I hadn't realised how many of the characters in NIGHTMARE NEW YORK were inspired by real people, making this interview with @kekw-writer.bsky.social & David Roach a real eye opener & a treat as a history fan (the 2nd arc is currently running in @2000ad.bsky.social): comicon.com/2026/07/15/w...

This months’ edition of “Happy Birthday, Hollywood!” by Rachel Bellwoar focuses on the Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee. Rachel’s love of Pertwee (whose birthday is July 7) shines in this fun feature that focuses on “Worzel Gummidge.” Always a must-read! Available worldwide: l.linklyhq.com/l/1utJN

I don't know if I'll ever be as cool as Jessica Harper but I do know I had the best time talking to @chloesnotscared.bsky.social about one of my favorite musicals for their podcast CHLOE'S NOT SCARED: chloesnotscared.substack.com/p/24-phantom...

Two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard is wearing a high quality mask at the start of the race. He said: “I hear already that there’s some sickness in some teams and I’ve had a history of being sick in my last two Grand Tours, so as you said: ‘Better safe than sorry.’” Great job! 👏

Tony Rayns 100% was one of those critics where seeing his name on a release would often seal the deal and be a major selling point. One of my favorite Blu-rays to feature his work is @arrowvideo.bsky.social's TAISHO TRILOGY set

SOYLENT GREEN is objectively good but upsetting sci-fi. UNEARTHLY STRANGER scratched my Outer Limits fan itch. Both are available or coming soon to Blu-ray (the former from @arrowvideo.bsky.social, the latter from @kinolorber.com). FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2026/07/07/s...

Thrilled to reveal the cover for my new book Scaredy Cats: A Devilish History of Felines in Horror out next spring from @arsenalpulp.bsky.social. Cover design by Fleck Creative.

Rachel Bellwoar's column "Happy Birthday! Hollywood" finds her examining physical media needs for a classic Hollywood figure with a birthday that month. This month, Rachel celebrates Tony Curtis’ birthday, who would have been 101 years old on June 3. Available worldwide here: l.linklyhq.com/l/1utJN

My new album is out and about! It’s short and sweet. Hopefully you’ll take a peek or listen 🎧 I’d appreciate it and if not, I’ll still appreciate you anyway for being here

Had an Asian American actor been cast as the lead then the conversation about 7 FACES OF DR. LAO could revolve around the surprisingly dark and sophisticated screenplay, but it's still a fascinating movie -- now available on Blu-ray from Warner Archive. FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2026/07/01/w...

Great news everyone! New Jersey finally passed a trans healthcare shield law. It becomes the final blue state left to pass such a law. This will help fight back against out of state subpoenas targeting gender-affirming care providers and patients. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I am a VERY newly annointed single mum and the circumstances leading to this newfound status have been really ugly - deeply unpleasant, upsetting and destabilising. If you've ever enjoyed my books, blu-ray work or horror documentaries, now is the time to help a sister out!

Sharing this again in honor of Olivia de Havilland’s birthday!

I may know nothing about skateboarding but (not unlike the HBO TV show BETTY) boy, did I enjoy the first issue of @darkhorse.com's SKATE ALI. Issue #2 comes out in July but I got to interview co-writer @samhumphries.bsky.social here: comicon.com/2026/06/30/t...

Starting in Sept, @oni-press.bsky.social are releasing a slate of @archiecomics.bsky.social titles. For more on what readers can look forward to from this collab, I got to ask series writers Ben Winters, @corinnabechko.bsky.social, & @patrickhorvath.bsky.social a few ?s: comicon.com/2026/06/30/w...

Rachel had great interview questions for me! Check it out 👇

Y’all boxd.it/f0yRFz

As someone who stills masks, @newlevant.bsky.social's Covid-conscious posts (and zine) have meant a lot to me, so when I saw they had a new graphic novel (QUEER AND HOW WE GOT HERE) I couldn't wait to read it and ask questions: comicon.com/2026/06/29/p...

I got asked some great questions in this interview with @thecomicon.bsky.social! Thru-lines between my COVID zine and QUEER AND HOW WE GOT HERE, how I organized the research, what’s up with the color palette, and more: comicon.com/2026/06/29/p...

Sad to read that renowned drag queen Akihiro Miwa has died at age 91. I wrote a little about Miwa’s time as Yukio Mishima’s muse and his starring role in BLACK LIZARD, Kinji Fukasaku’s thrilling Rampo Edogawa adaptation. www.secrethandshakecinema.com/post/i-kill-...

A knightly double feature for your consideration -- my review of @secondrun.bsky.social's KNIGHTS OF THE TEUTONIC ORDER and Universal's THE BLACK SHIELD OF FALWORTH: comicon.com/2026/06/24/m...

Our Weird Sisters: Covenant pre-order has 2 weeks left… ✨ To help us reach our goal before July 6: ✨ share this post ✨ tag a witchy friend in the comments ...and you’ll be entered into our draw to win a (witchy) mystery prize—good luck! 🖤 #giveaway #kickstarter #horrorsky #booksky #witchyvibe

Plenty of movies & TV shows touch on abortion but HOLLYWOOD DOES ABORTION shows the importance of considering these scenes collectively & what documentaries can reveal about messaging. Following its debut at Tribeca, I got to ask co-director Janet Goldwater about the doc: comicon.com/2026/06/24/t...

It's been a book series, it's been a movie. Now THE PRINCESS DIARIES is a graphic novel and I got to interview artist @bethanycrandallart.bsky.social about drawing the new adaptation: comicon.com/2026/06/22/a...

It's been a long while since I've done a physical media announcement update because my 2026 is an absolute fucking walking nightmare (don't ask!), but for those of you interested in such things, some recent additions from the past few months to follow 🧵

If a man like Byrne, who said absolutely jaw-droppingly transphobic things that I've attached here, can still be regarded as an elder statesman of comics and get high profile deals like this published, then we have a long way to come as an industry and I would be a coward not to say that.

For fans of films like Pan's Labyrinth that take a child's pov of seeing the world thru the lens of a fairy tale, THE ICE TOWER is aces & part of @severinfilms.bsky.social's new Lucile Hadžihalilović box set. Part 2 of my coverage (if EARWIG's challenging, EVOLUTION's 👍): comicon.com/2026/06/18/r...

It might be called JUST ANOTHER SUMMER but this Aug just got better thanks to @tillybridges.bsky.social & @susanlbridges.bsky.social new graphic novel from @maverickogn.bsky.social. For more on this city-girls-meet-country-crushes saga, ✔️ out this interview w/the Bridges: comicon.com/2026/06/18/p...

INNOCENCE is a film I cooled on it as it went on, but this is just part 1 of my coverage of @severinfilms.bsky.social's Lucile Hadžihalilović box set. The best (or at least my favorites) are to come in part 2. PART 1: comicon.com/2026/06/17/r...

I got interviewed by Rachel for comicon.com talking about Ladies of the Knight, translating it from web to print and about teenage Serafina's terrible hair. (Bonus, a mutual love for BFF Frances.)

For the last several years, I've had a graphic novel called SURRENDER in production. It's Trans Day of Revenge meets Twin Peaks meets Daredevil. So, for pride month, I figured I'd share this gay-tastic page from @mitkills.bsky.social and Jordie Bellaire! Coming 2027 from Image!

I wish I had discovered this webcomic sooner (it's all of my favorite things: knights, queer content, spite) but the good news is LADIES OF THE KNIGHT is getting a physical release from @oni-press.bsky.social in July & I got to ask @fionacreates.bsky.social about it: comicon.com/2026/06/11/a...

I usually stay from serial killer stories and don't know that I'll ever be a Francophile but I enjoyed Jess Franco's JACK THE RIPPER a lot more than I saw coming and @cauldronfilms.bsky.social release is impressive. FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2026/06/11/t...

Growing up I loved reading The Princess Diaries and Heather Wells series, so getting to ask @megcabot.bsky.social questions about the upcoming graphic novel adaptation of the first Princess Diaries book was surreal: comicon.com/2026/06/10/a...

For the latest season of SONG OF PHILADELPHIA Julien Suaudeau focused on David Lynch and his connection to the city (LYNCHADELPHIA) and I got to write a profile on the podcast here: www.broadstreetreview.com/profiles/hid...

Making wishes can be complicated, but asking @leeknoxostertag.bsky.social about his story for @darkhorse.com's 🧞‍♂️MONSTERS IN LOVE: A PRIDE ANTHOLOGY🧞‍♀️ wasn't: comicon.com/2026/06/09/p...

"So, in a way, humor is what saved my life, and that is political, always." For @ebertvoices.bsky.social, I spoke with the Pope of Trash himself, John Waters!

People don't come more talented than @masonalexanderpark.bsky.social & when I say THE PANSY CRAZE is one of the best podcasts I've ever listened to, I promise I'm not being hyperbolic but I might have been hyperventilating when I learned I would get to ask Park about it: comicon.com/2026/06/05/p...

The speed at which I would covet that jacket today

I refuse to spoil the title of @zoewithasword.bsky.social and @tench.bsky.social's story for @darkhorse.com's MONSTERS IN LOVE: A PRIDE ANTHOLOGY 🏳️‍🌈 but I did get to ask Tunnell some other questions ahead of the anthology's release next week: comicon.com/2026/06/03/t...

IT'S A WISE CHILD is what you go into every blind watch hoping the result will be. Available now from Warner Archive, this glorious pre-code comedy stars the incomparable Marion Davies and I got to review the Blu-ray here: comicon.com/2026/06/02/i...

If the title wasn't enough of a deal sealer, there's a character in @paultobin.bsky.social and Carlos Javier Olivares' new @madcavestudios.com series JUNK PUNCH called Joey Bagoducks and I got to ask them about him in this interview: comicon.com/2026/06/02/t...

Happy Pride Month from your local aroace auntie. Enjoy a selection of my Pride illustrations to brighten your time on this platform today.

Want to dance your cares away (the Fraggle Rock way) with a three hour French musical by Jacques Rivette? I finally reviewed UP DOWN FRAGILE and LOVE ON THE GROUND and loved them both but UP DOWN FRAGILE Is magical (and available on Blu-ray from Cohen Film Collection): comicon.com/2026/06/01/j...

Gambled on a shirt even though it wasn't my size because it was on sale and sparkly. Big mistake, or could it actually fit? The mail will reveal all.

Peter Bogdanovich's NICKELODEON sounded good on paper but not enough Stella Stevens. My review of Sony's new Blu-ray: comicon.com/2026/05/29/w...

Everytime my boss mentions the gender reveal party she's hosting (& it can never be "party", it has to be the whole phrase) I want to bring up Virginia Woolf's ORLANDO, which @julesscheele.bsky.social is adapting for @averyhill.bsky.social & I got to interview Jules here: comicon.com/2026/05/29/t...
