WWACommendations: Plain Jane and the Mermaid, Odd Girl Out, The Sea in You and More
Welcome to the first WWACommendations of 2024! We’ve had a bit of new year magic crop up because almost everyone is on a theme this round. We’re all reading about mythical water creatures, except for Masha, the odd girl out. (That’s a pun, it will make sense in a moment.) We’ve also all picked comics…
WWACommendations: Boys Weekend, River’s Edge, Bezkamp and More
August was a month of ambitious reads, and one of those funny times when we all seem to have melded into a WWAC hive mind. Everyone is reading Boys Weekend by Mattie Lubchansky or has it on hold at the library. Everyone is also reading River’s Edge by Kyoko Okazaki or waiting for it at…

Previously on Comics: Unholy Digital Dealings
Good morning! Oh right, it’s Halloween. Pretend I said that in a Vincent Price imitation. Anyway, here’s the news! James Gunn and Peter Safran are set to lead DC Studios going forward, according to THR. This is presumably in the wake of Gunn’s successful The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, both of which were highlights for both DC…
Previously on Comics: Webtoon Drama Highlights Pay Disparity for Creators
Hello and welcome to another Previously on Comics! Kate here, catching up with the rest of you on everything that’s been going on this week. I had movers come on Sunday and had to skip Rose City Comic Con and it feels like this past week was just a blur. Happy SPX to everyone who…
REVIEW: I Am Totally Weak For Wayne Family Adventures
I am a simple woman who enjoys found family dynamics. Batman: Wayne Family Adventures, DC’s popular digital comic series which has found a home on Webtoon, has this in spades. Taking all of Bruce’s children and plopping them into a world where every single member of the family is currently alive and actively battling the…
