The most important thing that I’ve learned about comics because of this course is that they are meant to be shared, discussed, and reflected upon. For my final blog post, I would like to share three comics that I found recently at Riverby Books in downtown Fredericksburg. (If you haven’t been, I highly recommend a […]
Tales of the Unusual, by Seongdae Oh, is hosted on LINE Webtoon. It’s a collection of short stories, most of them are horror, about strange and unusual events. Unlike most webtoons, this doesn’t have an overarching plot that continues beyond the small snapshots. Each series is it’s own story, and as of yet, I haven’t […]
Hey guys, it’s Candy, coming at ya with another Black Panther post. I know there are several posts already about the movie, and while a fourth one might be a little on the “overdone” side, there is something about this movie that I wish to talk about. And that’s the subject of Black Panther being way more than […]
iZombie is a CW television series by Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero-Wright that is a loose adaptation of the comic book series of the same name by Chris Roberson and Michael Allred.

I recently saw Black Panther in the theaters last Sunday and I found it to be an incredible movie, with an amazingly talented cast. However, I have never read the comics, but love Marvel movies and am going to review this movie. I will be focusing on the women of Black Panther and how they […]
When people think of fantasy games such as D&D, people think medieval times and ages long past. They wouldn’t be wrong. Newman, one of the comics featured on LINE Webtoon, take the Dungeons and Dragon’s setting and takes it into the modern world. It focuses on Newman, a gnome, and Gwen, a Drow Elf, who […]
A few years ago, I was re-reading the webcomic Namesake, a story I had fallen out of reading as life had gotten in the way. As I was reading,one of the pages was a promotional picture for the creator’s kickstarter for a book. Interested in the outcome (since this was taking place in 2016, two […]
I can’t possibly the only person who was absolutely obsessed with The Sims! I played it all day everyday in middle school. When I would go to Target with my parents, I would always wander over to the video game aisle and look at all of the different Sims “packs.” As this semester has progressed […]
