TweetWe were starting to worry that Kylie Minogue would never get to be She-Ra, an idea we’ve been unable to get out of our head for years now. She seemed perfect for the role, it’s no secret, but never took it on – prompting fans to wonder if she’d ever get to it, despite the [...]
Tweet If you want to see all the great moments of this year’s Toronto Comic Arts Festival, I recommend scrolling back through Deb Aoki’s twitter feed.
