Hi there! Welcome to the second installment of Yuriy’s Webcomic Corner, the world’s favourite monthly feature where I educate myself about webcomics and report back with the results. It only took me a month to cheat and write about something I’d already read before! So, without further adieu, I’d like …
Hulk is the newest release in the Marvel NOW 2.0 line of comics that have been launching for the last few months. The team behind the green hero now includes the writing by Mariko Tamaki, of Skim and This One Summer, art by Nico Leon, Matt Milla’s colours and Cory …
One of the biggest gaps in my knowledge of contemporary comics is anything and everything related to webcomics. There’s always stuff to read on my bookshelf, so I often don’t even try diving into the world of online words and pictures. I read a few: Hope Larson’s Solo, Abby Howard’s …

Hi there! I’m the new guy. How long have you been a blogger? Yash has recently told me that I’m the baby of the Book Wars team. Well, my blogging career is also baby-sized. I started putting up posts about the awesome things I find in comics on my own …
4 Kids Walk Into a Bank by Tyler Boss, Matthew Rosenberg, and Thomas Mauer is one of my favourite comics ever. To be honest, I haven’t been this stunned by a comic since I picked up Hawkeye by Matt Fraction, David Aja, and Matt Hollingsworth. 4 Kids stars Paige, Stretch, …
Disclaimer: August’s theme has proven to be a tad too difficult for me. But I found a comic that fits into July’s theme perfectly. I hope you all forgive me for writing about that instead. — If there ever was a comic that hits you with deep and important …
