Anyone who does a graphic novel about his father’s secrets and history has a long shadow to contend with. (It’s art spiegelman’s Maus, in case you’ve forgotten.) The closer that father was to WWII, the clearer the parallels. If the father was Jewish…even more so. Now, a creator doesn’t have to engage with that at…
This is not a collection of the Squirrel Girl comic. Somehow, in 2016, while I think they were also putting out the regular comic monthly, creators Ryan North (words) and Eric Henderson (pictures) also created this unpaged-but-clearly-at-least-a-hundred-pages-long OGN as well. I’m not totally clear on where it fits into continuity, if you’re looking to read…
Edna Mode, voiced by direcotr Brad Bird, was a surprise brewakout star in The Incredibles. Of course, that meant she had to return for The Incredibles 2 which saw her bond in an amusing way to Jack-Jack. As a result, the pair star in a new short, which will be available exclusively on the home…

Ten years ago, Iron Man was released and was hailed as brilliant interpretation of a B-list hero few outside of comic shops knew. Just three years ago, Ant-Man was lauded for taking an even more obscure hero and making the same magic. Where the former’s sequel stumbled, the latter’s soared. Ant-Man and the Wasp, out…
Comics are not movies: obviously. The two forms do have some things in common, and can use similar visual language — they’re both storytelling mediums with limited space for dialogue and various ingenious ways to show time passing, among other parallels.
