This is gonna be a bit of an obscure pop cultural Fantastic Bestiary rundown, but heck with it, it’s my article series and I’m doing it anyway. I’m gonna talk about the Galerians today. To start off, Galerians is a tank-control style survival horror video game for ...

I liked her. The trailer dropped and I didn't quite like the trailer, but I liked her.
Hear me out, now.
I think Halle Bailey can absolutely, 100% work as a mermaid. A little mermaid, if you like. There's just something in the way she's set up ...
CREATOR PROFILE: John Byrne

JOHN BYRNE
When I first became seriously interested in comics, John Byrne was at the top of my favorite artist list. He drew many of the classic “new” X-Men books, and was the artist on that series when it first became massively popular. The stories Byrne drew (and co-plotted along ...

This Sunday we have a milestone announcement from DD member InkyMoondrop:
“Hi!”
“I figured I'd request a milestone announcement. Chapter 1 of Blessed Days will end on the 17th of September (new comics get released every Wednesday and Saturday, so it continues on the 21st). I think now is ...
Would You Hit a Girl?
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 10, 2022
So hitting a girl (or a woman) is extremely tropey. Regardless of how progressive your story is, a man hitting a woman runs a high risk of being considered lowly or less than heroic. That's because generally, women are considered weaker than men, thus an easy target. A woman ...

The Big and Small of Comedy
Banes at 12:00AM, Sept. 8, 2022
In Skin Deep, an old comedy/drama by Blake Edwards, starring John Ritter, I found one of my favorite movies for a long stretch of time. I watched it over and over. But the part everyone talked about, with the glow-in-the-dark condoms – I really didn't like that. I preferred ...
Bond villains vs. Batman villains
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Sept. 4, 2022
This is just a curious little topic that have recently come to my mind. From time to time I’ve seen people in popular media make comparisons between James Bond and Batman. First time I encountered this comparison was in an episode of Friends long ago. And I see people ...
Venting Your Frustrations Needs Elegance

So it came to my attention that J.K. Rowling has taken revenge against her ‘internet trolls’ by writing a new book called The Ink Black Heart. According to reviews (I haven't read the book) the plot of the book reflects the author's experience of mass-condemnation over her ...
