Comics. Music. Culture. Reviews in Brief (6/17 to 6/24 – 2015). July 1, 2015. Only four issues this week. I considered picking up. 1, but it had the bad luck of coming out after I had already bought more. Stuff that I had planned to.

https://themiddlespaces.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/imperfect-storm-part-three
Comics. Music. Culture. Imperfect Storm (Part Three): “Return of the Goddess”. July 28, 2015. This post is the third and final part of a series on X-Men’s Storm (aka Ororo Munroe) and the relationship of identity and colonialism in three comic books featuring her. In Part One. The story in Storm #3, Return of the Goddess, refers back not only to Ororo’s African origins, but to Lifedeath II. As far as I have been able to determine, this is the only story since the two issues in the 1980s I examined in...

Who not only took the time to have an entire episode about one of these issues. But made the suggestion in that episode that the issue and the character had rich possibilities for a postcolonial reading. As writers like Junot Diaz and scholars like John Rieder. 186 (1984) and #198 (1985), and. Volume 3, #3 (2014) to read them through that lens. Colonialism and the Textual Attitude.

Comics. Music. Culture. 8220;The Revolution was Postponed Because of Rain”. July 21, 2015. I was thinking back on what might have been formative moments in my analysis of popular music and culture, and remembered a paper I wrote/presentation I gave as an undergrad in a senior poetry seminar on Brooklyn Funk Essentials’ The Revolution was Postponed Because of Rain. The song, an acid jazz riff on dub-poetry it has got that rooted bass line and spacy synth sounds is on the band’s debut album. That trainee c...

Slut-Shaming She-Hulk | The Middle Spaces
https://themiddlespaces.wordpress.com/2015/08/04/slut-shaming-she-hulk
Comics. Music. Culture. August 4, 2015. Back in June, over at. I co-wrote an overview and review of. It is a fun series and I like it quite a bit, especially since Slott seems to know his superhero continuity as well as any pedantic nerd, but is willing to use that knowledge to play around and construct stories that are simultaneously reverent of the old days and aware of its absurdity to limn that edge of ironic humor people seem to like these days. 4 ostensibly takes place in the 1980s, a time.
