Gatekeeping Is Good
Comic Reviews for week ending 7/23/2023
Good morning, my friend,
Last week was a barn burner on the review front. In fact, we set a personal record for the most number of reviews published in a single week. Never let it be said, we don’t give our all to give you what you want.
Unfortunately, not everyone gives their all when they should, and we have an ugly example from DC Comics to underscore that point. Check out our latest Op-Ed on the sad premier of Hawkgirl #1 and how this travesty should have been prevented.
What do you think about the legitimate practice of gatekeeping? When and where should it be applied? Leave a comment down below to have your voice heard!
Next up, I had the privilege of sitting in on the Comics Aficionados Saturday live stream to talk about the floundering state of Western Periodical Comics.
Maybe more gatekeeping applied sooner would have prevented the current state of affairs.
Give it a watch!
I know, I know. It seems like all doom and gloom, so let’s lift those spirits by taking a gander at a very long list of helpful, entertaining comic reviews.
