The Unstoppable Blade: Why Demon Slayer Captivated the World
ntroduction When Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba first aired in 2019, few could have predicted the cultural wave it would unleash. What began as a shonen battle anime became a global phenomenon, breaking box office records and inspiring fans from Tokyo to New York.

Frank Miller's Ronin
Frank Miller, like Alan Moore, R. Crumb, Neil Gaiman, and a few others, is a titan in the reinvention of comics—the reboot into a new, adult-ready state of cultural being—insomuch as he literally reinvented the kooky, quirky Batman and redefined him for the world not as a wisecracking Adam West doing the “Batusi,” but as a brooding, cyberpunk anarcho-vigilante cum morally conflicted crime fighter in The Dark Knight Returns—the reverberations of which would be felt down through the decades and into the new century, the new millennium. Now, Batman is horror much, much more than humor—and even more human.

Invented Original Characters: Flea-Men
Growing up my dream job was to be a comic book artist/writer. But with very little artistic talent that dream died pretty quickly. Now I do my best to bring my characters to life using apps like factory of heroes, swordmaker, armormaker, you doodle and photo cutout. They don't always turn out looking very good but I get more excited about the concepts and stories behind the characters than how well I can make the character look good. Sometimes my characters are from cultures I am not a part of because I think it fits their story or other aspects about them. I am not a cultural expert but at the very least I hope no one is upset by me using aspects of cultures I'm not a part of and find interesting. That said below is my idea for Flea themed vampires.

Shadow is one handsome hedgehog!!!
Have you ever come across a video game character and you just thought, "Holy Sh*t! you're F**kin hot well I might as well come out and say it I am 100% guilty because I find Shadow the Hedgehog extremely attractive and I feel extremely strange about it because I am a married woman who also happens to see a fictional character that is a antihero alien hybrid no joke he's on the cover of my phone I wear his symbol on my necklace

The Echo in the Red Dust: My Martian Garden and the Memories I Carried
The air on Mars smelled of metallic dust and something faintly sweet, a scent unique to the synthetic atmospheres our habitats provided. It was not the crisp, earthy aroma of rain on fertile soil that I remembered from Earth, but after twenty years, it was home. My name is Elara, and I am a gardener on Mars, nurturing life where once there was none.

October 5, 1969. Top Story - October 2025.
There are plenty of reasons to believe that we are at the end of something. I have watched plenty of the rapture videos out there, both before and after, trying to find some practical reason as to why the chosen ones were not chosen, and they can no longer work or even commute after losing their jobs and cars. There is the growing sense that the world is losing its collective sanity - for what it was worth - with wars, protests, authoritarian governments that seem to ignore what the people want (especially if they put them in power). Things are crumbling. As the poet said, The centre cannot hold. We are doomed!

Lady Comic Book History
Hello! I am Alexandrea Callaghan the author and podcaster of Lady Comic Book History and I am here to talk about the history of women in comics. First I want to tell you a little bit about how I got into this. It was COVID, we had all been locked up for maybe a month and I decided that I wanted to start a podcast about female superheroes. Now I wasn’t really sure what that was going to look like, but as I went down the rabbit hole of existing superhero history podcasts I noticed that there weren’t any that were doing what I wanted to do, which ended up being a simple chronicle of the history of female comic book characters. So few characters actually stand the test of time and the treatment of women in comics has always been a little questionable. And I wanted there to be a clear and thorough documentation of this history all in one place. Several books and other accounts are also extremely inaccurate and I needed to clear that up. So you guys are going to get a super fast forwarded version of the book I wrote that goes into this history in an even more in depth way then my podcast does. A lot of what I do revolves around getting people to understand that media doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It does directly affect our daily lives and how we view and interact with the world. It's never just a comic or just a tv show. And it is ALWAYS that deep. I use philosophical, psychological and sociological evidence, these are things in making up, this is not my opinion. These are facts that have been true since the beginning of art and humanity. But today I only have 40 minutes to talk to you guys so we are just going pure history. I am going to take you through what I have deemed some of the most impactful and important moments for women in comics, including the women themselves. So we are starting at the very beginning in 1938.

Shona Black Fury: Unseen Cardbound Odyssey
Everybody talks about Shona: Black Fury the card game. Why? Because at its core lies something more than a set of rules or a glossy insert of illustrations. It offers a doorway into a lived, evolving story in which players become co-authors, strategists, and witnesses to a larger arc of courage, choice, and consequence. From a psychological perspective, the game taps into several deep and interlocking human needs: refuge, agency, belonging, and the thrill of shaping a narrative in real time. It invites us to experience a medieval world not merely as spectators but as active participants who decide who to trust, when to bend, and how to respond to looming darkness.

What If Comics Had Never Existed?
Imagining a world without comics is more than an exercise in cultural nostalgia; it is an opportunity to examine how a single form of expression shaped cognition, culture, and social life. Comics sit at the intersection of image and language, asking readers to perform mental leaps between static frames. Without that particular way of combining pictures and words, many familiar cultural practices and social tools would look different — sometimes subtly, sometimes radically.
