Why Marvel’s Secret Empire Messaging Matters More Than How the Story Ends

May 5, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Secret Empire

One of the most prevalent and consistent themes in books about the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany is the belief foreign powers held that it was most important to not act rashly and judge Adolf Hitler and his peers prematurely.

A Tale of Two Entitlements: Is it Fandom or Comics That is Broken?

June 3, 2016 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Last year, I wrote an editorial on Airboy and accusations of transphobia that were levied at that comic’s creators. Though I mixed in criticisms I had of Airboy from issue one, the main point I tried to get across was that the best possible strategy Airboy’s creative team could take was to listen and try to understand why fans were […]

The NSA Took My Baby Away: Fighting for Personal Freedom in Captain America: The Winter Soldier

April 4, 2014 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Captain America Winter Soldier Shield
