Any author would agree that a book tour has the potential for horror. It could be wonderful, of course — but what in human life is ever purely wonderful? There’s going to be something that goes bad. And there’s always the chance it could all go bad. Which brings us to Andi Watson’s graphic novel…
No one’s story is as smooth and clear as it looks from outside. It might seem like someone has had only success after success, rising quickly, winning awards and conquering worlds at a young age. But you’d have to ask that person what it was really like. The Fire Never Goes Ou t is a…
I go on a lot here about endings: how important they are, that it’s not a story without an ending, and especially that comics have been allergic to endings for several decades now, much to their detriment. But that still doesn’t mean I’m happy to see a long-running story that I like come to its…
I’m trying to figure out how far behind I am on Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, and it is surprisingly difficult, since this is a Marvel comic. The series ended in late 2019 with issue 58, but the trade paperbacks are still dribbling out, since they’re all slim. I believe Marvel has only managed to emit Vol….
A short break in the action opens the door to romance in an all-new official clip Justice Society: World War II. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC, the feature-length animated Justice Society: World War II, the next entry in the popular series of the DC Universe Movies, will be distributed by Warner Bros. Home…

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC…
What’s the opposite of a romance? Is there a word to describe a story about realizing you’re not in love, and that you need to get out of a relationship? We could call it “anti-romance,” but that misses the point. It would be a useful word. Maybe someone will comment to let me know it…
So this is how it goes: two years ago I had the urge to re-read Slaughterhouse-Five, possibly Kurt Vonnegut’s best novel [1]. And I did . It was still a great novel; it was still deeply sad about humanity. About a year later, a graphic novel adaptation of Slaughterhouse-Five came out. It was adapted by…
The virtual WonderCon panel examining the forthcoming Justice Society: World War II ended a short while ago and can be watched below. Headlining the panel discussion were actors Stana Katic (Castle, Absentia, A Call To Spy) as the voice of Wonder Woman, Matt Bomer (Doom Patrol, White Collar, The Boys in the Band) as Barry…
Hey, we just got a new trailer for The Suicide Squad, which will be in theaters and streaming on HBOMax August 6th! Let’s see if you can spot the BIG Easter egg. Go watch it, then come back here… All done? Fun, huh? But what Easter egg am I talking about? It’s this: In the…
Thirteen years ago, I saw this book for the first time (in an earlier edition). I was fairly late: it was published in comics form several years before that, but I did have the slight disadvantage of being on the other side of the world. I was impressed then; I’m equally impressed now. The Trese…
I am bad at reviewing books in a timely fashion. And that can lead to being bad at reviewing books, period. I’m going to keep this post short, but I reserve the right to decide it’s pointless to begin with and delete it all. (If you’re reading this, I didn’t.) 5 Worlds is a young-readers…
