by Michael DeLaney This article contains SPOILERS. If you haven’t read the issue yet, proceed at your own risk!

Middlewest 1 Hides Magic in Plain Sight | Retcon Punch
by Patrick Ehlers This article contains SPOILERS. If you haven’t read the issue yet, proceed at your own risk! I regularly make the claim that I "don't believe in spoilers."

Retcon Punch Signing Off | Retcon Punch
by The Retcon Punch Editors The panels above come from Gail Simone and Ardian Syaf’s Batgirl 1. This was the very first issue that we wrote about together. Our discussions were embarrassingly rudimentary then, but contained our primordial fascination with how comics inspired us. That eventually became Retcon Punch’s mission -- treat all comics like…
West Coast Avengers 4: Discussion | Retcon Punch
by Drew Baumgartner and Spencer Irwin This article contains SPOILERS. If you haven't read the issue yet, proceed at your own risk!

Daredevil 612: Discussion | Retcon Punch
by Patrick Ehlers and Spencer Irwin This article contains SPOILERS. If you haven't read the issue yet, proceed at your own risk!

William Gibson’s Alien 3 #1 Rewrites the Initial Alien Encounter for Communists | Retcon Punch
by Patrick Ehlers This article contains SPOILERS. If you haven’t read the issue yet, proceed at your own risk! Ridley Scott's 1977 sci-fi horror masterpiece Alien works because it is slow, atmospheric, and truly terrifying. Much of that terror comes from watching the various forms of an unknown alien species wreaking havoc on the crew of the Nostromo,…
Colonialism, Manipulation and Art in Darth Vader 23 | Retcon Punch
by Michael DeLaney This article contains SPOILERS. If you haven’t read the issue yet, proceed at your own risk! I have very little love for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story -- many things come off as arbitrary, but nothing more so than Darth Vader's "lava castle" on Mustafar. But as he has done since the beginning…
Ironheart 1: Discussion | Retcon Punch

Riri, exhausted from a day of inventing, superheroing, and unexpected tour-guiding, is…
