Read a Book, Ya Idjits!

January 13, 2015 by sistercoyote 13 Comments

I’m going to guess there aren’t too many places outside fan fiction where you’ll find Supernatural mentioned in the same breath or sentence as Hamlet. Let alone Aristotle, Karl Marx, Immanuel Kant (who’s a real pissant), or Thomas Aquinas. Or Simone du Bouvoir. Or many other philosophers. Just so we’re clear: yes. I mean *that* Supernatural. Not the idea of the supernatural, or defining the supernatural, though certainly some chapters address those topics and I think a great many philosophers have covered that ground. For those people who […]

So far, the Lil & Boris series has been a nice series of comfort nibbles with inhabitants I’ve always described […]

Chaos, Confusion, Twain and Tesla

January 3, 2015 by sistercoyote 2 Comments

The Five Fists of Science, by Matt Fraction (Art by Steven Sanders) is one of those books. I really wanted to like it, and it has a promising premise, but in the end it’s more a fun concept than a good story. Is it a graphic novelette? Yes. Is it steampunk? Sort of. Is it a superhero comic? Maybe? Lovecraftian? Yes, that. Is it an Alternate History with Famous Personages? Yes, also that. Plus, I think there was some influence from Godzilla and also possibly […]
