Utilitarian Review 2/4/12

On HU

The week started out with Charles Reece and I in an epic Buffy vs. Twilight showdown.

I talked about noir and violence in the Steven Grant/Mike Zeck Punisher.

Richard Cook discussed the found footage horror genre.

I talked about comics and Fredric Jameson’s theories of the postmodern.

Andrei Molotiu discusses the cracked allure of Frank Miller’s Holy Terror.

I talked about the Marston/Peter Wonder Woman and replicating postmodern pleasures.
