"Much beloved kick in the crotch to online comics criticism" is the only descriptor we've ever strived for. It's going on our tombstone.

(We will, hopefully, in the future, be able to afford to invite more writers to once again join us in this fun new direction. Where better to be unhinged and immortalized than in print β™₯️)

We are stubborn and refuse to die, and are instead going to enjoy being as old school as the comics and films that we love to talk about so exhaustively and passionately.

Thank you, readers, for supporting our wonderful writers featured on the website these past two years.

It's that most wonderful time of year again (post-SDCC, exhausted, oh god) where our editor Chloe sits down to talk for far too long about far too many things with Eddie Campbell!

We love a tradition.

New interview drops next week! Stay tuned!
