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.

Titles like Lumberjanes, Sex Criminals, Teen Dog, Wicked + Divine, Bee and Puppycat, Saga, the Boom Box 2014 Mix Tape, Zero… I think you get the point. Many of the best monthly titles are being produced by these two companies, and I would argue that […]
