Read MoreBest Graphic Novels and Comics About Sports
By Zack Quaintance — Comics and sports have a complicated relationship. This maybe stems back to tired and outdated bullying dynamics in schools, because I don’t know how many times I’ve heard typically older creators, say stuff like, “We’re comics people, we don’t like sports!” As if jocks versus nerds isn’t an outdated paradigm, as if everyone nowadays doesn’t watch Marvel movies; as if it were still 1988.

By Zack Quaintance — For many of us, the ongoing coronavirus quarantine and self-isolation efforts have now surpassed 30 days. I know speaking for myself, I’ve started to get a bit cagey.

Still, hope springs eternal and we persevere.
