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 […]
52 Pickup: What DC Could Learn from Marvel
Confession time: the last DC title I bought on a regular basis was Dial H. It was cancelled almost a year ago. I hadn’t really thought about this until today, when I was reading the AV Club’s comics reviews round-up and was blown away by Oliver Sava’s description of DC’s new weekly event comic Futures End, a series seemingly […]
I’m Sorry You Were Offended: What is Macklemore Actually Apologizing For?
If you’ve spent any time on-line at all today, you’re likely already inundated with think pieces, reaction editorials and general social media responses to Macklemore’s EMP performance on Friday. To recap, Macklemore showed for a party at Seattle’s Experience Music Project in “disguise” as what appeared to be an anti-Semitic caricature. Decked out in a moptop […]
Adventures in the Floating World: Gantz
Once a month, Nick Hanover educates himself on manga by going on Adventures in the Floating World, learning about series he has missed out on over the years. This month, he digs into the bizarre sci-fi horror series Gantz, which debuted in Weekly Young Jump in Japan in 2000 and has been reprinted in North America since 2008 […]
Box Brown, Andre Giant, and Wrestling Reality
Every single professional wrestling enthusiast has heard the question, ”Isn’t it fake?” Or, if they’re being a dick, “You know it’s fake, right?” Sometimes, if you ask, you might just get slapped across the face. If you’re talking to me, you’ll get a complex response*. Yes, the outcomes are predetermined. And yes, they’re not really […]

In Panel Panopticon, Nick Hanover and friends talk about the comics they’ve picked up for the week, good, bad or otherwise. This week, the best series on the market is an Archie zombie story, while a man with tentacle arms kicks some ass in a new Dark Horse series and Marvel puts out some major […]
An Experiment in Expansion: Before I Disappear Overcomes Flaws to Showcase Talents
Adaptations are a hot commodity. It’s rare these days for any film to get made that isn’t a sequel, prequel, threequel, spinoff, book or dreaded video game adaptation. This has brought us the rise and box office domination of such entities as the Marvel universe, but also created a vacuum of original creative ideas. Two […]
Stevie Wonder to the Bullshit: Andrew Jackson Jihad’s Christmas Island is a Fourth of a Good Album
It’s always intriguing when an interesting band somehow makes one of the most uninteresting albums of 2014. Andrew Jackson Jihad– attention getting from the get go with their bonkers and frankly genius name– has long had a knack for making transgressive music while remaining silly and raw, which is something my archenemy Mac DeMarco still hasn’t […]
Terrible People, Good Comedy: Womance Wins in Fort Tilden
Everyone loves an underdog, but we also kind of love an asshole. Gone are the days of the boy scout action hero or the drama of our straight laced do-gooding protagonist. Instead an age has arisen of complex and frankly, pretty awful characters populating film and screen, characters we root for and are deeply invested in […]
