S.I.R. - A new GL sports comic coming soon from Boom! Studios!

So excited to *officially* announce that S.I.R. (aka Motorcycle Lesbians) will be out from Boom! Studios this August 14 :D

An epic, sapphic love story set against the backdrop of a massive motorcycle jousting ring. Can our ex lovers Avery and Nico mend their relationship before the perils of the motorcycle joust break them apart forever?

If you're a fan of Witch from Mercury, Revolutionary Girl Utena, or Revue Starlight - or if you wanted to see what would happen if Fight Club was reimagined as a 90's shojo anime on motorbikes - this is a comic you don't want to miss! Written/Drawn by Fell (Me!) Colors by Ele Bruni Lettered by Becca Carey Edits by Elizabeth Brei Ft. amazing variant covers by Alessio Zono and Paulina Ganucheau

YOU CAN PREORDER IT NOW FROM YOUR LOCAL COMIC SHOP!

yall don't understand how hilarious this entire bracket is to me, a person living in Victoria, Australia. I'm not kidding when I say all of the highlighted school names are either real suburbs or real high schools in Victoria (other than S.C.E.G.G.S., which is in Sydney). It's even more funny because the school I go to is on this bracket.

C.S. Pacat I see you.

(p.s. C.S. Pacat has visited my school before and I have an autograph from them.)

FCBD 2024, part 2 of 5

Romeo Vs. Juliet - So this seems to continue from the Kill Shakespeare series (hence the subtitle, "A Kill Shakespseare Adventure"). I have not read this series, so a lot here was lost on me. However, it seems to incorporate characters from many of Shakespeare's plays into one world. Obviously a lot has gone down since the first volume began back in 2010. It's interesting, though I didn't really know what was going on. I think I have at least the first volume in pdf, thanks to a Humble Bundle from years back. Time to finally read it?

Boom! Box 10th Anniversary Extravaganza - Similar to the other comic offered by Boom! this year, this one has samples of ongoing series. This time, there are four: Lumberjanes, Giant Days, Zawa, and Midas. The Zawa sample is a key moment from the first issue (I read that one, it's quite good), while the other three appear to be new. Giant Days is fantastic. It's like a sitcom in comic book form. I'm pretty sure I've read all of it, unless some new minis have escaped my notice (which is highly probable). Lumberjanes is well known, and very cute. Midas was new to me. It has a very different premise. Interesting. That's Zawa on the cover.

Conan and the Battle of the Black Stone - The last time I was really into Conan comics was when they were being published by Dark Horse. The IP roams around almost as much as the character himself. The current run at Titan Comics seems to have started fairly recently? Anyway, this FCBD issue gives you a look at the big story happening now, which has to do with a mysterious sigil that appears across time, and draws in various characters from Robert E. Howard's fiction. Some of the folks I'd never heard of. (Professor John Kirowan?) But I know that Howard wrote a lot of things besides Conan and Solomon Kane, including non-"genre" stuff like boxing stories. Pulp writers really had to grind out stories. This is written by Jim Zub, and he's written loads of good fantasy comics, so I bet this will also be fun.

Star Wars - Two stories in this one. The first one has our post-Empire Strikes Back crew of Luke, Leia, Lando, and Chewie going back to a location from that movie to rescue some rebels. It's neat, the call-outs don't feel too arbitrary (ymmv), but these stories with the main characters, set between the movies, with today's concerns about making everything fit just so, always feel hemmed-in to me. Still, it's a good read. The second one ties into the ongoing Darth Vader series. These have a little more elbow room, since Vader had little screen time in the movies, and there was little to no indication of what he got up to in between them. So we have a new character here, and a returning one that is unexpected. Even though this story is not set on Tatooine, I kept thinking that it was, because the planet is wasteland-y, and there's a cantina that would fit in there. It's not like lots of expanded universe stories haven't gone back there. I'm always at least low-key interested in the SW EU, but my reading mood hasn't taken me there in a while.

Book Review #68 of 2023--

Fence, Volume 1 by C.S. Pacat. Rating: 3.25 stars.

Read on June 2nd.

I have heard so much about this comic series that I knew I had to give it a shot. But I definitely didn’t think it would be worth it for me to purchase it before trying it. (Comics are fucking expensive.) And so I was excited when I saw that my library had it available. I think I’ve realized that I like comics/graphic novels about sports and teens/young adults. And Fence wasn’t an exception here. I really enjoyed the read. I thought it lacked the depth I want in stories, but I’ve said that about pretty much every comic/graphic novel I’ve ever read. I put a hold in for volume 2 so hopefully I get to know everyone better there and get some more background. I like the art style and the characters so far. Though, the captain at King’s Row reminds me a lot of a character from Wayne Family Adventures which was distracting. (Am I now coming up with a crossover where one of Bruce Wayne’s children goes to a boarding school and fences? Maybe.) Overall, it was fun and cute and I’m excited to keep going. I just hope I’m able to attach more to the characters in the other volumes.
