Metadoxy: POW!

http://metadoxy.blogspot.com/2006/09/pow.html

Thursday, September 07, 2006. If you were about to be stranded on a desert island, but could choose one book to take with you, what would it be. I would choose Watchmen. By Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. This seems an unremarkable claim until I mention the truth: Watchmen is a comic book. Not that there aren't drawbacks. Comics would not be my first choice for communicating technical information, not do they usually demonstrate the utter mastery. Of a language that is possible in novel form. Good work Mr&#...

Metadoxy: Some Comic Creators Don't Want Your Money

http://metadoxy.blogspot.com/2013/08/some-comic-creators-dont-want-your-money.html

Monday, August 19, 2013. Some Comic Creators Don't Want Your Money. Gail Simone will go Red Sonja on the next. Fool who says comics aren't for women. Not if you're a woman, that is. A group of well-known comic creators made comments at a panel discussion about how women are neither the target audience nor the protagonists of superhero stories, and to the extent they're in the stories at all horrifying things that happen to them aren't that big a deal. I'll give you a second to finish your epic eye roll.

Metadoxy: It's Time

http://metadoxy.blogspot.com/2006/06/its-time.html

Saturday, June 17, 2006. Listen to the music. It speaks of Christ and his Bride as I prepare to meet my own bride. As Jessie put it, "You actually are. Jesus in this story! That is a humbling thing. Headship transfering, ascending to the altar, the making of covenants, the giving of signs,. I am my beloved's and my beloved'’s mine. So you bring all your history and i’ll bring the bread and wine. And we’ll have us a party where all the drinks are on me. Listen carefully on my Wedding Day. HOW I FEEL WHEN ...

Metadoxy: Friday Links

http://metadoxy.blogspot.com/2013/08/friday-links.html

Friday, August 23, 2013. Actually, this is a pretty good idea. The new Archbishop of Canterbury wants to help not-for-profit credit unions put payday lenders out of business. I said to him quite bluntly, ‘We’re not in the business of trying to legislate you out of existence, we’re trying to compete you out of existence’. He’s a businessman, he took that well. Test scores are bad at predicting performance at Google. but probably not for the reason you think. Labels: all work and no play. What day is it?

Metadoxy: Fear the (Baby) Boom and Bust

http://metadoxy.blogspot.com/2013/10/fear-baby-boom-and-bust.html

Monday, October 07, 2013. Fear the (Baby) Boom and Bust. The people running this site, "The Can Kicks Back,". Suggests that economic inequality, government and student debt, and median income stagnation all have the same root cause: essentially, it blames the baby boomers. Normally, when confronting broad, sweeping arguments like this one, my instinct is to discredit the over-the-top claims with actual data. In this case, though, it's actually kind of hard to argue with. Senator Tom Coburn (a physician i...

Metadoxy: Comic book suggestions bleg

http://metadoxy.blogspot.com/2013/12/comic-book-suggestions-bleg.html

Tuesday, December 03, 2013. Comic book suggestions bleg. First, a confession: I don't buy comics. I know, there goes my street cred. By 'comics,' though, I mean regular monthly issues of ongoing series. I prefer stand-alone graphic novels, limited series, or trade paperbacks (the comics industry term for volumes collecting a single story arc, usually of 4 to 8 issues, from an ongoing series). Villain. Instead, Hellboy prefers to be more like a Golden Age. Most of my current collection of trade paperbacks...

Metadoxy: All our Heroes are Pyrrhus

http://metadoxy.blogspot.com/2013/08/all-our-heroes-are-pyrrhus.html

Monday, August 26, 2013. All our Heroes are Pyrrhus. That crunching sound is the new meta-narrative. A while back I blogged about the summer blockbuster, Man of Steel. Jessie asked for a follow-up:. I want a post about people's oddly consistent reaction to how many extras died in this movie. Portrayed in these films:. The most disturbing thing to me about both Star Trek: Into Darkness. And Man of Steel. Was the collateral damage in both films and the rather blasé treatment that it received. [.]. The incr...
