On Brandon Graham, Weaponized Loyalty and Recognizing Abuse Tactics

May 29, 2018 By Nick Hanover 5 Comments

There’s a thing that happens when time runs out for abusers. The loyalty they’ve managed to get from the people around them, the people who have been manipulated into only seeing the good, disintegrates and the protective shield it offered not only becomes useless but far more powerful of a weapon than even the initial […]

Here’s an Idea for a Funhouse: Pay the Damn Cartoonists

April 3, 2018 By Austin Lanari 2 Comments

Funhouse

Do cartoonists deserve to be paid for their labor? It’s a yes or no question. And, frankly, it doesn’t seem to be a very hard question. But I’ll give you a minute. A week before my writing this, Brooklyn comic book store Desert Island and the SoHo based Drawing Center put on an event called […]

22 Representatives Up for Reelection in 2018 and How Much They Were Paid to Vote Yes on AHCA

May 5, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

AHCA representatives

Yesterday, May 4th, the House of Representatives finally managed to pass their AHCA bill, an effort to repeal and dismantle the Affordable Care Act ushered in by the Obama administration. Out of curiosity, we decided to check OpenSecrets.org to see how many of the Representatives who voted yes for the bill received major campaign support from […]

Supergirl And Mon-El Deal With Lies And A “Distant Sun”

March 29, 2017 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl Distant Sun Teri Hatcher

Last week on Supergirl saw Kara navigate the fallout from the reveal that Mon-El is not actually a Daxamite palace guard but rather the lost prince himself and the arrival of his parents, King Lar Gand (Kevin Sorbo) and Queen Rhea (Teri Hatcher) to bring him back to “make Daxam great again.” Subtle, this show is not. […]

Supergirl Deals With An “Exodus” And A Whole MESS Of Feelings

March 8, 2017 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl deportation Exodus

Last week’s Supergirl dealt with the reemergence of Dean Cain’s Jeremiah Danvers, free after 15 years of captivity by Cadmus, only for him to turn around and steal the DEO’s alien registry with the help of his robot arm and beat the snot out of J’onn & Winn. This week’s episode, “Exodus,” not only follows up […]

‘Hamilton’ References Abound, Everyone Has Love Problems and Supergirl Tries To Avoid ‘Mr. and Mrs. Mxyzptlk’

February 21, 2017 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl Mr Mxyzptlk

So last week’s Supergirl ended on a bizarre note, with a weird portal bouncing around Kara’s apartment interrupting her & Mon-El’s first kiss. Another Flash appearance? No, not for a couple weeks. Instead, it’s a dapper British gentleman (Peter Gadlot) who turns out to be this world’s version of Superman’s goofiest foe, Mr. Mxyzptlk! An imp from […]

Supergirl Deals With Confusing Emotions and White Martians In “The Martian Chronicles”

February 21, 2017 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl

One of the subplots Supergirl has gotten some flak for this season is its decision to essentially replay the “Kara’s unrequited love for Jimmy” storyline from last year with Kara and Mon-El. It’s been a slow burn of a storyline and Melissa Benoist & Chris Wood have great chemistry but it’s drawn some criticism for being […]

Exclusive: The Full Track List of Songs Cut from Anohni’s Paradise

February 2, 2017 By Dylan Garsee Leave a Comment

Anohni

Anohni has announced a companion EP to last year’s exercise in political maximalism HOPELESSNESS. Titled Paradise, the EP contains tracks left off the record but which still maintain thematic and stylistic similarities. Containing tracks like “Jesus Will Kill You” and “She Doesn’t Mourn Her Loss,” we can expect these new tracks to be just as […]

“Supergirl Lives” In A Strong Start To The Season’s Back Half

January 25, 2017 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl

In addition to having to pick up the momentum of all of Supergirl‘s various plot threads, “Supergirl Lives” also has to deal with the show’s hiatus building up the cultural conversation around it into something a bit more than “just another superhero show.” By laying the groundwork and organically coupling up Alex and Maggie, Supergirl made a statement […]

Supergirl Has To Deal With “Medusa,” A Crossover and Some Iffy Story Beats

November 30, 2016 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl Invasion Medusa

Let’s get one thing out of the way right off the bat: I love Supergirl and the main idea it’s pushing–being forthrightly embracing of superheroes being inspirational figures of fun–and I get the sense that that’s what its sister shows are about…but I’m not caught up with them. I watched The Flash from its premiere until school & […]
