By Jessa Phillips aka "SultryMinxZoe" | Posted on 09-05-2012

There are few strong characters of minority in comics these days, so when I saw cover art that featured a black woman in outer space, I was drawn in. Cover Art courtesy of Kromatron Comics When you turn the page to begin the adventure in Issue 1, you are immediately met with a sense of playfulness in the introduction: “Outt-Space…Outta-sight....

Another Babka? It’s a Same-Name Bing Bash!
By Hannah Hart, Ghost Dame of the Hotel del Coronado | Posted on 26-04-2012
Ciao, cats. Summer’s a-comin’ fast and the Hotel del Coronado is prepping for San Diego’s best season of sun, surf and soirées. Springtime’s sweet, but summer’s sizzling. You know we ghosties are cold all the time; even the tiniest rise in surrounding temperature is a beautiful thing. Plus, folks are up to here with their winter blues and springtime antsy pants. Ergo, it’s the best time to throw a swanky hotel riot. The only issue with a summer splurge, besides whether to host it...

PAX East 2012: Educating Through Gameplay
By Jessa Phillips aka "SultryMinxZoe" | Posted on 11-04-2012
I have always been a supporter of gaming as a resource for learning. More and more, people are taking notice of educational aspects that are inherent to certain game design and how games can be used as an entertaining way to teach concepts. One of the things I most look forward to at PAX East is the panels that feature “gaming for good.” Whether being used for charity, education, or other good works, these are always incredibly informative panels. This year I attended a panel titled,...
