So, there you are, staring at that dreaded page with the words nobody wants to see: “I’m going on hiatus.”
Sometimes, it’s just a quick break, and you bounce back in no time. But other times… well, not so much. Don’t worry, though! I’ve got a ...

One of the world's oldest bit of sequential art (which people like Scott McCloud and Will Eisner tell us are just comics in a proto-form) was in the news recently. The Bayeux tapestry is a 70 metre long, 50cm wide embodied cloth that while not containing the panel divisions ...

Back from the Dead
Tantz_Aerine at 2:02AM, April 19, 2025
It's Resurrection Saturday today! What better occasion then than this to talk about the resurrection trope?
Usually, cancelling out a character's death is not a good thing to do in a story. It undermines the weight of the stakes involved and/or the sacrifice or seriousness of the ...
