September 2, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I’m a kid of the 1980s and still a fan of good Saturday morning cartoons. One of those was The Transformers (okay good might be a loosely used term, but I stand by it) and sure, I was a little into My Little Ponies, but not like my younger sister (who btw is mom to a nephew I will mention in a bit, but as I only have the one sibling, that is redundant). When I saw that the powers that be had created a […]

Super bad. Super funny. Super (embarrassingly) relatable.

School for Extraterrestrial girls V01 1 Girl on Fire by Jeremy Whitley

September 30, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

School for Extraterrestrial girls V01 1 Girl on Fire is one of the most amazingly bad and wonderful books I have read in a while. Jeremy Whitley has included all the clichés of high school drama (best friends fighting, not fitting in, being cruel to another (even accidently), roommate issues, protesting “the man” with not-so-subtle rebellions acts, girls on fire, snooty classmates and an almost lovers feud). And it is all tied up in a book about alien girls living on Earth. You will find […]

Save Yourself

June 30, 2017 by Emmalita 1 Comment

About a year ago, I asked what comics I should look for during my first comic book store shopping experience. ElCicco suggested Princeless, an Eisner Award nominated series published by the company her husband co-owns. At the time, I had a certain amount of dollars and a long list, so Princeless didn’t make it to the register. It’s been on my list ever since. I was delighted to find I could read Vol. 1 for free on ComiXology Unlimited. I highly recommend seeking it out. Princess […]

Secret origins of fiendish pony villains

April 30, 2017 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Last month, I attended a lovely library talk about women in comics. Christina Rice, a local librarian and comics writer, talked about her work on My Little Pony comics. I’ve always been a fan of My Little Pony, but hadn’t really watched the new show. To sate my curiosity, I picked up the My Fiendship is Magic volume. These five comics explore the secret origins of five pony villains. It was interesting to see kingdoms outside Equestria, the main pony land, told from the various POVs. Beware, […]
