Yesterday, March 26th was one day. Unfortunately, I’m about to jump on a place to go to Wondercon, so a long thought has to wait. §Marvel Studios had been watching a bunch of chairs for over four hours. I was so busy I couldn’t join the chair, but the Beatstaff set the best record of messages on Beatslack, suggesting there is some excitement about who will appear at the end of the Avengers. My favourites: Winston Duke as Mbak and Channing Tatum’s Return as Gambit. He made his name! Image Comic Logo 2024 In a more serious issue, Image Comics…
Like many of us, Sebastian Girner woke up on Wednesday, November 6, 2024 feeling a wee bit despondent.“I’m disheartened by the state of the world,” Girner said during our Election Day-adjacent Zoom call. “I am disheartened by capitalism. I’m disheartened by a clear majority of this country. Ultimately, a large portion of the people in this country took a look at the world and decided that they don’t need to care and are going to vote for someone who actively put a gun to their head.”Unlike many of us, though, Girner has a unique coping mechanism: writing and editing comics.…
The current Daredevil series began with an arc called “Introductory Ritual” written by Saladin Ahmed, and colours by Aaron Kuder’s art and Jesus Abrutov. The first issue was released on September 13th, 2023. What’s particularly impressive about this arc is that it covers 20 issues. This is quite lengthy for comic book stories, especially for the new creative team. Daredevil is no stranger to the fierce arc. This certainly stands out in the clever use of Matt Murdoch’s seven deadly sins to torment a new life. The conclusion is finally here, but attracting readers for over a year has been…
There is a lot of hype surrounding Exquisite Corpses #1. This is a new series of two best horror comics in horror. Not only that, it launches in the first issue of 60 pages with ambitious plans that include multiple creators and card games. For these reasons alone, the series is worthy of being on the radar of cartoon and storytelling worshippers, especially since its first issue, which combined a blend of horror and action in small town America. The first issue at the comic shop on May 14th has achieved everything in ways we have never seen since Squid…
“Your invitation didn’t mention it was a Dino themed party.”The biggest struggle for Power Girls these days is caused by the title conclusion coming around the corner. The frustration is felt in the script, and in the end this affects most superhero titles. The industry is built around numbers, special covers and collections. That alone creates a ground where these comics creative teams lose energy and drive to continue the book. However, theorizing does not justify the actual content of the comic. Leah Williams appears in Power Girl #19 with her nasty writing, but it becomes a fun moment that…
“It’s okay, Supergirl won the MVP award today.”Inferno has confirmed that the new Justice League is on the job and is thriving with the unpredictability of inciting paranoia with a team of heroes. After narrowly avoiding global ecological catastrophes, the mystical Cabal directly attacks a squadron of Leaguers prepared to defend the annual G20 Summit. Inferno plays yet another unexpected game, but this time it makes you wonder where all the setups are heading for the best crossover in the world beyond the upcoming “We Are Tower” crossover.Most notable from the beginning is the use of impulses, where Wade is…

OBA Electroplating FactoryAuthor: Yoshiharu TsugaArtist: Yoshiharu TsugeTranslator: Ryan HolmbergLettering: Anna HighfishPublisher: Drawing and QuarterlyPublication date: August 13, 2024 Rating: MatureGenre: Slice of Life Manga The fourth volume of the release of Elder Tsuge’s Collected Works by Drawn and Quarterly, as well as seven stories in 1973 and 1974, experiment with more autobiographical stories inspired by the popular I-Novel genre of literary novels.
