I’m running a Spice Rack Comics Showcase on Patreon — a creator-by-creator spotlight featuring samples from every artist in the collective.

So far, I’ve highlighted:
• The Cummoner — delightfully unhinged fantasy filth
• Pixie Trix — sexy mischief wrapped in razor-sharp humor

And we’re just getting started.

By the time the dust settles, I will have shared 87 pages of NSFW comics with Patreon backers — all pulled from the massive Spice Rack sampler PDF. It’s a fantastic way to discover new creators, expand your reading list, and support the indie adult-comics community.

If you’re a Patreon backer, keep an eye out — more artists are being featured every few days, and some of these comics absolutely go places.

(And if you’re not a backer yet… this is a pretty great month to give yourself a gift.)

Indeed, she’s right.

For the last few years the Boy Wonder’s solo series had been so boring – bordering on bad – that I wouldn’t have shed a tear over its cancellation. And I hate it when series fail.

DC’s “One Year Later” event has helped give the character a new status quo, and novelist Adam Beechen (“What I Did On My Hypergalactic Interstellar Summer Vacation”) injected the book with new juice with his first issue, “Robin” No. 148.
