Quit Embarrassing Me: Pete Toms Explores Family Awkwardness in Dad’s Weekend

January 2, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Dad's Weekend Pete Toms

I don’t remember the exact first time my dad embarrassed me. There are too many early memories to choose from. Maybe it was the time he tried to cut my hair by himself while my mom was away and I had to get my head shaved to fix it. Or maybe it was the time […]

Questionable Comics Pete Toms

Today’s Questionable Comics pairs two of our favorite people in indie comics. Up first is Andy Warner, one of the geniuses behind the Irene anthology and a regular contributor to The Nib.

Saint, Super Mutants and One Punch Men: The Best Comics of 2015

January 6, 2016 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Best Comics of 2015

2015 was a crazy year for comics, but it was also a year of creative explosions, with the small press and digital comics spheres in particular showing off incredible material. Most of our favorite comics this year came from creators working outside the confines of the mainstream industry, with boutique presses like Nobrow and Youth […]

Language is Limited: 21st Century Communication in Pete Toms’ The Linguists

November 11, 2015 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

The Linguists Pete Toms

The last transformational conversation I had centered around openness. Seated in a 24 hour cafe after an evening spent on a festival grind, we talked about a shared grief side effect, a need to spill out info on our trauma to strangers, from first dates to cashiers at bakeries, while those closest to us remained […]

Advance Review: Mayday Wants to Watch Hollywood Burn

February 2, 2015 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

I am beginning to wonder if Curt Pires only works in trilogies. This is a question that functions on two levels. There are the series the gonzo Canadian has already scribed, with LP, Theremin and Pop functioning as a trifecta of pop music comic epics. And then there is his placement alongside Ales Kot and Grant Morrison as […]

Advance Review: Pop #1 is the Most Fun You’ll Ever Have with a Meta-Deconstruction of Celebrity

August 25, 2014 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Pop Jason Copland Dylan Todd Curt Pires Dark Horse

How fucking weird is it that Pop Art has morphed from a seemingly disposable movement to one of the most prophetic social commentaries in the modern era? Today Andy Warhol’s purposefully hollow replications of celebrity iconography look a whole hell of a lot like memes and his prediction that in the future everyone would have […]

Assassins of Pop: An Interview with Jason Copland and Curt Pires

June 24, 2014 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Pop Curt Pires Jason Copland Dark Horse

Jason Copland and Curt Pires are two of our favorite creators in comics, which is why we were thrilled to hear they were joining forces on a new Dark Horse series called Pop. A post-modern sci-fi adventure starring Elle, a literally manufactured would-be pop star on the run from her creators, Pop is a bit like The […]

Reviews in the Panel Panopticon: Study Group Extravaganza

April 17, 2014 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

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 […]
