I remember I bought The Complete Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy boxset because my son had asked to read the book. He didn’t end up finishing, so it sat on our bookcase for some time before a series of random praises from unrelated internet searches made me question why I didn’t read it in high…

This post was initially published to Goodreads on February 12, 2023. An Invitation from a Crab by panpanya Panpanya creates imaginative, often surreal stories from the little life details most others would ignore.

I think every panel needs a “Kristin Schaal.” She burst onto the stage for The Mysterious Benedict panel and singlehandly raised the energy level. Watching to her speak about the show definitely outshown everything else on Day 2, including the American Born Chinese panel (the show I’m most looking forward to watching). For all the…

Day 1 of this year’s NY Comic Con was definitely “Velma Day.” They even held an impromptu Velma contest before the panel with Mindy Kaling, excutive producer for the new show about Velma from Scooby Doo. Having experienced the fiasco of last year’s Anime NYC, I have to compliment ReedPop on how far they’ve come…
