Legion of Super-Gaps
I think that monthly comic book readers are more adaptable to “jumping on” a comic series, TV show or even catching a movie halfway through.

Guest Artist: Brandon Wagner
Brandon Wagner is a comic artist, writer and proud Cincinnatian. I met Brandon through the Cincinnati Comic Creators, a monthly gathering of comic book writers, artists, illustrators, etc. Brandon's friendly, good humored, a huge manga fan and quite a talented artist.

We wer

We’re happy to introduce you to writer/editor Aiesha D. Little, who serves as the character model for Fat Mucket in the upcoming season of MeSseD! In this post, she discusses being a plus-sized Black costumer in the straight-sized-obsessed cosplay community. My journey into the weird, wild world of cosplay came by way of steampunk (aka Victorian science fiction). Eight years ago, I attended a steampunk event while researching a story and decided that I liked the visual aest
