Today we bring you a tale of swashbuckling adventure, mystery, and romance, set in 17th century Europe.

Windrose seems to be going for a slow burn romance between two of the main characters, and I dig it. Leon loves Angeline but she's falling for Danielle. Danielle feels... ? We don't know! There was an almost kiss, but with all the kidnapping and escaping and thievery and lying... who knows what's next?!

A belated review of a gorgeous, award-winning anthology of comics about queer witches of color. I think everyone who likes magic or comics or people should read it. Because we can't stick this image in the actual review, check out a sample page here: 

The second volume of Power & Magic is funding on Kickstarter right now (7/14/17) and the first volume just won a PRISM Award. Since I've had the PDF on my iPad for a few weeks, I figured it was time to give it a read. It's... wow.

What you get for your $10 (digital) is 15 stories about queer witches of color, some more magical than others, all of them accessible and ...
