About Me


Comic Widows presents articles, opinions and reviews of comics in all forms of the media: mainstream and independent print, film, television, manga and anime, gaming and on the web.
About the Comic Widows website:
Sweating the Small Stuff - Glenn Walker reviews mainstream print comics and in general just vents on the state of the industry and the lack of respect for continuity.
Panel Discussion - Rick Silva of Dandelion Studios reviews and rates individual issues, covering an eclectic mix of old and new titles from the major companies and wide range of independent publishers.
X Marks the Spot - Annette Peterson and others review the X-Men, the X-women, the X-kids, the X-villains, the whole X-shebang and all things mutant in the Marvel Universe.
Why I Love Comics - Ray Cornwall discusses how life affects comics and how comics affect his life and pretty much rambles on about anything else that strikes his fancy.
Crossover - Everything else in the world of comics that doesn't fit elsewhere on this website. Reviews, opinion, reports, humor, speculation, sarcasm, even fanfiction - find it here!
Alternation Ink - If it ain't Marvel and it ain't DC, if it's independent, alternative or just plain out there, this is where it's at.
Silver Screen Age - Comics made into movies, movies made into comics, movies about comics or anything else of vaguely cinematic interest.
Kill Your Television - Hollywood buys a comics-related property, changes it until it's unrecognizable then puts it on TV, why? Why?? We try to find out.
Partners in Crime - Comic Widows is not the only comics website on the world wide web, here's a look at everybody else.
Comic Books - Books, the ones with words and no pictures, real books, about comics, comics creators and comic book characters.
Be the Cape - Video games, role-playing games, board games, toys or just plain old-fashioned tying your mother's old bedspread around your neck and humming the Batman TV theme.
The Tangled Web - Web comics on the World Wide Web multiply everyday. Here are reviews of this bold new field that promises to be the future of comic books.
On The Road - Reviews, experiences and adventures at comic book, scifi, gaming and genre conventions all over the world. Come one, come all.
Comic Widows Chat - Transcript excerpts from chats and interviews with comics professionals and enterprising fans. Hosted by The Writers Chatroom and Fear of Writing.
Made in Japan - Comics, anime, manga and related media from the land of the rising sun and other areas of the Orient. Domo arigato Gojira and Akira.
Out of the Past - Comic books have been around for a long time and have an extensive and illustrious history. Here we pluck nuggets out that past and review them. Warning: nostalgia alert.
Paper Cuts - Little tidbits of comics news and press releases in tiny bite-sized pieces.
