It’s no secret that all of us at Loser City are big fans of the AV Club, and it’s equally unsurprising that the site’s recent feature Fear of a Punk Decade has caught our interest in a big way. We spoke with Jason Heller, senior writer at the AV Club, about Fear of a Punk Decade, which wraps […]
The Fault, Dear Brutus, is Not in The Fault in Our Stars
The title of what is likely the hit young adult romance of the decade—The Fault in Our Stars—is a riff on Shakespeare’s famous lines from Julius Caesar: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings. Volumes could be written about this couplet, about its implications for privilege […]
Having Your CAKE and Eating it Too
As a lifelong Illinoisan, Wizard Worlds and hotel lobby “cons” served as my only respite for the drought plaguing the midwest comics scene. Cholera-laden wells if ever there were any, I quickly learned that there were few other options than to either drive or fly a significant distance from Central Illinois or to accept the […]
Damaged Goods: What Amazon’s Battle with Hatchette Could Mean for Comics
It’s been about a month since comiXology’s decision to no longer allow in-app purchases made the comic news rounds. The story never exactly went away so much as commentators became newly distracted with things like that vague Alan Moore announcement for Electricomics, an app that appears to allow you to purchase hype. But in that same amount […]
Complicated Games: Tech Gets Humanized in Silicon Valley and Halt and Catch Fire
I grew up around computers. Not in the same “born with a smart phone in my hands” way the current generation has, I’m just old enough that when my dad forced us to get familiar with them as kids it was still a novelty. Mario taught me how to type, Oregon Trail taught me all […]
Celluloid Heroes: An Interview with Joe Ziemba of the American Genre Film Archive
Even if you don’t live in Austin, chances are you’re well aware of the passionate film culture of the city, from the multiple Drafthouses to longstanding video rental landmarks like Vulcan to the myriad film festivals. But you might be unaware that the city also houses one of the most important preservation resources in cinema, […]
Reviews in the Panel Panopticon: Trees, Doktor Spektor and C.O.W.L
In Panel Panopticon, Nick Hanover and friends talk about the comics they’ve picked up for the week, good, bad or otherwise. This week, Warren Ellis makes a triumphant return at Image, Mark Waid can’t quite make me care about an old Gold Key character and I may have found a new favorite artist in […]
View Finder: Photographer Ryan Walter Wagner
View Finder is a series in which we talk to artists about how they got started, what their experiences in their field have been like and get some stories behind some of their works. This month, we spoke with Ryan Walter Wagner, a Vancouver, BC-based photographer and musician who I’ve been lucky to call a […]
Romance, Rewind, Repeat: The Infinite Man is the Smart Time-Traveling Rom-Com You Didn’t Know You Needed
Self-acceptance is a bitch. It’s a universal human flaw that no matter how attractive, bright or confident we may be there is always something that falls far short of the personal perfection we desire. Perhaps it’s a minute doubt that we have to brush aside on occasion or a demanding, perceived flaw that can develop […]
Burn Down the Superhero Ghetto and the Graphic Novel Library
There’s a pretty good chance many of you have already seen Rolling Stone‘s “50 Best Non-Superhero Graphic Novels” list. If you haven’t, I invite you to go read it before continuing on; it’s a nice profile of some of the better work in comics. As with all such lists, even allowing them to expand to […]
