I got a box from First Second in mid-February, and when I saw that they sent me a copy of Check Please: Sticks and Scones, I wanted to cancel everything I had planned and read it immediately. I’ve both been waiting for this forever and don’t want it to end, but Bitty’s journey as a student […]

There have been many reimaginings of Arthurian legends over the years (we at The Geekiary are rather big fans of BBC’s Merlin), but none of them quite take the stance that Tom Wheeler and Frank Miller’s Cursed does.
