Lumberjanes was/is my favorite comic of 2014. It is exceptional. I didn't expect BoomBox to come out with something so intelligent.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I got the first TPB of Rat Queens for Christmas. I enjoyed it a lot, though some of the violence was a little more than I cared for.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I've never seen a single issue send shockwaves through the comics industry the way that Lumberjanes #1 did since, like, TMNT #1.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade
Tom - how so? I remember the critical reaction being pretty positive, but nothing earth-shaking.

In the span of a few months, the number of woman-focused titles at DC and Marvel about doubled, including Gotham Academy, which is almost a clone of Lumberjanes. Marvel hired away Boom's top talent. DC did a 180°, abandoning their New 52, 1990s-style, grim-n-gritty house style in favor of lighter fare like Harley Quinn, a revamped Batgirl, Bat-Mite, etc.

I am so far behind on Sex Criminals and Lumberjanes. Dang.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

OK, a web comics question - any other Penny & Aggie fans out there, because I have become unholy obsessed with this web comic. I mean I've re-read it a dozen times at this point and can't seem to stop just because I marvel at where it started to where it finished.
Just wondering.
