Since everyone else is on hiatus, I'm also putting myself on semi-hiatus because I'm getting ready for some summer travel next month. I'll probably post if I get some link suggestions though :)

Note to WFA Readers:

Hi everyone,

You may have noticed WFA's superhero coverage sadly petering out as this summer stretches on. This, unfortunately, is due to the fact that real life has bitchslapped Ragnell and me HARD and we're scrambling to catch up.

We can't fool ourselves anymore that the catching up is going to happen any time soon, so much to our regret we have to announce that WFA (at least the superhero coverage part) is on temporary hiatus.

As for the manga coverage, that's up to Anna. :-) If she wants to keep it up or not, we're cool with that either way.

Anyway, if all goes well, we'll see you here again in a few weeks all raring to go!
