On Eddie Berganza and the Misperceptions of Wrongful Dismissal

November 10, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Eddie Berganza

Since it has now become public knowledge that Buzzfeed will be reporting on the Eddie Berganza situation at DC Comics, and thus might very well cause DC to finally take firm action on Berganza or at least inspire more people to demand action, it feels necessary to discuss one of the most frequently asked questions […]

Pop Rehabilitation: Constantine

June 12, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Not content to let their pop passions go unloved by the masses, Loser City staff have banded together to provide Pop Rehabilitation to the works that have been unjustly maligned and forgotten. Today Nick Hanover makes the case that Constantine is the best film DC has made this century, regardless of how hard they now try to pretend […]

No More Mancubes: In Defense of Suicide Squad

August 13, 2016 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Suicide Squad

Last weekend, the Austin contingent of Loser City got together to watch the much maligned hit Suicide Squad. Kayleigh Hughes, Chris Jones and Nick Hanover (and Dylan Garsee, who is too busy running a fancy chicken shack to participate in roundtables these days) went in with low expectations but were pleasantly surprised by the film, so […]

DC REBIRTH: Judge A Cover Not, Lest Ye Be Judged

May 28, 2016 By Mark Stack Leave a Comment

For Rebirth (a relaunch that Geoff Johns, Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics, describes as an attempt to “give back [a] sense of hope and optimism” to their output), DC Comics plans to release a series of one-shot specials for most of their ongoing books that begin launching this June. The edict for the covers of these […]

The 100 Best Comics of the First Half of the 2010s: Part Five, 20-1

December 11, 2015 By LoserCityBoss 15 Comments

100 Best Comics of the 2010s

People tend to reminisce about long gone eras, arguing that things were always better way back when. But when it comes to comics, there’s no denying that the 21st century has seen the medium explode in unprecedented and unpredictable ways. For many people, that has come primarily in the form of the advent of the […]

Supergirl 1.05 and 1.06 Reviews

December 4, 2015 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Supergirl Melissa Benoist Red Tornado CBS

Supergirl 1.05 “How Does She Do It?” and 1.06 “Red Faced” So after being pushed back a week due to unfortunate similarities to real-life events, Supergirl’s fifth/actually-fourth episode, “How Does She Do It?” aired this week. Like I said last time, the shuffle actually rather worked in the show’s favor. The only real shuffled narrative […]

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 […]

An Unnatural Graft: The Assembly-line Ableism of Cyborg #1

July 31, 2015 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Cyborg Ivan Reis David Walker

In superhero comics, there’s a constant push-and-pull between the cutting-edge and the dated. New universes are created, grow long in the tooth, and then get wiped out of existence when the company in question wants to begin a new era. This immediate churn has, for decades now, created a paradox: that while superhero comic books […]

Black Canary #1 is a Promising but Not Quite Classic Single

June 17, 2015 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Black Canary Annie Wu

If you think about it, rock stars are pretty close analogues to super heroes. They like costumes, they have outsized personalities and they’re always bickering amongst themselves. So it’s a bit weird that there are so few rock star superheroes. There’s Dazzler, sure, but that character’s origin as a Casablanca Records promotion gone wrong makes […]
