Starting in October with issue #25, a newcomer artist will take over the internal art for Batgirl. Barbara Gordon has always been a fan favourite, but after her sudden ability to walk again, completely throwing aside almost any mention she was Oracle, is left a bit of a sour taste in the mouth.  Writer, Gail […]

I am an advocate for cosplay equality.

It’s odd to think that, after 37 years, 2000 AD are only now about to release a serial monthly comic stateside. True, they’ve had collected editions and graphic novels published internationally through various avenues over the years, most recently with IDW publishing, but this is the first time a story is being lovingly taken from […]
