Transmyscira: Sweet 2017… with Claws

Choosing precedence, legacy, and continuity as the guiding principles behind my best ofs this year left me with very little in the way of options for best series. They all point directly to All New Wolverine, which has been one of the only current monthly series over a year old that you can set your

Transmyscira: Wrapping 2017 with Snyders and Signals

At this point, it should be pretty clear that I’ve been messing around a lot with my criteria for my best of the year picks this time around. Especially in picking Mark Doyle for what he’s done up until now and Trungles for a year where he barely had a presence in the direct market.

Transmyscira: Mark Doyle and Putting the Family in the Bat-Family

Transmyscira: A Mandate for Change (or, I Won an Eisner Last Night)

I won an Eisner last night for a single page that I scripted and my best friend drew. An Eisner I share with not just her, but dozens of creators, including most of my heroes that either made me want to make comics professionally or inspired me to dig in and stay the course when
