The nominees have been announced for the 2024 Hugo Awards, which includes a “Best Graphic Story or Comic” category.

A poster on Reddit compiles a list with many not-unexpected choices.
I realize that’s a very loaded question — everyone’s got opinions, after all. But this list at least is based on more than one person’s opinion.
On Reddit, a poster who goes by the name ComicBookCanon put together a combined “Worst Comics of All Time” list based on several sources — including bloggers, comic news sites and even Reddit itself. Some of his sources covered specific publishers, while others covered events and story arcs. And the final list of 25 doesn’t look that surprising to me, having spent a good portion of my life reading people’s opinions of comics on the internet — although I would have guessed a different title would have appeared in that No. 1 spot.

Marvel has announced Wolverines & Deadpools, a three-issue miniseries by Cody Ziglar and Rogê Antônio that’ll debut this summer. It’ll feature both current Wolverines and both current Deadpools in a story about father/daughter bonding.
OK, I realize that may not be enough information, because when you take the multiverse into consideration, there are a LOT of Wolverines and Deadpools I could be talking about. This miniseries will feature the OG Wolverine, aka Logan, along with the former X-23, Laura Kinney, teaming up with the OG Deadpool, Wade Wilson, and his daughter Ellie Camacho (who is currently a “Deadpool” herself.)
Is that confusing? Well, here’s the cover, which shows all four of them:

Courtesy of Oni Press, we’re back with another preview of one of the stories from Cruel Kingdom #4, which arrives in stores today. It’s the final issue of the dark fantasy anthology that’s a part of their revival of EC Comics.
Today’s preview is for the story “Ye Will Be Healed,” written by Ben Winters with artwork by Brian Level. The story is about a young boy who needed healing, and after a trip to see a dark sage he comes back … different. Winter is the creator of the hit CBS TV series Tracker and worked on Marvel’s acclaimed series Legion for FX.

Two digital comics that once lived prominently on the NASA website have now been scrubbed from it in the wake of executive orders to remove all traces of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, or DEI, from government websites.
The two titles were First Woman: NASA’s Promise for Humanity and First Woman: Expanding Our Universe, which were posted to the site in 2021 and 2023, respectively. The first features the fictional story of female astronaut Callie Rodriguez as the first woman to walk on the moon. The second showed a diverse crew of astronauts exploring the moon. The comics were written by Brad Gann and Steven List, with artwork by Brent Donoho and Kaitlin Reid.
