Queer comic characters Storm and Yukio have had their relationship relegated to subtext, but contributor Stephanie Williams has found comfort there. The comic book medium has always been and will always be one of my favorite mediums of storytelling. The art-filled pages beautifully blend genres and often provide evidence of things left unsaid in the text, offering a chance to make an easier connection with subtext, especially when what you’re interpreting is also backed up by the art of the page.

So I Married an Axe Murderer is one of the few Mike Myers movies I missed completely growing up. Of course, I'd heard of it before, and I even remember seeing it on display at the Family Video my family frequented. All I remember thinking at the time whenever I'd see the VHS box was, "Why the hell does this guy look so gleeful if he married a murderer?" I wondered how absolutely strong this woman had to be to kill people with an ax. Have you ever chopped wood before? It's a workout.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Black horror comedy-drama anthology Tales from the Hood. It's a movie that's both a comforting and a stressful watch for me. It's also a movie that is inextricably tied to the movie Hocus Pocus in my head. Neither of those two sentences makes a lick of sense, but both are true because of the way we were introduced.

The two sides of empowerment for Black women in Lovecraft Country

By Stephanie Williams

Misha Green's HBO series, Lovecraft Country, did a great job making me feel uncomfortable through most of its first season. Much of that feeling had to do with the show's treatment of darker-skinned characters. Their story arcs and representation matter because colorism has been a longstanding issue within the Black community — while it also exists as an even bigger universal problem.

The marvelous butts of Marvel comics

Spandex became a popular material in the '80s, some 25 years after it was invented in 1958 by a chemist, Joseph Shivers. But it wasn't just Jazzercise enthusiasts who were willing participants in the spandex revolution; fictional superheroes have truly gotten maximum usage out of the stretchy material. Often in comics, the male gaze has benefited from artists doing the most when drawing female superheroes in their skintight suits.

Black Box, The Lie, and Evil Eye take on parental love

I've always had a soft spot for horror movies and the occasional psychological thriller that focus on parent-child relationships. These relationships can be extremely complex and test the limits of what it means to love someone. When I was younger, some of my greatest fears stemmed from worrying about my parents' well being. Even as an adult, I still hold on to these same fears, but now as a parent myself, a new source of those fears and worries are rooted in concern for my child.
