History
Founded in 2011, the site moved from general non-fiction prose to articles about comics, primarily small-press and independent works, and was one of the few English-language sites to cover international comics.
Akhtar also wrote articles for The Beat,[2] Forbidden Planet[3] and The Comics Journal,.[4] In an interview for The Comics Reporter, she said "It's important to be able to own your work, and it's not helpful ambitions-wise if people aren't even aware you've written it."[5]
In 2013, the site was relaunched with a new layout and header image by Isaac Lenkiewicsz.[6]
Akhtar quit the blog, announced a relaunch in 2017,[7] but abandoned it again in 2022. The site remains defunct as of 2023.[8]
