We've been loving Betty and Veronica: Vixens, a new look at two of our favorite comic book frenemies, Betty and Veronica, as they head up Riverdale's toughest motorcycle gang. There are some big changes coming to the book, and Archie Comics has provided us with some advance cover art, and some pretty sweet announcements!

One of the best things about Black Panther fever lately is that it's, in large part, powered by women of color. T'Challa is great as he comes into his own as a leader after the death of his father, but he'd be nothing without Ramonda, or Shuri, or the Dora Milaje. In this exclusive preview of Black Panther: Long Live the King #5, we get to spend time with a female chief named Ikoko, who does not have time for T'Challa's judgmental attitude.

A short film that centers a queer woman of color with an all-female cast and an all-female creative team? Sign me up!

We've been really excited about the upcoming Archie Comics ongoing title, Betty and Veronica: Vixens, in which Betty and Veronica are the leaders of the Vixens, the toughest motorcycle gang in Riverdale! In an exclusive essay for TMS, writer Jamie L. Rotante explains why this new comic is so important. Especially right now.

Unfortunately, Beaton's current project isn't that fun. She's launched a YouCaring crowdfunding campaign to raise money for her sister, Becky Beaton, who is currently fighting cervical cancer. As we here on this site are passionate about both Beaton's art and women's health, this hits doubly hard.

Fence is a truly unique offering from BOOM! Studios. I got to speak with writer C.S. Pacat and artist Johanna the Mad.

While Abby Howard hasn't traveled through time like the stars of her new graphic novel, Dinosaur Empire!, that's not to say she hasn't had a few adventures herself.

Clueless, the 1995 Amy Heckerling film starring Alicia Silverstone, is a modern-day classic and one of the best examples of an incisive, funny, well-crafted teen movie. If only we could revisit the world of Clueless but, like not as a reboot? More like a continuation of the story where the movie left off? Oh, we can? There's a graphic novel from BOOM! Box doing that very thing? OK, well awesome!

Did somebody say motorcycle gang?

As in other areas of pop culture, comics are beginning to deal with certain political realities and fears these days thanks to a global wave of "alt-Right" thinking. With its upcoming title, Gotham City Garage, DC Comics is putting the power to fight back in the hands of its heroines...as they ride motorcycles.

We know that Marvel's Runaways, created by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona, will soon be a live-action TV show on Hulu. However, the series is also finding new life in comic form, thanks to popular YA writer Rainbow Rowell and artist Kris Anka. With this revival, they hope to attract a wider readership to comics.

Donald Trump is known for his weird, ego-boosting, overly-aggressive handshakes but he may have met his match with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Check out the really rad cover of Marissa Meyer's newest installment of the Lunar Chronicles, Wires and Nerve, Volume 2: Gone Rogue!

We've been eagerly anticipating the launch of the new imprint from comics publisher Papercutz called Charmz, because it is entirely devoted to young, female readers, and we love it whenever the comics industry takes that demographic seriously. Well, we don't have to wait any longer, because Charmz is releasing its first three titles TODAY!

It's rare enough to read comics that feature protagonists of color, female protagonists, LGBTQIA+ protagonists, or protagonists over A Certain Age. To have a comic that captures all four of those at once is a truly rare and beautiful thing. With her upcoming, self-published graphic novel, Bingo Love, comics creator (and creator of #BlackComicsMonth) Tee "Vixen" Franklin delivers on all of those things while telling a romantic story of love across the decades.

Our friends at BOOM! have shared some exclusive preview pages with us of the latest issue of Ladycastle, and this time, there's werewolves.
