Yuriy January 30, 2017 Comics / Webcomics3 Comments

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.

Yuriy’s Webcomic Corner: O Human Star by Blue Delliquanti.

Yuriy December 19, 2016 ComicsOne Comment

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 …

Yuriy November 21, 2016 Comics / Review2 Comments

What do I know about roller derby? Well, I watched Whip It a few years ago. That’s about it. Thankfully, BoomBox released SLAM! the other day so now I am much more educated in all things derby. Penned by Pamela Ribon, writer of many things from Disney’s Moana to Rick …

Note: this is a repost of an article from my little comics blog. It was originally posted on November 5th, 2016. I am probably the last person to find out about this but Ngozi Ukazu’s Check Please [thanks, Yash], a webcomic about hockey and pies among other things, is top-notch. Seriously, …

I went to a Russian Comic Festival and Lived to Tell the Tale: Thoughts and Memories from Boomfest.

Yuriy October 24, 2016 Comics / IndieOne Comment

  Boomfest, an international sequential storytelling festival, took its roots in 2007 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. This year I was fortunate enough to attend the 10th annual Boomfest. Before I get to my thoughts from the actual festival, let me quickly point your attention to the festival’s venue. THIS venue. …

Review: 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank

Yuriy September 13, 2016 Comics / ReviewOne Comment

  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, …

REVIEW: THE BACKSTAGERS #1 by James Tynion IV, Rian Sygh, Walter Baiamonte

Yuriy August 30, 2016 Comics / Review5 Comments

  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 …

High School, Magic, and Ferrets: Why You Should Read Boom!Box’s Jonesy.

Yuriy July 19, 2016 ComicsOne Comment

Gather up, guys, I’ll tell you a little story. It all started with me sitting in my humble abode and thinking about fairies. The former happens all the time, the latter not so much. It went something like this: “fairies are pretty cool,” I thought to myself, “but they mostly …
