[Review] Halfway There: A Graphic Memoir of Self-Discovery by Christine Mari

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting When I was researching readings for the development of my Graphic Literature course, I picked up a handful of graphic novels from the nearby Barnes and Noble. One of the most memorable was Halfway There, a graphic memoir by Christine Mari. Long after I finished reading it, I found myself reflecting on its themes of identity, belonging, and self-acceptance. … Continue reading [Review] Halfway There: A Graphic Memoir of Self-Discovery by Christine Mari

[Review] Selling on Mercari

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting So, in 2023 and 2024 I went on what I would call a “Convention Crusade.” I went to several conventions, presented a lot, and basically went way over-budget when it came to purchasing. (It did not help that my credit limit went up right along with it!) Now—thankfully—I have some self-control and didn’t max out any cards or leave … Continue reading [Review] Selling on Mercari

[Event Review] MomoCon 2026 & The Second Academic Symposium

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Last weekend, I attended MomoCon at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, for the second year in a row. Once again, the convention drew thousands of attendees for a celebration of anime, gaming, and pop culture.

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I didn’t expect to be writing this kind of post about The Rising of the Shield Hero, but Season 4 was a pain to get through. This used to be one of my favorite shows and is one I have found genuinely engaging in the past. The premise is very interesting to me and I love most of the … Continue reading [Review] The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4: A Rough Start That Never Fully Recovers (Spoilers)

[Review] Bofuri Season 2

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow I have rewatched the first season of Bofuri: I Don’t Want To Get Hurt So I’ll Max Out My Defense countless times.

[Event Review] PokeKon Fest – Charleston, SC 2025

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting TL;DR: Overall, PokeKon Charleston felt less like a full convention and more like a small meetup. It may be enjoyable for locals, families, or collectors looking to buy cards, but it isn’t something I’d recommend planning an entire day or trip around. My Review: Last weekend, Krow and I attended PokeKon in Charleston, SC, and while I went in with … Continue reading [Event Review] PokeKon Fest – Charleston, SC 2025

[Event Review] Yama-Con 2025

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow As someone who didn’t go to cons, I am certainly making up for it now. With Yama-Con being my third full convention experience in this year alone, I’m gathering quite a familiarity with them. While Yama-Con was well reviewed by Peggy (@pswediting) last year, I feel it’s time for an update on how it was for 2025. Instead of a … Continue reading [Event Review] Yama-Con 2025
