Critical Thinking: The World’s Greatest Detective vs. the Ghetto
This installment of Critical Thinking examines why the cultural inheritance of the World's Greatest Detective makes him the ideal pioneer.

The Moon by George Akiyama is an incredible Giant Robot comic and well worth a read, very short too.

i think MAMO is destined for cult classic status. criminally underrated, but if you do bring it up, the number of people who have read and love it is always substantial

ROGUE ONE plays out like reading a wikipedia article on a topic you vaguely already know, but it's still buoyed into watchability by a charismatic cast. SOLO is just as inevitable as R1 but somehow less rote? s'okay. except the beginning which sucks. trying to be 2009's TREK chase and worse, failing

there's a new yu su that came out a couple weeks ago! much more dance forward, extra swirly. it reminds me of the new kliche ep, kind of kitchen wave, but reaching out with a softness that's more powerful than the rattle and pace

For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friend—adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.
If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....
