It’s a new week!  We’ve got podcasts, interviews, reviews, and more. For our readers in Iowa that are able to, make sure to get out to caucus tonight! It’s also the first of the month so we have demographic data coming and Black History Month, so expect coverage geared towards that too!

While you await all of that, here’s some comic book news and reviews from around the web in our morning roundup.

Atlanta Blackstar – South African Artist Diversifies the Superhero Universe with ‘Kwezi’ – Diversity is a good thing.
