Less Talk, More Action: 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank is Held Back by Its Script

April 28, 2016 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

4 Kids Walk Into a Bank Tyler Boss Matthew Rosenberg

Despite comics being its own media language, a significant number of comics scripters operate under the curious assumption that words are the most important element of the medium. And usually the scripters that think this way seem to chiefly have non-comics influences, like Bendis and his Mamet obsession and all the sub-Bendis writers who have […]

Anatomy of a Page: We Can Never Go Home #4 Page 12, by Josh Hood, Matthew Rosenberg and Patrick Kindlon

August 28, 2015 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Comics are a visual medium, but so often criticism of the medium hinges on narrative, ignoring or minimizing the visual storytelling and unique structures that make comics so different from cinema and photography. We’ve decided to change that up with a feature that we’re calling Anatomy of a Page, in which we explore pages and […]

Advance Review: Space Riders #2 is Dayglo Beat Poetry in Comic Form

May 12, 2015 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Space Riders Cover

Dedication: For Sal and for that madman’s mad man, Dean, and for nothing stronger than black coffee I first met Fabian Rangel Jr. and Alexis Ziritt’s Space Riders not long after my wife and I split a delicious crepe drizzled with honey and walnuts and stuffed with ricotta. I had just read another duller than […]

Advanced Review: Space Riders #1

March 30, 2015 By Nick Hanover 1 Comment

Space Riders Alexis Ziritt

When I was a kid I’d always play with my toys in an orderly fashion. I got my pre-teen kicks by lining Hot Wheels up to make a traffic jam in the living room. Or staging complicated battles between army men and Transformers and giant Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. My brother and sister were different. […]

Left of the Dial: Even a Brilliant Cover Can’t Save We Can Never Go Home

March 26, 2015 By Nick Hanover 1 Comment

We Can Never Go Home Cover Michael Walsh

Covers have always been an instrumental part of comics yet I can’t think of the last time industry conversation has been so focused on the subject. Before you get to your eye rolling and ask yourself if this is going to be yet another diatribe about that piece of art involving the Joker pointing a […]

Advance Review: Mayday Wants to Watch Hollywood Burn

February 2, 2015 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

I am beginning to wonder if Curt Pires only works in trilogies. This is a question that functions on two levels. There are the series the gonzo Canadian has already scribed, with LP, Theremin and Pop functioning as a trifecta of pop music comic epics. And then there is his placement alongside Ales Kot and Grant Morrison as […]
