Welcome to the final installation of “The Auditory Experience of Rapture and Columbia” Bioshock miniseries! In this three-part investigation, Paige Sammartino will sound out why this 2K Games series is music to our ears. This article contains spoilers for the Bioshock series.
Review: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue #0
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #0 Kyle Higgins (Writer), Hendry Prasetya (Illustrator), Matt Herms (Colourist), Ed Dukeshire (Letterer) for BOOM! January 13, 2016 I’m going to make something very clear first and foremost: I love Power Rangers. Maybe a little too much. I’ve been a fan since the very beginning—Saban’s Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers—as a fresh-faced chubby kindergartener,…
DC Daily Planet: Trades, Cross Overs, and Even More Rebirth
I’m sure this comes as a surprise to no one, but the Rebirth rumor mill continues to churn, as rumor mills are wont to do. And we’ll get to that, I promise. But before we go back to the anxiety-filled world of reboots and retcons, let’s take a nice detour to some pleasant things that are…
Not Scary (or Romantic or Satisfying) Enough to Tempt Me: A Review of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, based on the novel by Seth Grahame-Smith, slides the undead into 19th century England, arming the Bennett sisters against the writhing hordes of zombies taking over the countryside. Their fighting skills are as impressive as their personal fortunes are poor and it’s in this conflict that Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam…
Ten Things I Have Learned About Mental Illness from Jenny Lawson
I have been in therapy for over a decade now. I have tried a variety of medications and experienced a variety of diagnoses—mostly with the same theme: depression, anxiety, obsessive-depressive, obsessive-compulsive like symptoms, and so on. The Bloggess Jenny Lawson has depression, severe anxiety, avoidant personality disorder, occasional depersonalization disorder, self-harm issues, OCD, and trichotillomania….
Fashion Comics! Fashion SUPERHEROINE Comics? Let’s Talk About This
The world of fashion isn’t always one explored in superhero comics, but recently many writers and artists are changing that. Whether it’s designing and sewing superhero (or supervillain!) costumes, or juggling fighting crime and working in fashion, comics are exploring the industry and mechanics of garmentry. We looked at Scarlett Couture from Titan (previously covered by Wendy), Heroine Chic,…
The Thursday Book Beat: Help Marley Dias Gather #1000BlackGirlBooks
Happy February, readers! There’s lots happening in publishing this week–let’s get started! My memories of elementary school reading lists are dominated by To Kill a Mockingbird, The Giver, and Shiloh, and it doesn’t take a genius to see what they all have in common: white main characters. When faced with a similar reading list at…
#WWACGalentines: Friendship Isn’t All About Listening
Like most holidays in America, Valentine’s Day has come to stand in for the entire month of February. While romantic love is all good and well (as are cheap chocolates and roses), WWAC Lifestyle is celebrating love of the platonic variety (and the many variations therein) this month.
2014 Hugos Versus 2015 Sad Puppies: Novellas
In this series on the Sad Puppies controversy, I have been comparing the works picked for the 2015 Sad and Rabid Puppies slates with the stories that were nominated for the Hugo in 2014. Were the previous nominees truly overwhelmed with preachy “message fiction”? What kinds of stories had the Sad Puppies chosen to promote…
Get Your Game on Wednesday: Kickass ladies
Howdy, gaming lovelies! I started off this week playing Hearts Blazing with my friends at Game by Playdate, creators of Slash. Fun times were had by all and some of game art reminds me of Fire Lord Zuko. Onto the news! 2D platformers where damsels take charge 2D platformers for everyone! This week finds…
Kurama: The Foxy Demon of My Dreams
There are movies, television shows, cartoons, and characters that appealed to you greatly as a child that lose their shine as an adult. Nostalgia can do a lot for making up for poor quality content, but it can’t make Cat and Dog as appealing to me as it was when I was eight. Yet there…
Soylent Green: On Energy Crisis, Overpopulation, and the Patriarchy
1973’s Soylent Green may be best known for a forty-year-old plot twist, but this masterpiece of dystopian science fiction represents so much more than what first meets the eye. An adaptation of Harry Harrison’s 1966 novel Make Room! Make Room!, Soylent Green is more than simple pulp fiction. It addresses important issues like environmentalism, population…
