Female leads in comics – why aren’t we doing better?
I wanna talk about female lead characters in comics. Again, I know. But it’s a thing I think about a lot. Now, this post will contain some spoilers for Amelia Cole and the Unknown World issues 1-3 because it...
Mural from Hell
This weekend at Baltimore Comic Con I found the single scariest thing in Baltimore. Well, for now. Still. There was this mural up in the convention center, over the Starbucks on the third floor. And this shit was...
Be decent human being
Because this still needs to be said: — If you assault someone – you assaulted them. They didn’t deserve it, ask for it, or anything of the sort. You did it. You. — Blaming the harassed for...
Of questions and how to answer them.
The other day, Faith Erin Hicks wrote an interesting screed (read it here) titled “Why I Will Not Draw your Comic For Free.” It had a lot of great points. It also had a bunch of things I take some...
S.H.I.E.L.D. – the theme

I want you to read comics.
This Sunday is my birthday. As such I am asking you all for something. I’m asking early, because Sunday is a sucky day to ask for things. But I am asking each and every one of you to help me out. Amelia Cole...
Toys.
There’s a certain amount of magic I miss, and that I chase down all the time to no real avail. This is also part of why I write, really but it will all be told through the use of cars. Yes, cars. Toy cars,...
