Can Mister Miracle Escape a Flawed Premise Scot-Free?

August 13, 2017 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

Content Warning: Any substantial discussion of Mister Miracle will involve the subjects of depression, suicide, and self-harm. Mister Miracle has been available for less than a week and already CBR has positioned it as the second coming to save comics from itself and Tucker Stone has knocked them down a peg or ten; that comics […]

Comics Should Be Decent: A Discourse About Discourse

December 2, 2016 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Comics Should Be Decent

Nick Hanover: The other day, Abhay Khosla mentioned Loser City in a post about why comics don’t really excite him anymore. (We were in there as an example as people he thinks are okay and still talking about the scene in interesting ways.) It’s a messy but worthwhile read about his frustrations with the industry […]

Solving the Alex Ross Problem

September 14, 2016 By Chris Jones 2 Comments

Kingdom Come Alex Ross Justice League

For lots of people, the first and most obvious artist Alex Ross gets compared with is Norman Rockwell, but I think at this point a more fitting analogue might be director Robert Zemeckis, auteur of films like Forrest Gump and Castaway: beloved by consumers and many critics, yet also one who inspires a zealous hatred […]

Supergirl Juggles “Myriad” Threads But Can’t Make Them All Stick

April 12, 2016 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl Myriad

After taking a week off to allow us all to recover from the wonderfulness that was “World’s Finest,” Supergirl is back with its penultimate episode, “Myriad.” With its finale next week, the show has a lot to get through–or at least a lot to both resolve and tease out for a potential next season (the […]

Yellowed Pages: Hell on Earth

March 25, 2016 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Hell on Earth Keith Giffen

Back in the early ’80s, Marvel started up a Graphic Novels series, releasing standalone stories and offbeat excursions in a prestige format. It took off and as is usually the case with the Big Two, DC decided to follow suit and create their own graphic novel line, starting with a couple bizarre licensed Atari comics […]

Anatomy of a Prologue Pt. 1: Sub-Diego Embraces the Sounds of Silence

October 7, 2015 By Mark Stack Leave a Comment

The city of San Diego sunk into the ocean with issue #15 of the Aquaman series that ran from 2003 to 2006 after what one would assume was a rather demoralizing SDCC for series editor Peter J. Tomasi and series writer Will Pfeifer. The convention center along with the Gaslamp Quarter and even the zoo […]

Big Trouble In Little China - Elevator

Last week, Big Trouble in Little China artist Brian Churilla made a post on his Tumblr regarding the financial realities of making comics. He writes: So you want to be a comic book artist..? Here’s some sobering information. One year. 12 issues. 264 pages. 4 covers. […] This was a strictly work-for-hire job on a […]

One Punch Man

A bunch of comics came out in 2014 and I forgot about most of them. I read Seconds, that was good? Either way, here’s some comics I wanted to talk about as well as a few that made me think about MAJOR TOPICS in the comics world, which is a very important world indeed. COOL. […]

52 Pickup: What DC Could Learn from Marvel

May 21, 2014 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Confession time: the last DC title I bought on a regular basis was Dial H. It was cancelled almost a year ago. I hadn’t really thought about this until today, when I was reading the AV Club’s comics reviews round-up and was blown away by Oliver Sava’s description of DC’s new weekly event comic Futures End,  a series seemingly […]
