I like to think of it more as "the TV shows are becoming popular enough that I get more comics, which is great", instead.

Unless we're talking about a different book, it has nothing to do with the TV show, though. It's actually a pretty good follow up to the original story, and none of the new characters from the show are there. Mazikeen is actually the Queen of Hell.

I'm a huge fan of the original book and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. It has nothing to do with the show at all and is more about the legacy of the choices Lucifer made in the first run (esp WRT Mazikeen and Izanami) and what's happened in heaven as they reel from various scandals and betrayals.

All of TJ & Amal (minus some of the mini-comics that are exclusively in print) are available online, and In PDF form at Iron Circus's store. I know not everyone likes reading things on computers/tablets, but I cannot recommend that book enough; last year not only did I review it, but I put it on two "best of" lists. …

I stumbled across Weaver on a forum that shall remain nameless when she was doing a lot of Samurai Champloo fan art, and only rediscovered TJ & Amal years later. Watching that comic grow and hearing that one of my favorite publishers was putting out an omnibus was like Christmas morning for me.

The Annunciation is legitimately one of my favorite short comics of all time, I couldn't imagine writing this piece and NOT putting the art in there.

"Only librarians, teachers, and the parents of tweens are in on it."
I don't agree with that assessment at all. As I said in my piece, when you talk to women who make comics, especially those in small press/self publishing, they're all very aware of what Telgemeier's doing and her successes. The average…

I really, really wish I'd had this book when I was going through all my dental surgery. I've preemptively given it to a slew of parents with young kids, along with Smile and Drama.

Bendis might be willing to have a conversation, but Brevoort and Alonso certainly aren't. I can't lay all the blame on him.

No, he didn't, but that's why I want him to come back. He rejected being a superhero AND being a sidekick. I'm hoping he's like…a kid's therapist or something in a medium sized town in Minnesota.

I still want somebody to talk about how frequently Marvel turns to "killing teenagers" as plot device without resolution. Were is Patriot these days?

I also love how he mentioned wanting to use Carol & Tony's substance abuse issues as a potential alternative conflict, as if alcoholism is equivalent to killing off one of the few truly positive portrayals of a black man in comics.

Every single interview that guy has given since they offed Rhodey, he's talked about the fact that he has kids that aren't white. I'm SUPER uncomfortable with a white guy leaning on his adopted kids to prove to people he's not racist and understands the nuance/importance of what he's doing, especially since he…

Looking at all the upcoming covers, I'm getting increasingly uncomfortable with the "young POC attacking an older white person" theme they've been going with. There are so few POC involved in this story and I have zero trust in Bendis et al to handle this in a way that's not deeply racist.

I'm still hoping they're gonna Dallas all of us. The entire Civil War II storyline will actually be a vision that Ulysses is having, and in the final issue it'll be "all just a dream."

I'll admit I debated with myself about this one, but I feel like your definition is limited to the Robins, Speedy, and Golden Age Bucky Barnes. Wonder Girl wasn't training with Wonder Woman…many of the members of the Teen Titans were never really sidekicks in that sense and there's barely any sidekicks at all in…

I'm not at all a fan of how the death itself was portrayed, though. That Carol/Rhodey pieta that literally ERASES HIS FACE in order to focus on her pain is some grade A bullshit.

Being more of a DC person myself, I always heard "Only Uncle Ben and Jason Todd stay dead" but ditto on that front.

My biggest issue with both Gwenpool and Spider-Gwen was that neither of them felt like Gwen: they both feel like Wade and Peter wearing Gwen suits. I'm always really annoyed when young female characters end up feeling like clones of popular male characters and then the book is advertised/implied to be "for women"…

Thank you so much!
