When I started writing about this Issue, I felt one way about it— it was a bit precocious. But as I was writing, I questioned whether it was the creators who were being precious with their story or the characters who were trying to shape their identities. www.fromcovertocover.com/iman-vellani...

Noir and the Sunset Haze of Family Memory in Iman Vellani and Marianna Ignazzi's Chachu #1

This is a young woman who, as seen through the art and the writing, exudes a coolness— she’s trying to be the niece that a long-lost uncle in L.A. would want.

We've had a dip in support for the last few months which is totally understandable since finances are looking tight for a lot of folks. But if you are feeling up for supporting an independent media site that focuses on manga, now's a good time to sign up for a yearly or monthly membership.

Manga review: Machiko Kyo’s Cocoon stresses the limits of escapism Machiko Kyo's harrowing and disarming tale of young women on the front lines of war reminds us that escapism can only go so far in the face of violence.

Harvey & Joyce's adopted daughter Danielle is trying to raise funds to deal with Pekar's raw archive; basically four storage lockers full of notes, outlines, ideas, etc. Note this is not Pekar's comics per se. Those rights have been tied up in court for years. Long, ugly story. Worth backing.

A few years ago, I read Inferno for the first time since it first came out and thought it was great. Such a dirty (in many ways) story. This crossover X-Men era is better than it has any right to be.

#EventsDearBoy 7. INFERNO (1988, Marvel) Hell hath no fury like a creator (of strong women characters) scorned. Ordered to kill off his supporting character Madelyne Pryor, Chris Claremont did so in the most rageful way possible and turned her into a fan icon
