Prince of Cats
Ron WimberlyChloe Maveal @ GalaxyCon AustinFor as much as we as comic critics like to talk about comic books as an era-defying, malleable, and dynamic form of art, we haven't talked nearly enough about Ron Wimberly's 'Prince of Cats'. What a masterpiece.

Tell Me I'm Worthless
Alison RumfittChloe Maveal @ GalaxyCon AustinI sometimes have difficulty really leaning into fear when reading most horror prose but I'm working my way through @hangsawoman's "Tell Me I'm Worthless" and it's...genuinely one of the most chilling and transgressive horror novels I've ever read. Just spectacular stuff.
