Postmodernism and Tiny Wolverine

There is cultural and institutional interdependence between members of any community, especially the members of any team striving for mutant justice within a flatscan society. Back when Vealinger reamarked “the power struggle will continue while the great tale of humanity remains untold,” he created a monster which society has been attempting to tame ever since. [...]

LESSONS IN LETHARGY W/ EL DIABLO ROBOTICO

Sorry for the lack of preamble lately, folks.  I am anticipating having to train someone at my “real” job sometime soon-ish and I wanted to try and get caught up on my reading before that happens, so my days and nights have been spent doing just that.  Honestly – my life isn’t the Quentin Tarantino [...]

THE NIGHT BEFORE TODDMAS
By Jason Rhode
Twas the night before Toddmas (even for Xorn)
Metropolis Manor was unbothered by Ms. Tentacle Porn

– Anacharsis, to Solon, when the latter was writing laws for Athens

Always act [...]

That Which is Birthed of the Indie

When I contemplate the title of this column, I cannot help but contemplate my abusive relationship with Tim and Eric. I think Tom Goes to the Mayor was funny, there. Of course Tim and Eric made it really hard. Oh the show always starts funny enough, but eventually snowballs into the TV equivalent of a [...]

There Are No Girls On the Internet

Wrong sir! There are a lot of girls scared of the internet and comics.  Lucky for you I’ve waded through the mass of hormones, stacks of singles, and boob jokes it make my presence known.
I’m SarahBear and I’m relatively new to the Metropolis scene. I’m often referred to as “an outside source” when the guys [...]
