Welcome to the latest instalment of my comics review column here at Skiffy & Fanty! Every month, I use this space to shine a spotlight on SF&F comics (print comics, graphic novels, and webcomics) that I believe deserve more attention from SF&F readers. This month, I’m revisiting a limited series that debuted earlier this year, and is now available as a collected volume, and a promising new limited series that’s just getting underway — Saladin Ahmed and Sami Kivelä’s ABBOTT, and Tee Franklin and Alitha E. Martinez’s JOOK JOINT #1 and 2 (This review contains spoilers!)
Today on Skiffy and Fanty, an interview with SCOURGE OF THE SEAS editor Catherine Lundoff.

Betsy shares with us a little about the story, why she decided on a blending of genres to create the setting, the way in which the religious war is more about resources and power than it is religion, what compels her to write male protoganists, and why she included a queer relationship! Then Shaun hangs out with Dax Murray, author of several queer novels, to talk about feir brand new lesbian space goddess novel (in verse!), Birthing Orion. They discuss how Dax was inspired by astrophysics, why fey decided to tell this story in verse, and about the incredible artwork in the book, then Dax shares with us what feir next project is (hint: it involves unicorns!). We hope you enjoy the episode!

So, you know how the first Blade movie was actually kind of awesome and we all went crazy for the killer daywalker with a badass cloak, giant fangs, and the most country sidekick this side of the Mississippi? Well, if you do, we implore you not to watch this one. Jen, Becca, and Paul turn a humorous, critical eye to the final film in the Blade series, Blade: Trinity. They talk character the new cast, character deaths, the Sumerian demon inspired Dracula, alien dogs, and Parker Posey in pumps. It may be a horrific hodge-podge of unfinished plotlines with representation problems, but it’s not the worst Wesley-Snipes-as-undead-guy-fighting-undead-guys movie that we’ve seen this year… We hope you enjoy the episode!
Jacey Bedford tells us about the experience of completing the Rowankind Trilogy.
