Opening the door to a wider world of expression
A new comic from the Mother of Dragons means there are spoilers ahead for… “I’m your mom now, and I’m MAD.” It’s not unusual for people from fields outside of comics to make comics. Prose writers, singers, comedians, and actors have all taken a crack at it over the years. Some fans get angry and…
Thinking about getting away to someplace nice, perhaps near a lake, means there are spoilers ahead for… “How gentlemanly, letting me pick my own apocalypse.” One thing I often think about is how when it comes to movies, TV shows, and books I’m very genre-focused.

DC’s release of a 100-page celebration of Asian Heritage Month means there are spoilers ahead for… “Knights of the so-called Brotherhood.

The number of joking references that I’ve made to this comic recently and the fact that soup, of all things, has been in the headlines mean that there are spoilers ahead for… “I don’t know if I can stop them! You see, one of the Energy Drainers’ secret weapons is to drain the world of…

My recent discovery of a long-running YouTube channel means that there are spoilers ahead for… “Oh yeah? And what more can Ms. Expert tell us?” Several months ago, as I whiled away the hours watching videos, YouTube’s algorithm decided to take a break from trying to get me to watch videos made by incels who…
There are always those things you know, tucked away somewhere deep in your brain’s archives that you can’t immediately retrieve but that just pop out of hiding once you’re reminded of it.
