Katie Skelly and the Vampiric Principle of Self-Discovery

October 30, 2017 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

Fairbanks: I stopped by Katie Skelly’s table at SPX 2015 and bought a copy of… basically everything, having only seen her art and heard your glowing reviews of her work. So why don’t we start with that: what is it about Skelly’s work that causes her to stand out so prominently amid the great sea […]

11 CBR Exclusives We’re Down to Hulk If You Know What We Mean (We Mean Sex)

August 18, 2017 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

Fluid Exchange

Like so many comics lovers, we are a bunch of horny fucks here at Loser City, so we decided to count down the top 11 CBR-exclusive stories we’d bone if they were people. Because that’s normal. Totally normal. We’re not like the other sites out there, but if we have anything in common with them, […]

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 […]

Image Comics’ Plastic Makes One Wonder if the Future of the Medium is as Dead-Eyed as a Realdoll?

April 21, 2017 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

Plastic is par for the course for mainstream American comics. The only female presence on the book is the colorist, and the only women in the comic exist as mentions (the protagonist’s mother and another character’s dead wife). This is a comic that refuses to pretend: the only visual representation of a woman is a […]

Supergirl Goes To “The Darkest Place” in Episode 2.07

November 28, 2016 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

Modern superhero shows need a handful of plots to juggle and keep an audience interested from week to week, which feels like it could get a little stressful on the writers, but this past week’s episode of Supergirl — “The Darkest Place” — is an Arrow storyline, full stop. It’s not even an Arrow story from […]

Supergirl 2.05: You’ll Get Caught Up In The “Crossfire”

November 13, 2016 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

If you’ve been following Tom and I tearing into Supergirl each week here at Loser City, you’ve probably wondered where this breakdown has been for the last few days. I had something sketched out after watching the episode but life gets busy. And then the election happened, and I had basically zero drive to write […]

Supergirl Gets Queer with S2E3, “Welcome to Earth”

October 25, 2016 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

Despite breaking from CBS and migrating to its lower profile (and lower budget) home on The CW, Supergirl kicked off season 2 in a big way with what was essentially a two-part premiere that dropped a new Kryptonian (?) into the mix, guest-starred Kara’s previously absent cousin, and introduced viewers to the mysterious (and evil) […]

Power Rangers: Pink Needs To Let The Art Do More Talking

June 4, 2016 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

Like many millennials born from the mid-to-late 1980s, I had a Power Rangers phase. There was something exciting and strange about a group of teenagers — basically adults to eight-year-old me — trusted with immense power and getting to pilot gigantic robots that drew me and a ton of other kids into it; it had […]

I Liked the Lettering: Reviewing Lucifer #1

January 25, 2016 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

David Fairbanks: When DC/Vertigo/Fox announced that there would be a Lucifer television series based on the Mike Carey / Peter Gross comic series, I was cautiously optimistic. Then it was announced that the Devil would be helping the LAPD solve crimes. Somewhere in the mix, a new Lucifer series was announced. I’ve been digesting the […]

Blackbirds in September Silently Stalks the Oddities of Consciousness

January 21, 2016 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

Things we experience in our formative years, even those no longer recalled, undoubtedly leave inky stick-and-poke tattoos on how we eventually embrace the world. Those who spent their first days surrounded by a push to war and, later, in the aftermath, among the bloody bombed buildings of its brutality, wear those moments for the rest of […]
