We are BACK! Welcome to 2021, #Wickling fans. It’s going to be a big year!
Wandavision drops this month, King In Black: Wiccan and Hulkling comes out in March, the Young Avengers are sloooowly creeping into the MCU and we’re back at making comics!
First thing’s first: we reached a VERY special milestone over the holidays.
ONE! HUNDRED! FOLLOWERS! Thank you to everyone who has followed, liked, commented, and shared our work. We’re so happy to have you here!
What better way to celebrate the big than with a special guest star?
Wishing you and yours a safe and happy holiday, and a bright new year!
We’re taking a short break from making comics to fully lean into the holidays (AKA playing a lot of Hades and eating cookies for days). See you in 2021!
When we started the comic we were really keen on celebrating Billy’s Jewish roots—a Hanukkah comic was a MUST.
At first we thought about telling the story of Teddy’s first celebration with the Kaplans but the idea of Tommy as the outsider struck like lightning and we couldn’t let him go.
For context: this takes place in the pocket of time after Children’s Crusade when Billy [spoilers] gives up superhero life for awhile.
IF YOU THINK TEDDY (KAPLAN-)ALTMAN IS BI, GET OFF MY PAGE AND UNFOLLOW ME!
Some characters, even ones you might consider attractive, are gay. Stop changing them! Teddy and Billy are gay, just as much as Tommy and David are bi, or how America is lesbian. I‘m tired of works and discourses where people try to actively change/fight characters‘ sexual identities.
This is still homophobia. These are minority characters that mean the world to people around the world belonging to that minority. Invalidating a minority character is invalidating the minority in real life. TEDDY AND BILLY ARE GAY.
This comic officially needs a new title. How do you forget to include Magneto in a comic called TRIAL OF MAGNETO! He legit appears in like two panels.
Why the hell does Williams think that Billy and Tommy spent their “Entire lives” defending Wanda. They didn’t even know she was their mother for most of their life. They’re like in their twenties in comic book world. They didn’t even know shew was their mom until they were sixteen. And didn’t meet her (For Tommy) until Children’s Crusade. Or met her briefly (Billy).
IF this ends up being that future Wanda killed past Wanda to change her destiny or what not, I am going to be so pissed, because that’s going to be the world’s lamest ending.
So this whole thing is the three Wanda’s. Past Present and Future. Oh wow. That’s so deep and clever.
THis entire comic is a wasted opportunity.
AND WHY THE HELL WERE BILLY AND TOMMY YELLING AT WANDA? It was completely unnecessary, especially when she hasn’t had time to process the info dump she got from the Telepaths with no common sense.
What really set me off isn’t the stupid decision to give Billy red powers, the awful storytelling, or the way they try to shoehorn a connection between Wanda and the twins, but how they screamed at here. It was brutal to see. You‘re telling ME the kids who saved and defended Wanda in the Children‘s Crusade would go and scream at her when she‘s literally having a breakdown and have this abuse be her motivation?
Tommy would never. But Billy???? no possible way would Billy, the man who constantly doubts himself, who believes in everyone, who knows how bad your mental health can get, who knows how tricky powers are, ever, EVER scream at anyone, especially not his spiritual mom. Even after he realized what Loki was planning, he still treated him with respect and treated him as a friend.
WHEN YOU WRITE A FREAKING COMIC READ A FEW FREAKING COMICS BEFOREHAND! IT‘S THE SAME WITH THE INFINITY COMIC. YOU ARE WRITING ESTABLISHED CHARACTERS. YOU GET PAID TO DO THAT! YOU CANNOT JUST CHANGE THEM HOW YOU SEE FIT. IT‘S YOUR FREAKING JOB!
Not me having ‘Agatha All Along’ as my most played song this year, just to find out in Hulkling & Wiccan: Infinity that she’s a homophobic and racist hag!
How Wiccan became friends with Northstar and Kyle Jinadu
Wiccan and Hulkling invited Northstar (Jean-Paul Beaubier), Kyle Jinadu and Iceman (Bobby Drake) to have dinner with them in space. How Wiccan came to know Northstar and Kyle is that he probably met the couple way back in Krakoaland during the Scarlet Witch incident.
