Posted on February 18, 2017 by Administrator

The del­uge of comic book movies these days is like heaven-sent mana for a geek like myself. The sheer vol­ume alone is over­whelm­ing, and the major­ity of them hap­pen to be good. I will prop­erly con­fess that I wasn’t antic­i­pat­ing … Con­tinue read­ing →

Strip Talk #22: No fat-shaming allowed of any kind

Posted on July 19, 2015 by Administrator

Let’s be real for a moment: I am what you would call a fat girl. I’ve been fairly over­weight for a large por­tion of my adult life. It’s noth­ing I don’t already know and it’s noth­ing that I haven’t tried … Con­tinue read­ing →

Strip Talk #21: Don’t let outside opinion sway your film loves

Posted on January 25, 2015 by Administrator

Strip Talk #20: When obnoxious behavior leaks into comic books

Posted on October 4, 2014 by Administrator

Posted on July 5, 2014 by Administrator

Before we even get started, let’s not even ques­tion my TMNT legit­i­macy, OK? I am what you would call a super­fan. Check my cre­den­tials: I have most of the 1987 car­toon sea­sons on DVD, have had the theme song of … Con­tinue read­ing →

I grew up in a house­hold where Sat­ur­days were prized affairs of lazi­ness and doing absolutely as lit­tle as pos­si­ble. Mostly, we sat around read­ing romance nov­els (my mom), play­ing cards or board games or doing a lit­tle house­work well … Con­tinue read­ing →

Posted on July 6, 2013 by Administrator

I had a rea­son to cos­play once again. I usu­ally only have the urge to dress up and take on dif­fer­ent char­ac­ters once a year, and that’s because I’m going to NashiCon. My first and only anime con­ven­tion to date, … Con­tinue read­ing →
