Elizabeth Sandifer created Eruditorum Press. She’s not really sure why she did that, and she apologizes for the inconvenience. She currently writes Last War in Albion, a history of the magical war between Alan Moore and Grant Morrison. She used to write TARDIS Eruditorum, a history of Britain told through the lens of a ropey sci-fi series. She also wrote Neoreaction a Basilisk, writes comics these days, and has ADHD so will probably just randomly write some other shit sooner or later. Support Elizabeth on Patreon.

    I've no idea if it was a direct influence on WicDiv or not, but someone, and by someone I probably mean you, really needs to write an essay on the impact of Game Of Thrones on serial storytelling: it's EVERYWHERE, and I have only the barest knowledge of it. And a lot of it is the liberating effect of – hard to say this without spoilers – surprising major developments for characters you weren't expecting them to happen to.

    Anyway, yes. Love it.

    Re. Secret Wars – I wish I didn't know that's what it was leading up to, too. I feel cheated out of the simple but very real geeky buzz of the "OMG of COURSE it's the Beyonder" moment, as the clues have been there (assuming, of course, it IS him).

    Ah, you have said the critical magical words in regards to WicDiv: "trade paperback." Consider my attention now fully gotten.

    part of the problem with stumptown is that, essentially ,is that its going to be written for the trades. which is not wrong, just a problem with the single issues. i loves me some rucka, but the writing and the art come up against a format issue that is not going to go away.

    Multiversity also seemed a bit flat to me, as well. Not bad, but… it did too good a job of recreating the hollowness of the magazines the cover was riffing on? (Insert obligatory claim that I only ever look at that sort of magazine in my dentist's waiting room here.)

    WicDev was amazing once again, of course. I think it may have played the "put the title of the issue on the last page" trick better than any other comic I've ever read… and I've read a lot of comics.
