WWACommendations: Processing, Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees and More

Jan 16, 2025 | womenwriteaboutcomics.com | Alenka Figa

I’ve said before that I love when we’re all surprisingly in sync with our monthly reads, and wow is everyone in sync this month – except for me! Below is mostly one comic that seems to have taken WWAC’s casual reading by storm, plus two very conceptually and aesthetically different recommendations. I think it’s a very funny way to kick off 2025’s WWACommendations, and lead us into a winter break.

Jan 3, 2025 | womenwriteaboutcomics.com | Kayleigh Hearn

Welcome to Cover Girl! For this feature, we gather a team of WWAC contributors to analyze a new or recent and notable comic book cover featuring one or more women. This month, Masha Zhdanova, Kayleigh Hearn, Kat Overland, Jenna Ledford, and Emily Lauer talk about the cover of Snotgirl #16 by series co-creator Leslie Hung! Masha Zhdanova: WE’RE SO BACK!!! I am super excited for the return of Snotgirl and the toxic yuri between Lottie and Caroline.

In the following interview, WWAC talks bird puns and being an outsider in the newest Archie-verse tale – Betty and Veronica: Fairy Tales #1 by Goldie Chan. Editorial Note: A huge apology to Goldie Chan for getting this up so late! Scheduling conflicts can be such a beast!

VIZ Pubwatch: December 2024

Dec 31, 2024 | womenwriteaboutcomics.com | Masha Zhdanova

Happy holidays, VIZ fans! 2024 may be coming to a close, but I will probably continue to do this pubwatch until the heat death of the universe or I run out of spare time. Whichever comes first! This month we’re getting warm and cozy with some fluffy romance manga, as well as volume 3 of the less-than-cozy dystopian science fiction Fool Night.
WWAC Reads Books! Fantasy Romance Edition

Dec 30, 2024 | womenwriteaboutcomics.com | Emily Lauer

We’ve got a wide array of fantasy and romance for you all this time around, with an epic historical tearjerker and a thoughtful piece of progressive nonfiction to round things out!Emily: A new edition of Wheel of the Infinite by Martha Wells came out November 19th from Tor, and it may now be my favorite of her fantasy novels. I always like it when Martha Wells’s protagonists have Had Enough of Your Shit, which is why I love the Murderbot Diaries so very much.
ESSAY: How Naomi Kritzer's Science Fiction Strips Away Cyberspace

Dec 26, 2024 | womenwriteaboutcomics.com | Doris V. Sutherland

We have entered an era of AI slop. Periodicals are struggling with floods of submissions cooked up by ChatGPT rather than human imaginations, while readers downloading ebooks from Amazon are faced with the possibility of their latest purchase being the churned-out product of AI masquerading as actual creativity or scholarship. While science fiction is no more affected by this than any other genre, its duty to predict the future (albeit often through an escapist lens) puts it in a unique position.
REVIEW: Emily Tesh's Some Desperate Glory is a Space Opera for Today

Dec 20, 2024 | womenwriteaboutcomics.com | Doris V. Sutherland

Humanity has lost a war with the majoda, an interplanetary association united by an artificial intelligence called the Wisdom. Earth has been destroyed, and a space station called Gaea now houses a remnant of humanity in a rigid militaristic society.
WWACommendations: God Bless the Mistaken, Ditching Saskia, Breadcrumbs and More

Dec 17, 2024 | womenwriteaboutcomics.com | Alenka Figa

This month’s WWACommendations is a riot of emotions. Kathryn’s reading about the discomfort of grief, Emily’s got a memoir that involves funneling emotion into activism, Christa’s got a familiar recommendation that processes feelings of isolation, Kayleigh brings us a horror anthology which of course serves up a great deal of fear, and I’ve got a slice-of-life manga for you that navigates delight, curiosity, frustration and much more.

Dec 16, 2024 | womenwriteaboutcomics.com | Louis Skye

Hello from your Friendly Neighbourhood Previously editor! It’s a short round-up this week because December is busy, busy, busy.

A Year of Diana Wynne Jones: The Mid Eighties!

Dec 13, 2024 | womenwriteaboutcomics.com | Emily Lauer

In my quest to read all of Diana Wynne Jones’s books in one year, this month I read Archer’s Goon, The Skiver’s Guide, and Fire and Hemlock!I was especially excited to read The Skiver’s Guide, which I had never read before! And (so far) Archer’s Goon remains my favorite standalone of her work. It’s just so good.
