As someone recovering from anorexia nervosa binge/purge type myself, the issue hits close to home, and sequential art was my savior during recovery.

As previously discussed, it is unlikely that Gwen was intended to be textually trans.

Jade Armstrong is back with a new graphic novel — and this time, they're burning the whole magical girl genre down to its glittery, exhausted core. The Montréal-based, non-binary cartoonist announced their next YA graphic novel, titled Magical Girl Burnout, on Instagram, sharing the finished cover art alongside a blurb from Gale Galligan, the New York Times bestselling cartoonist behind some of The Baby-Sitters Club graphic novel adaptations, who called it "a nonstop delight.

Oni Press is sending Mary Shelley's most famous creation to a Romanian castle to solve a murder. Prometheus Graft: The Slayings at Death's End #1, from writer George Northy (Yuletide, EC's Shiver SuspenStories) and Eisner-nominated artist Caitlin Yarsky (Dead Teenagers, Black Hammer), reimagines Frankenstein's monster as a gentleman detective — decades removed from his creation, scars faded, and reinvented as "Europe's most formidable mind." The premise leans hard into genre

IDW Publishing confirmed this week that a delivery truck carrying a stack of upcoming releases was involved in an accident, scattering comics across a wooded roadside and pushing several high-profile titles past their original street date. "A truck carrying our comics was in an accident," the publisher wrote in a post on Bluesky. "No one was hurt, but the comics." The line did a lot of work — grim enough to acknowledge real wreckage, dry enough to signal that the publisher kn
