Archie Archives Coming Out in Paperback

Want to read the very earliest Archie Andrews stories from 1941 and 1942 for a bargain price?

It contains all the Archie stories from Pep Comics #22–#38, Jackpot Comics #4–#8, and Archie Comics #1–#2. They’ve retitled the much cheaper edition Prom Pranks and Other Stories. Instead of $50, the same 200+ pages are available for $20. While bookstores are expecting the volume [...]

Squirrel Girl Gets a Novel, Plus Black Widow Book Sequel

I guess the Black Widow novel Forever Red novel did well, since Marvel Press has announced a followup, as well as four more young adult and middle-grade books due out in 2016. * Margaret Stohl’s Natasha Romanov sequel will be titled Black Widow: Red Vengeance and feature “her fellow vigilante operative, Ana Orlova… the Red Widow.” * Tom Angleberger is writing Rocket & Groot: Stranded on Planet Strip Mall, a comedy starring the fan-favorite Guardians of the Galaxy characters. * [...]

Constantine Appears on Arrow

I haven’t been watching the new season of Arrow so far, because I like thinking of him getting a temporary happy ending (as happened last year), and I’m not sure I’m ready to jump back into the drama and angst. There are four episodes so far in season 4, but the next episode, promoted in the clip below, may get me to catch up, since I’m eager to see it. As you can see, it features the guest appearance of [...]

Calvin has just been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and hearing the voice of an imaginary tiger is one of his symptoms. After his hospitalization, he finds a mission. “I just need Bill Watterson to make one more comic strip [...]

Kiss Him, Not Me! Volume 1

It’s such a pleasure to try a manga series you know nothing about and have it turn out to be hilarious! Kiss Him, Not Me! is silly but amusing, making fun of both shojo cliches and fandom. The author Junko knows the subject well, since her other works are boys’ love titles, and she talks in an end note about being an otaku. Serinuma is a chubby yaoi fangirl who spends her time at school shipping her male classmates. She’s [...]

Step Aside, Pops: A Hark! A Vagrant Collection

Kate Beaton’s new collection of her Hark! A Vagrant comics is just as entertaining as the previous, titled simply Hark! A Vagrant. Reading Step Aside, Pops is the best kind of entertainment, the kind that makes you feel smarter. It’s always a pleasure to read such witty work with such detailed cartooning. Beaton uses so many historical and literary references (in clever and well-integrated ways) that you either know what she’s referring to — in which case, you feel pleased [...]

Yukarism Volumes 2-3

Now that the premise has been established — young writer Yukari flips back and forth between now and the Edo Period, when he was a high-class courtesan — we can get down to the mystery of figuring out who else among Yukari’s new acquaintances are also reincarnated with him. There’s Mahoro, a shy classmate and fan of Yukari’s novels, and Satomi, nephew of Yukari’s housekeeper. He’s come to take his aunt’s place taking care of Yukari while she recovers from [...]

High School Debut 3-in-1 Edition Volume 5

High School Debut 3-in-1 Edition volume 5 is the final volume of the series, and it contains the equivalent of volumes 13, 14, and 15 of the single-volume run. Only volume 13 was previously published here, back in 2010. Having the volume start with a book I already read was a big help in catching up with the story of Haruna, goofy but warm-hearted tomboy, and Yoh, her “life coach” who falls in love with her. I enjoyed reading the [...]
