A few months ago, I stumbled across a lovely little gem at my local used bookstore, a collection of Marvel romance comics. Being a comic geek and recovering academic, this obviously began a spiral of research into romance comics. Along the way, I stumbled across Jacque Nodell’s blog Sequential Crush. Jacque is a romance comic historian,…

A Look At Random House Canada’s Upcoming 2015 Titles
This month, Random House Canada invited bloggers to their headquarters to get a preview of some of their upcoming 2015 titles. It was a great time where pizza was eaten and awesome transitional slides featured Danny Castellano and Justin Timberlake were viewed.

Sad Metal Losers: Date Night With WWAC

Rice, Spice, and Two Makes Nice: Date Night WIth WWAC
I’ve been on a total of ten dates in my life. Which might seem like a lot, but considering they were all with the same guy in my senior year of high school probably not. I don’t often date; actually I never date. But in the face of six feet of tall, bronzed, and red…
Suck My Neck: Date Night With WWAC

Advanced Functionality: Date Night With WWAC
I would probably date Nautica from Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye, were she an actual existing person.

Basically my girlfriend, if she was a giant robot that turned into a submersible vehicle and had engineering knowledge.

Double Trouble, Gotham via Riverdale: Date Night With WWAC
I’m at the fanciest Italian restaurant in Riverdale (weirdly, I can also order lobster here). Across the table is my Valentine’s date—high school heartthrob and continual teenage crush Jason Blossom. No, wait. It’s no heartthrob at all, it’s everyman Archie Andrews, looking extra freckled and earnest in the kind glow of the candlelight.
