywhere with CGI, slow mo, and speeches, and tries to recreate that “winning” formula. Its action is roughly contiguous to 300‘s, retelling naval and political clashes leading…
Detective Comics #27: A celebration of nipples and claws and laziness
Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27, in May of 1939. He wasn’t quite the Batman we know today–he carried a gun, he had no backstory to speak of (it wouldn’t come until November)–but the seeds were there. It’s a significant moment in comics history and, thanks to animated and live action interpretations, in pop…

Friday Poll: The Mayor Toronto Deserves
In not so shocking news, the winner of last week’s Wonder Wouldn’t poll was Frank Miller. Out of our way, sperm bank! He’s the person you’d least like to see attached to a Wonder Woman movie in any way shape or form. And with good reason. Here’s Wonder Woman from Frank Miller’s carnival of horrors, All Star…
Wonder Woman Movies You Just Wouldn’t
The winner of last week’s poll is… the inimitable Ellen Ripley! That’s right WWAC readers, your final-final girl is she. Ripley blew away the competition, but to be fair, I disqualified Sarah Connor (on the basis of her role shifting through the Terminator series), so it might not have been a clean fight. Recount? Sorry, what’s…
