Today in Yellowed Pages we explore the bizarre, shocking Foolkiller, a 1990 Marvel maxi-series by Steve Gerber and J.J. Birch that is either a searing condemnation of white male rage or an over-the-top anti-PC fantasy, depending on how you look at it. Mainstream comics in the early ’90s were a mess, no matter how you look […]
About Nick Hanover
Nick Hanover got his degree from Disneyland, but he’s the last of the secret agents and he’s your man. Which is to say you can find his particular style of espionage here at Loser City as well as Ovrld, where he contributes music reviews and writes a column on undiscovered Austin bands. You can also flip through his archives at Comics Bulletin, which he is formerly the Co-Managing Editor of, and Spectrum Culture, where he contributed literally hundreds of pieces for a few years. Or if you feel particularly adventurous, you can always witness his odd .gif battles with Dylan Garsee on twitter: @Nick_Hanover

Moodie Black’s Lucas Acid is an Unflinching and Powerful Album of Trans Anthems
Late into Moodie Black’s new album Lucas Acid, MB mastermind K Death growls “I ain’t really screaming/There’s no pain” and there’s a good chance you’ll think this is a lie based on what you hear around it. After all, Moodie Black are pioneers of noise rap, a subgenre defined by unholy howls, a scene with cacophony in […]
Vs #1 is a Captivating but Muddled Exploration of War as Entertainment
Almost exactly two years ago, Image Comics teased Ivan Brandon and Esad Ribic’s “space gladiators” series Vs, whetting the appetites of sci-fi fans looking for some Heinleinian exploration of military evolution to offset the wave of post-apocalyptic and cyberpunk works that had taken over the genre. That wave is still rising, if anything it’s grown larger, […]
Three Billboards and the Exploitation of Black Activism
Around the midway point of Martin McDonagh’s new film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Frances McDormand’s righteously angry Mildred heads to work, only to find a post-it note on the door from her co-worker Denise (Amanda Warren) reading “I’ve been arrested :(” Mildred is immediately aware that Denise’s arrest is because of Mildred’s war against the […]
On Eddie Berganza and the Misperceptions of Wrongful Dismissal
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 […]
Why So Angry: Refusing to Forget Stories of Abuse
If you’re outspoken online, you often get asked some variation of “Why are you so angry?” Sometimes it’s more sarcastic, an iteration of “u mad bro?” Other times it’s stated with bewilderment, pointedly questioning the expense of your energy. What’s personally always the most frustrating, though, is when it’s stated in a way that implies […]
Open Mike Eagle’s Brick Body Kids Still Daydream is a Fearlessly Self-aware Work
Successful musicians often hit a point in their careers where the more universal feelings that fueled their early work, like desperation and hunger and a need to prove yourself, fall away as they instead reflect on the alienation of fame and the touring life. Open Mike Eagle isn’t a household name yet but his career […]
Devin Faraci and the Cost of Unearned Second Chances
Not long after the major success of a campaign to host women only screenings of Wonder Woman at their theatres in an effort to make for a safer viewing experience, the Alamo Drafthouse found itself receiving intense media and fan scrutiny for a decision many viewed as actively harmful to women. Citing his passionate belief in “second […]
Winnebago Graveyard Offers Ample Thrills but Needs More Space to Tell its Story
No matter how often we took them, family trips always made me uneasy. I’d sit in the back seat imagining all the ways we could meet untimely ends, burning through books and comics that only provided further nightmare fuel. What is the American interior but a patchwork quilt of ideal murder spots and forgotten places […]
The Deuce is New York at its Ugliest and Most Captivating
Nostalgia for New York’s most decrepit years is a dangerous drug in film and tv. It emboldens creators, convincing them any half-assed idea they’ve got lying around can be brilliant if they drop it into a setting full of garbage fires, addicts and porno theatres. A simple look back at recent heavily hyped failures like Vinyl […]
