We took a bit of a hiatus from reporting the news last month, but it seems that comics industry news did not do the same. Here are a few highlights from March.
Previously on Comics: Marvel to Release the Claremont Cut and DC Comics Goes to the Zoo
Oh hey it’s Monday! And comics industry news from last week was actually pretty good! Marvel will release an extended version of Chris Claremont’s God Loves Man Kills next month. For the first time, the Scotiabank Giller Prize will open its doors to graphic novels. The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) announced its 2020 list…
Previously On Comics: News Flash—Kids like Comics. And Manga.
Hello again! It’s once again time for WWAC’s weekly news round up of everything you might have missed last week.
Previously on Comics: The Far Side is Back and That’s All That Matters
So the most important news this week is that Gary Larson’s The Far Side is making a comeback. This new website speaks of a “new online era” of the irreverent cows and questionable humans. Whether that means actual new comics from the creator, or just scans of his original work, I don’t care. Give it…
Previously On Comics: Comics Are Gay and Also Political
There’s been mostly good news this past week, including some long overdue announcements and some reminders to keep fighting the good fight.
Previously On Comics: With Great Wealth Comes Great Opportunity
This last week started off awfully quiet and in retrospect that should have been all we needed to know that something big would happen. That big something came in the shape of DC Comics announcing that they would be shutting down its Vertigo imprint and moving toward branding its comics by age appropriateness. DC will…
Previously On Comics: Memorial Day
It’s Memorial Day today in the United States, and today’s Previously on Comics is more somber in tone than I usually write.
Previously on Comics: Do None Of These People Know How To Operate Businesses Like Adults, Or
Obviously, the big ticket story of last week was the announced merger of Lion Forge and Oni Press. It was spun Wednesday morning by the New York Times as a bold step for the future, but the actual reality of it is that a predominantly Black-owned company is merging into a company owned and operated…
Previously on Comics: Comic Sales Stats and Some Cool New Comics on the Way
Last week, Nola Pfau created a brand new banner for Previously and I’m just gonna take a minute to brag about it because look at it? Isn’t it awesome! We’ve appreciated all the banners we’ve had in the past for our comics news column, but we figured it was time for a change, and Nola…
Previously on Comics: A Thor-ny Subject
Good morning! Hopefully your weekend went well. I don’t have a lot of news for you this week, so I’ll just jump right in. The Doug Wright Awards have announced their 2019 inductees for the Giants of the North, a hall of fame for Canadian cartoonists. Congratulations to Fiona Smyth and also a posthumous congratulations…
Previously On Whatever It Was We Were Reading Before N.K. Jemisin Invented Comics
This week DC announced the return of its Young Animal imprint and with it the launch of Far Sector, an original Green Lantern story written by the Hugo and Nebula Award winning author, N.K. Jemisin and artist Jamal Campbell. Alongside this we will also see the return of Doom Patrol, and the new original series…
Previously on Comics and Comics Adjacent Media but Mostly Comics I Promise
This week has been chock full of pre-ECCC announcements and first looks so apologies if this starts to get repetitive but there is a ton of cool stuff on its way and — bonus — pretty much everyone was too busying prepping for cons to show their ass so I dont have have to write…
