Which House? Witch House!
If you’re here for the vibe, this movie works really well. But if you’re here for the exposition, read the original story.

Great Comics Of 2021
Year-end “Best of” lists serve one purpose for me: call out something that I didn’t hear about, or meant to read/watch and forgot. To say the comics on this list are “the best,” maybe they are.

I won’t objectively call them “the best;” subjectively, they’re just great.
