The Naked Truth: A Very Serious Exploration of Spoof Movies
With the new Naked Gun movie being billed as the glorious return of the classic spoof comedies of the late ’80s and ’90s, I was naturally excited to see it the moment it hit cinemas. And, indeed, I went, laughed my way through the whole thing, and thought to myself: “Yes, it really is back!” Then, somewhere between the credits and the parking lot, another thought crept in: What exactly is back? And why did it leave in the first place?

15 Fascinating Facebook Facts You Probably Didn’t Know
It’s almost impossible to imagine a world without Facebook. For many of us, it’s where we first reconnected with an old school friend, shared life updates, or got caught in endless scrolling sessions. But behind the familiar blue logo is a story filled with twists, surprising statistics, and quirky details that even long-time users might not know.

Family Guy vs. The Simpsons: The Ultimate Battle for Cartoon Comedy Supremacy
Throughout history, there have been countless comparisons with no definitive answer: Has PlayStation outperformed Xbox overall? Was Maradona the better footballer, or was it Pelé? Which show was superior — The Sopranos or Better Call Saul? Did BMW make better cars, or was it Mercedes-Benz? Questions like these have always existed, and while each side has its strengths, there’s rarely a clear winner.

Don’t Tell Me How to Feel About Hulk Hogan’s Death.
Wrestling with the Legacy of Hulk Hogan as a Black Fan I didn’t expect to feel anything when I heard Hulk Hogan had passed away two weeks ago, But I did. Not sadness. Not relief. Just… conflicted. As a Black man, that reaction in itself feels like a story. One I’m still unpacking. One I’m not sure how I’m “supposed” to tell, but here I am — telling it anyway.

Love and Rockets: New Stories Number 4
If there's one thing to say about Love and Rockets, it's that as far as comics go, it is curiously addictive. Love and Rockets is the long-running black-and-white comic series by Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez—an exploration of the life of chica Maggie and the ripped-from-life and put-out-there-baldly environment she occupies. I had always wanted to read it, since discovering an issue decades ago at Waldenbooks, and I had always assumed it was an examination of the L.A. punk scene of the Eighties—I think the issues back in those days, or at least the one I discovered, featured two lesbians, one of whom was depicted as a punk rocker. I remember a drawing of a post-punk gothy guy with a Cure T-shirt. Ah, nostalgia waves hit me so hard.

South Park Trump: When Satire Became Reality
What if the most absurd, foul-mouthed cartoon in TV history didn’t just mock politics—but predicted it? Years before Donald Trump became president, South Park had already painted his character—with orange skin, wild rants, and a wall obsession. But this wasn't Trump... it was Mr. Garrison.

The Werewolf at Dusk
Permit us, if you will, to make an observation. We often try to distract ourselves with illusions—of a past or present buried beneath the rubble of diversion and self-deception. Delusion: we all live in little rings of it, orbiting nothing. But then something bubbles to the surface, reminding us—plainly, brutally—of our own personal extinction. Nullification by circumstance. Erasure by time. This is our journey, and it is not one of earthly tread.

Dark Fantasy & Magical Realism
In a village forgotten by most maps and remembered only in whispers, there was an orchard where time did not flow—it ripened.

My Space Dark Horse Presents
Dark Horse Presents was an anthology comic that debuted in 1986, the august year of my wayward youth. It was almost a decade before the internet took off, but the internet iteration Myspace Dark Horse Presents, so named because it tapped potential comics talent from the denizens of the now-defunct social media platform, extenuated the indie comics anthology to the cyber realm. The series, six volumes long, eventually pulled in big-name talents such as Mike "Hellboy" Mignola, but still managed to retain the status of being a vehicle to showcase new talent.

Open Letter to Astronaut
Dear Astronaut Executives, Board Members, PR Crisis Interns, and whoever’s still left monitoring the corporate Slack, I hear you're looking for a new CEO after your last one heroically resigned in the wake of the Coldplaygate debacle. Tragic stuff. A man felled not by fiscal mismanagement, a hostile takeover, or even a private jet scandal—but by Chris Martin’s dreamy falsetto and a poorly-timed photo op. Corporate martyrdom truly has a new face.

Why Bong Eik Is My Favorite Antagonist
Not every antagonist is evil. Some are just mirrors. And the scariest ones are the ones who didn’t mean to become monsters.
