A Year of Cool Comics – Day 266
Here is the latest in our year-long look at one cool comic (whether it be a self-contained work, an ongoing comic or a run on a long-running title that featured multiple creative teams on it over the years) a day (in no particular order whatsoever)!

Gonna Change My Way of Thinking #1
This is the first in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of pieces looking at the wild world of comic book retcons (retcon being retroactive continuity, but as I will be using it here, pretty much any use of retroactive storytelling).

Before getting down to the details, here’s my summation/pull quote: “This comic is absolutely insane and completely lacking in logic. Wood and Rampson have crafted a superhero comic that embodies the [...]

Committed: Comics Soothe Adolescence
Pain, anxiety, joy, love, disgust, fear, enthusiasm, isolation, mistrust, desire… If humanity is a condition, then adolescence is a disease, in the most literal sense of the word. Dis-ease. The absence of ease. In fact the one feeling that hardly ever gets thrown around is ease.
