Aw, yyyyeah. As a woman with a fairly well-developed appreciation for comics, I have to admit that I’m a bit giddy about this project. Womanthology is the collaborative effort of 140 female artists and writers ranging from industry veterans to girls planning a career in comics. The first issue, “Heroic”, will be published as a […]

The Judgement Day cultists may have been wrong about May 21st, but the apocalypse IS […]
Adidas’s Fall/Winter Star Wars collection’s newly-released ad campaign features Darth Vader, wampa and lightsabers — perfectly fitting for the Hoth-inspired designs of their new shoes and outerwear. And the jackets look so snug and warm you won’t have to spend the night in a Tauntaun, probably. (And anyway, they smell terrible.) For now, all we […]
I love tattoos, but don’t have one because I can’t ever think of anything I’d like to keep forever.
