Absolutely Bat-Sh!t: Absolute Batman Review

By Harry Deefholts  Growing up, I relied on animated superhero shows and the cultural impact of the now flawed Marvel Cinematic Universe to feed my childhood niches and introduce me to new characters.  That being said, over the last year, I wanted to adopt a new depth and cultural perspective on superheroes and other fictional characters—by going out and buying old-school paperbacks and $10 comics.  Since then, I’ve been introduced to Hellboy, several modern comic runs, and I’ve even been…

Eat Up

by Rory Murphy “Eat up, Garrett. You’re not a bitch, are you?”   The locker room erupted in cries of shock, players turning to one another with their fists over their gaping mouths. Derek kept his cool though, standing in front…

Oh, Bird

by Malika Savory A figure is tracing itself through the summer air, a bead of sweat swells up on the broad dirt canvas. The grass is still, trees immobile underneath a beating sun. It is the time of day where the heat can trick a person into thinking the image in front of it actually contains two figures instead of…
