Turn Back the Pages is a feature where I spotlight a comic that is not fresh and new. It may have come out a few months ago or even a few years ago. Maybe it was hyped and popular, or maybe it was an underappreciated gem. Whatever the case, it’ll be a great comic that’sContinue reading “Turn Back the Pages: Secret Six”

Sisterhood and Superheroes
I’m lucky enough to have two incredible sisters (one of whom also writes books that you should read), so I’m naturally interested in depictions of sisters in media. And is it just me, or are a lot of superheroes only children? Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Iron Man… The list goes on. AndContinue reading “Sisterhood and Superheroes”

10 Female Supervillains (who are Cooler than most Heroes)
Superheroines can be powerful role models for girls. They show that women can be brave, smart, and control their own stories, which is an excellent lesson for both girls and boys. I can only imagine the impact movies like Wonder Woman and comics like Ms. Marvel and Moon Girl have on kids. Superheroes have alwaysContinue reading “10 Female Supervillains (who are Cooler than most Heroes)”

The Superhero Dating Reality Show You Need to Follow
I don’t watch reality TV. It’s just not my cup of tea, but I’m starting to think I’ll be interested in anything if you throw superheroes into the mix. Case in point: The S Factor. It’s essentially The Bachelor but for superheroes, which I think is the coolest concept ever. Superheroes have a notoriously toughContinue reading “The Superhero Dating Reality Show You Need to Follow”
Turn Back the Pages: Spectacle by Megan Rose Gedris
I love when stories have circuses. From the magic and mystery of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern to the weird and eerie Dead Moon Circus in Sailor Moon, the setting has so much to offer. I can even appreciate the creepy circus aesthetic in horror movies even if I’m way too much of aContinue reading “Turn Back the Pages: Spectacle by Megan Rose Gedris”
Top comics I want to read thanks to Free Comic Book Day
You’d think Free Comic Book Day would be good for your wallet, because—you know—it’s all free. It’s rough on your wallet long-term, though, because you end up finding new series to love and spend money on. Granted, it’s not all bad, since that money goes to your local comic store, a small business that fostersContinue reading “Top comics I want to read thanks to Free Comic Book Day”
Why I Love Journals (And You Should Too)
I’m kinda obsessed with journals. It’s not my fault. There are so many gorgeous journals out there just begging to be bought, and I’m a writer. A pen and paper are tools of the trade, so buying journals is a pretty much a business expense. The thing is… I hardly ever write in them. That’sContinue reading “Why I Love Journals (And You Should Too)”
