Katy Rex also writes comics analysis at endoftheuniversecomics.com, talkingcomicbooks.com, and bloody-disgusting.com. She writes scholarly articles for various academic journals, mostly because if she's not adding Freudian or Marxist theory to Aquaman she gets bored. She really likes butt jokes, dinosaurs, and killing psychos and midgets in Borderlands 2. She has a great sense of humor if you’re not an asshole.
