    Nick Spencer and Ramon Rosanas’s Astonishing Ant-Man

    by
    On the surface, there’s a lot in common between the Scott Lang we meet on the comic book’s pages and the one we see on the screen. They’re both ex-cons. They’re both having trouble getting over their pasts. They both have a cute kid named Cassie. The points of Scott Lang's life that are getting highlighted on the screen are very present on the pages of the book. If you went into a comic shop looking for more of the feeling that you found in the film, you probably weren't disappointed.

    Horror Marginalia: “The Outsider”

    by
    There’s a great metaphor woven through Stephen King’s “The Outsider”: the cut-open cantaloupe that’s filled with maggots. It’s a clever metaphor for the novel’s titular Outsider, a metaphor he extends to a ghoulish conclusion in the book’s last act. But in its less on-the-nose way, it’s about the unknowability of other people. The potential for… Continue reading Horror Marginalia: “The Outsider”
