Beginner’s Guide to Digital Zines
One half of the beloved writer/artist team of Sister Claire has made a free zine for aspiring creators out there! It’s a quite pretty presentation akin to a slideshow that outlines the digital version of the modern zine, capturing how easy it is to create and how to promote it. It’s a very handy little

New World: An Anthology of Sci-Fi and Fantasy
Aaah… what a stupendous collection, with so many big names in comics! My favorite in this anthology ended up being Written in Stone, by Carla Speed McNeil. I ended up reading it three times back to back, and then once more before I put down the book. (I reread it when I opened the book

Darlin’
This is a short werewolf story and gods, it’s gorgeous. The linework is nice, and the main characters are great. And finding out that there’s a greater story descended from this one??? AUTHOR’S NOTE:This comic functions as a spiritual (rather than canonical/chronological) predecessor to my current long-form comic, DARLIN’ AND HER OTHER NAMES. This original comic is a loose

The Herbalist and the Landlord
Honestly, I think this counts as a zine as well. Where did I even get this? It’s a mystery.* I ended up reading it more than once— literally I read it, then read it again, and then when I went to write about it, I read it agia . It’s a short 21 pager. The

The Nib: The Death Issue
It’s a wild subject to start on, and it addresses statistics, perspectives, and the current sciences surrounding death. The comics are insightful. Funny. Not always something I agree with, but it does open up more about what people are thinking about when they approach death. The sacredness of the act of dying, the fear of

Welcome to Demon School Iruma-Kun Season 3
I feel like with every season, this show gets even better and the budget goes absolutely nuts. (spoiler videos) This season is mostly the Harvest Festival, but he do have some training montage stuff in the beginning where Iruma finally learns how to fight! Bachiko is a fun character, and we spend more time developing

Queer Code
Honestly, a big agree with Panic Volkushka on this. The sense of seeing queerness in the strange and the villainous is a big one. Included is also a nice long list of recommended films to check out as well.

That’s when she spots a

Welcome to the Menagerie.
Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.
What is M?
I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
