In offence re: rape

Posted by MGK Published in Writering

(Needless to say, this post might have some triggers in it for those who are concerned about such things, and I apologize to anybody for that. But I think this merits comment.) Game designer James Desborough recently wrote an article entitled “In Defence of Rape,” the gist of which is that using rape as a […]

Things I Love About Comics: Acts of Vengeance

Posted by John Seavey Published in Comics, You Should Read

As I noted about a month ago, it’s genuinely unfair for me to tell you about things I dislike without letting you have an idea of the things I like as well. After all, when Roger Ebert writes a movie review, he’s not handing down the Truth From On High; he’s just telling you what […]

Unbound

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks

Prometheus (and yes this post will have at least a few spoilers) doesn’t really work.1 However, before we say anything about how it doesn’t really work, let us list off its good points. As an Alien prequel, it is serviceable. It is beautifully shot and composed – say what you will about Ridley Scott, but […]

To be a face

Posted by MGK Published in TV, Writering

I’ve been thinking about the traditional heel/face (bad guy/good guy) dichotomy in pro wrestling for some time now. It’s interesting because it tends to be rare that a truly popular face, one the crowds will cheer like mad, starts out a face and then remains a face until they are a megastar. There are a […]

Internal logic warning

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks

See, I have a problem with this: The problem is that I know I’m going to be all “but wait, if the games don’t work when the bad guys aren’t there, do the bad guys ever get, like, time off? What if the game is on all the time?” And I know the answer is […]

Your Guide to Thunderbolts and/or Dark Avengers

Posted by Jim Smith Published in Comics, You Should Read

This week Marvel is renaming Thunderbolts to Dark Avengers, presumably to boost sales by disguising the comic as an integral part of the Avengers franchise. I’m not sure it’ll work, but Thunderbolts has always been my favorite comic book so I appreciate the effort. Since I’m concerned that Dark Avengers #175 won’t exactly be a […]

Maybe They Should Just Give Up

Posted by John Seavey Published in Comics, Film/TV, My Readers Got Comments

So last week, I made a post about women in fandom and the ways that they interact with canon. Many things were said in the comments, but one of them stuck in my mind particularly: Klytus, one of the commenters, said, “what makes me sad is that these girls could be reading the comics instead […]
