John Jackson Miller

Dark Horse, 2008

Fun read
As a person who had never read these comics before, I thought they were great. Especially since they lumped them all together like this. I'm sure it will be a while before they make an Omnibus out of them, but all in all the storyline was good and the artwork was ...

It's time for all of us to wake up

Eric Avila

University of California Press, 2006

Fantastic
I had to read Eric Avlia's "Popular Culture in the Age of White Flight" for a course and was dreading it. I figured that it would be a rather tiresome book pointing out racism in pop culture. Instead I found a terrific work on how race and urban vision informed the ...
