TCAF Findings: THE NAMELESS CITY – I LOVE THIS PART – MOM BODY
Faith Erin Hicks’ The Nameless City was my major draw at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival this year. I’m an avid fan of Hicks’ work and have been following her for nearly a decade (and running into her at a TCAF every couple of years almost throughout).

Destroy All Monsters: Nostalgia, Loss, And Purple Rain
Turns out I had a few things to say about losing Prince. And, as usual, writing this made me feel better. Crank “Purple Rain” while you read this and try to get to the bottom in time for the “wooo-hooo-hooo-oooo.” It’s worth it.

Destroy All Monsters: Scarlett Johansson And Our New, Digital Plasticity
