Comics in Motion is proud to partner with Lenovations Press! Check out their high quality independent comics here. This Week, Tony is joined by writer, artist, creator and all around talented person, Brenna Thummler to talk about her forthcoming book Delicates, a sequel to the spectacular, best selling book Ghosts. Follow her on Twitter and Instagram. SYNOPSIS of Delicates Marjorie Glatt's life hasn't been the same ever since she discovered a group of ghosts hiding in her family's laundromat. Wendell, who died young and now must wander the earth as a ghost with nothing more than a sheet for a body, soon became one of Marjorie's only friends. But when Marjorie finally gets accepted by the popular kids at school, she begins to worry that if anyone learns about her secret ghost friends, she'll be labeled as a freak who sees dead people. With Marjorie's insistence on keeping Wendell's ghost identity a secret from her new friends, Wendell begins to feel even more invisible than he already is. Eliza Duncan feels invisible, too. She's an avid photographer, and her zealous interest in finding and photographing ghosts gets her labeled as different by all the other kids in school. Constantly on the outside, Eliza begins to feel like a ghost herself. Marjorie must soon come to terms with the price she pays to be accepted by the popular kids. Is it worth losing her friend Wendell? Is she partially to blame for the bullying Eliza endures? 

Following the events of Sheets, Brenna Thummler's second original graphic novel, Delicates, tells a powerful story about what it means to fit in, and those who are left on the outside. It shows what it's like to feel invisible, and the importance of feeling seen. Above all, it is a story of asking for help when all seems dark, and bringing light to those who need it most. https://www.brennathummler.com/

Episode 8- “Femme Furious”- Miss Fury

In this episode I tackle a newspaper strip character that ran from 1941 to 1952- Miss Fury! The first female super-hero created written and drawn by a female creator- June Tarpe Mills! Clad in a black leopard skin Marla Drake prowls the high rises of New York and the forests of Brazil. Miss Fury is a dense feature to which I hope I can do justice!

TV & Movie Reviews: Justice League (2017)

So before the much hyped ’Synder cut’ we decided to go back to the original 2017 Joss Wheddon directed Justice League. The Synder cut is 4 hours long so how this fairs at 2 hours we shall see.

Plot Summary:

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of meta-humans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes-Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash-it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
