Publishers seem to be moving slowly into the new year. All the regulars are here, as well as some hard covers perfect for libraries. There’s more Doctor Who love, this time direct from across the pond, with a collection of stories written by the writers from the TV series. These hard covers are a tradition […]
Finding comics with female protagonists isn’t too difficult in comics today. But finding one that won’t give girls a complex about their chests, or make them the "damsel in distress" complicates things. Girls deserve a good role model just as much as boys, and Cinebook has done just that with their series, Yoko Tsuno, an […]
Recently, I had the privilege to speak with David Petersen, the creator of Mouse Guard, an immensely popular all-ages series which has garnered him two Eisners.

Her mother has vanished and her father has stopped going to work, but Rue Silver’s not worried. Really. Only it is bothering her that she’s apparently going crazy, seeing things that aren’t there, that can’t be there. Things like faeries. Two of the great creators of dark fantasy combine their prodigious talents to kick off […]
