Opening the door to a wider world of expression
It’s a week for noticing things that I missed last week, like Eternity Girl – which I’m mostly just checking out to see if I’ll be interested in picking up in the eventual trades – and Barbarella, which I’ve since added to my pull list, and things from weeks long-past, which I only noticed I’d…
With death very much on my mind this week, in determining which book to feature in the Spotlight, I decided that I should focus on a story that puts life – or perhaps Anti-Life – at its center, and so there are spoilers ahead for… Mister Miracle #7 Writer: Tom King Artist: Mitch Gerads Cover:…
It’s a St. Patrick’s Day Showcase, free of any Irish affectations or appropriations. And free of a lot of options for me to choose from, for that matter.

Weigh In Wednesday is dead…long* live Showcase Saturday! I haven’t actually started working yet, but I decided to forge ahead with the new direction that will be forced upon me once I do start working, which means that I’ll likely do my comic shopping on Saturday mornings. That doesn’t leave a lot of time for…
One last-minute vote in the final Weigh In broke a tie, and so there are spoilers ahead for… Wonder Woman #40 Writer: James Robinson Artist: Emanuela Lupacchino, Carmen Carnero Cover: Jesús Merino Rated T $2.99 DC If I’m honest, I was hoping that it would remain a tie, in which case I would have opted…
