Gamer Girl & Vixen in Nothing At All
Good news, everybody! My Gamer Girl & Vixen Kickstarter hit its funding goal this morning! We’re fully funded and are definitely going to make the comic this year! I’m quite thrilled. The campaign is still ongoing and will be for another two weeks, so you can all go pre-order your copy still if you haven’t already!
Now that we’ve hit our goal, we’ll be working towards hitting our first stretch goal, which will involve putting all of the free webcomics into the actual physical comic. I’ve been posting them every Friday for the past few weeks, and here’s the last one, by artist Jo Christian.
Read the comic at Global Comix.
I had a lot of fun writing this one. I had a lot of fun writing all of these mini-comics with my partner, Kristi McDowell. And we’re always having fun making these comics! So you best believe there will be more Gamer Girl & Vixen in the future!

Watch Nimona Free on YouTube!
With the Oscars coming up soon, Netflix has decided to just put the entire movie Nimona up for free to watch on YouTube. The entire thing. Just straight up, the Nimona movie! It’s nominated for Best Animated Feature and is worthy of winning, in my opinion. As much as I loved Across the Spider-Verse, Nimona would be a great underdog winner. It’s a great film!
So watch and enjoy. I loved Nimona. And a lot of people these days are cancelling their Netflix. So if you haven’t seen Nimona yet, now is your chance! Make it happen!

6 Things I Want to See in The Fantastic Four by Marvel Studios
The Fantastic Four are finally coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe! They were announced years ago, and there have been casting rumors ever since. Welp, Marvel took the reins and revealed everything in a pretty awesome Valentine’s Day post last week. We’ve got actors, costumes and a whole 1960s vibe.
Personally, I was against the idea of setting the new Fantastic Four movie in the 1960s. I still think it’s more than possible to come up with some reason why the team can fit in the modern day MCU. But now that I see that artwork and its whole vibe, I am 100% on board with whatever Marvel has planned. I trust in Marvel Studios. I’m still a big fan of everything they’re putting out. I know they will do right by the Fantastic Four on the big screen now that they can. But I still have some ideas of my own!
Join me after the jump for what I’d like to see in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four! And feel free to share your own hopes, dreams and thoughts in the comments below.

Last week was a great week for cartoon trailers. And if I was more on my game, I should have posted about these last week. That’s on me. I’m sure everybody’s already seen these trailers, but you haven’t heard my thoughts on them yet!
First up is the big one, X-Men ’97. Everybody’s been talking about this all weekend, and of course I’m excited for this show. I lived off of the original X-Men animated series, so I am here for this!
Looks wonky but manageable. Not sure bringing back the same voice cast was the best idea. Not sure whatever they’re doing with the animation was the best idea. But their heart seems to be in the right place. Seems like they’ve got some solid stories lined up, and that Daily Bugle flapping in the breeze at the start of the trailer showed Maggott and Stacy X, and if those two characters appear for real in this show, then I’m going to automatically consider it a success.
Also, I am 110% behind everything they’re doing with Morph. Making them nonbinary is a great idea. And I love their new blank face/AoA Morph look. The Morph serialized story from the original show was always really impressive to me, and I’m excited to see them as a solid member of the team now.
X-Men ’97 comes to Disney+ on March 20.
Next up is the trailer for the second half of season two of Invincible. Loved everything so far, love the comic series, so bring it on!
Looks great! I recognize some of the storylines and characters from the comics, and then there’s stuff I’ve forgotten about. I’m confident that the people behind Invincible know exactly what they’re doing and they’re going to pull it off splendidly. So everybody just keep up the good work and get it done!
Invincible returns to Amazon Prime on March 14.
Lastly, our first look at Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I loved Mutant Mayhem as much as the next person, so I’m on board with those show.
Looks fun. Looks a little cheaply animated, but I can live with that. I don’t actually know if I’ll watch this show. I haven’t watched an ongoing Ninja Turtles cartoon in a very long time. They’re mostly for kids for real. And that’s how it should be! Let kids enjoy the Ninja Turtles. But if it’s as good as the movie, I might try this out.
Tales of the TMNT comes to Paramount+ this summer.
