Greg Rucka can almost do no wrong, which is why I’m pretty excited about Heart of Stone. It’s based on a screenplay by Rucka and Allison Schroeder and a story by Rucka. Plus, it has Gal Gadot (and this time without Ryan Reynolds). (EDIT: I LOVED HEART OF STONE and can’t wait for Snow White!)
And then there’s Nicola fucking Scott. There’s something obviously wrong with Scott.
When I was taking writing classes, I read Joan Didion and thought, oh this is it. Didion’s the shit. Why even bother trying to write when I know Didion’s already done it and nothing I do will ever be as good as her first draft on her most unmotivated day.
I can’t draw even to save my life, but if I went to school to become a painter or an artist, Scott would be my Didion. Yes, there’s something obviously wrong with Scott. She’s gorgeous and talented? Didion was also gorgeous and talented. Fucking unfair.
But I digress.

The story can be stereotypical and clichéd at times, but it has good pacing that kept me engaged. And the art? Chef’s kiss.
I heard we were supposed to get thirty books, but number sixteen came out in 2021 and none since then. I know Rucka and Scott are up to their pits with book deals and movie deals but I hope we get more Black Magick soon.
Anyway, here are the dicks and the butts so far (please excuse the womenfolk).
Dollsexposed documents full-frontal male nudity in comics and cartoons from mainstream and independent creators. The project was created in response to the longstanding imbalance in how male and female nudity are depicted in popular media.
Outside of Nerdcore, Dollsexposed creates mixed-media and miniature photography. Their work has been included in several juried exhibitions and festivals, including Tucson Erotica Art Show, Seattle Erotic Art Festival, Los Angeles Kinky Art Show, and Los Angeles Leather Getaway.
