WCP reviews Supergirl

Supergirl: What’s Whimsical on the Page Becomes Familiar On-Screen

The latest in the DC Comics universe is a very faithful adaptation of a very good comic book. So why is it not very good?

 by Chris Klimek June 26th, 2026  https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/787972/supergirl-whats-whimsical-on-the-page-becomes-familiar-on-screen/ 

Green Archer Comics's adaption of 'The Saint' Kickstarter open for 1 more day

Whoops, I almost missed sharing this one but there's still time.

The Saint Meets the Tiger - Simon Templar Returns!

The modern day Robin Hood returns in a 56-page comic. Based on the Leslie Charteris novel and featuring a cover from legend Mike Grell!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/greenarchercomics/the-saint-meets-the-tiger

In 1928 Leslie Charteris introduced the world to Simon Templar, The Saint. He created a passionate fandom that has lasted 95+ years and inspired so many other heroes that fell into the mould of this "Modern Day Robin Hood!" 

At Green Archer Comics, we are carrying on the tradition of that legend with a comic based on that first book, now in the public domain. The Saint is the quintessential hero, just as comfortable using his brains as his fists (and, of course, his throwing knives --  Anna and Belle). The Saint Meets the Tiger is a rip roaring adventure in the best possible way. There is mystery, intrigue, romance, lots of fighting and, because it is Leslie Charteris, some incredible one-liners. 

We are really excited to bring this comic to you. Of course, we didn't stop there. Just we did with our Green Archer Campaign, we commissioned a book cover from Clifford Cumber and are printing a pocket paper of the book as well! You can add to your collection of classic pulp literature in reasonably priced pocket paperback form! And, we even tracked down 35 copies of The Saint Meets the Tiger movie that Leslie Charteris absolutely loved so you can read the comic, the book and watch the movie all in one sitting!

The Cover

This is a big story, so we wanted to go big with the cover. And we did. Mike Grell did the ONE AND ONLY COVER for this campaign. That's right, Mike Freaking Grell created a cover for us and it is BEAUTIFUL! We love this cover so much that we created two versions of it. The regular and the deluxe for serious collectors. Oh, and Mike is going to sign 10 of them (you want to jump on that reward tier because it is going to go fast). 

That's it, we did just that cover (and a sketch cover for artists who want to draw their own version of The Saint). 

A 95+ year old legend deserves a legendary comic creator! 

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "There's No 'P' In Our Ool"

 

"There's No 'P' In Our Ool"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4279

When I first peeped that aerial shot on Reuters, it wouldn't leave my
mind.

On the one hand, it's another bucket of your garden-variety shallow-ass
Liberal pearl-clutching at seeing the Evil Orange Man giving the job of
restoring the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to a company which
contributed heavily to his campaign and which promptly turned the
project into a National Lampoon movie.

On the other hand, though – the part that wouldn't leave me after seeing
that Reuters foto – on a much deeper level than simply Trump doing his
usual nouveau-riche alcoholic country-club vulgarian shit, it was much
more symbolic of an empire in rapid decline, possibly even already at
the point where the Emperor is appointing his horse to the Senate. It
doesn't so much say something about Trump specifically as it does about
American society, culture and institutions in general.
