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 […]

Misfit II is Martis Unruly at His Clearest and Most Ferocious

August 10, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Martis Unruly

Here in the final stretches of the second decade of the 21st century, an overwhelming murkiness is taking over art. Blockbuster films and tv shows are coated in shadows and sickly color palettes, the comics frequently inspiring them are doubling down on that and in music apocalyptic trap rules the roost. You’d think the aptly […]

Running Blood is a Thrilling Mash-Up of Vampires and Grand Theft Auto

July 12, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Running Blood comic cover

Like most grindhouse masterpieces, Jonathan Brandon Sawyer and Christopher Sebela’s Running Blood is at its best when it’s mobile, chasing a giddy, concise concept to its bloody conclusion. In this case, that concept is a vampire getaway driver, given one last job by a mysterious employer who needs a package delivered to Tijuana in exactly four […]

B L A C K I E’s Remains Channels the Collective Rage and Pain of the Oppressed

May 31, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

B L A C K I E Remains

Like a lot of Americans, I’ve spent most of 2017 tense and nervous and unable to relax, wired on the buzz of anxiety that comes from every cursory glance at the headlines. I feel like the world is ending not as a bang but as a joke and all I can do about it is […]

Garbage Night is an Expressive, Emotionally Rich Post-Apocalyptic Work

May 24, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Garbage Night Jen Lee

Given Hollywood’s propensity for revisiting classic, beloved works and giving them a twist, it’s a little odd to me that no one has rebooted Homeward Bound as a Life After People-style post-apocalyptic work. But that’s okay, because Jen Lee is nicely filling that void with her new work Garbage Night and its predecessor Vacancy. Where Hollywood would likely still […]

The Night Driver is a Stylish 21st Century Twist on The Tell-Tale Heart

May 18, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

The Night Driver

The Night Driver Script by Ken Lowery Artwork by Gavin Guidry Letters by Micah Myers There used to be this running column in my local weekly where people could write anonymous letters ranting about fellow citizens or making embarrassing confessions. Sometimes the rants would be about truly odd, one-of-a-kind experiences but the bulk of the […]

Satellite Falling is Action Packed Sci-fi with an Important Message

May 17, 2017 By Ben Howard 1 Comment

Satellite Falling

Written by Steve Horton Art by Stephen Thompson Colors by Lisa Jackson Letters by Neil Uyetake Edits by Sarah Gaydos Published by IDW Whenever I see the argument to “keep politics out of sci-fi” come up, I have an urge to point out the genre has always been on the forefront of political writing. Many […]

Below Her Mouth is Yet Another Disappointing Film About Lesbian Experiences

May 2, 2017 By Ray Sonne Leave a Comment

Below Her Mouth

Below Her Mouth, directed by April Mullen and written by Stephanie Fabrizi, is a bad film. And, by virtue of it interrupting its best sex scene through a plot point as weakly written as the rest of it, it’s barely passable as the porno it wants to be. The film opens on Dallas (played by Erika Linder, […]

Low-Budget Disaster Drama Meets High School Comedy in Dash Shaw’s My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea

April 26, 2017 By Elizabeth Brei Leave a Comment

My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea begins as any number of high school films and TV shows does: with two weirdos on a school bus, on their way to the first day of a new school year, talking about how things are going to be different. This year, people will like Dash because […]

Silicon Valley Would Be a Lot Better if it Stopped Giving White Male Mediocrity So Many Passes

April 24, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Silicon Valley HBO

For all its early promise, Mike Judge’s HBO comedy Silicon Valley has struggled to find its footing in any meaningful way. The past three seasons of the show have more or less featured the same arc, with the perpetually overwhelmed start-up Pied Piper shooting themselves in the foot every time they approach some form of success, […]
