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 tackles the legendary Lone Wolf and Cub, an epic series that was originally published in North America by First Comics in 1987 and has more recently been […]
Fifth Street Foodie: A Final Frontier of Food
Welcome to the second entry in our Fifth Street Foodie series, a dining guide for true Austinites and by true Austinites! We hope this feature can help everyone from out-of-town “newbies” to seasoned (dry-rubbed?) veterans in their quest to find the best little dining nooks Austin has to offer.

Reviews in the Panel Panopticon: Study Group Extravaganza
In Panel Panopticon, Nick Hanover and friends talk about the comics they’ve picked up for the week, good, bad or otherwise. Most of the releases I picked up this week were either middle issues or just didn’t fully grab my attention, so fuck it, I’m dedicating this week’s Panel Panopticon to some newer stuff on […]
Aw Geez: Is the New Fargo Series a Worthy Inheritor to the Coens’ Original?
Like a lot of people, I was perplexed when I first heard Fargo was being remade as a tv miniseries (technically re-remade, since it already spawned one unaired pilot). One of the Coen Brothers’ best workers, the film doesn’t exactly lend itself to further exploration with its relatively high body count and stark ending. Beyond […]
Whatever I Feel Like: Odonis Odonis’ Hard Boiled Soft Boiled Explores Multiple Facets of Indie Rock
A little while ago, a booker I know was complaining about bands using the term “indie” when describing their genre. The booker’s point was that it’s too nebulous a term to really mean anything anymore, and a friend of mine chimed in to confirm that “indie isn’t a genre, it’s a business model.” I might […]
Advance Review: Genesis (Image Comics)
I don’t scour Previews to see how frequently it happens, but if I had to guess, the square-bound 64-page comic is a rarity these days. Complete with ISBN, this is the kind of low-priced release that is targeting the bookstore-driven sales records like New York Times Best Sellers lists with tactics that have worked pretty […]
Last Action Cinema: Last Action Hero (1993)
Action blockbusters are making a comeback in a big way, thanks mostly to their embrace of the inherent campiness of the genre as well as meta-writing that keeps the films fun but self-aware. But at Loser City, we’ve decided to look back at the end of the action era and how the films from that […]
Second Chances: Nicolas Cage Proves He’s Still Got It with Joe
It’s fitting that Nicolas Cage’s reputable acting career is getting yet another second chance through a film all about second chances. David Gordon Green’s Joe, the eclectic director’s first collaboration with the even more eclectic Cage, is a slow burning exploration of masculinity and poverty in the South based off a novel by Larry Brown that details […]
