In addition to my recent book, Graphic War (Rutgers University Press, 2016), I publish about war in digital games and graphic narratives. My article, “Security Games: The Coded Logics of the Playable War on ISIS” (Critical Studies on Security 6.1) argues that the coded logics of digital war games mimic cultural structures that make up contemporary understandings of security in the current war on ISIS. My essay in Studies in Comics (6.2) titled “Contested Spaces in Graphic Narratives” argues that devices within the graphic form allow for a complex visual understanding of affective attachment to the state through possibilities of graphic, bordered texts that cut across traditional understandings of territoriality and occupation.  An overview of my work in the University of Wisconsin DesignLab and of my interest in literary media design is available on the UW-Madison Writing Center Blog.
