Here’s some of what they’ve got in store for us in issue 3:
Kowloon Walled City: The Modern Pirate Utopia. One of our most popular blog posts in 2008 was David Forbes‘ piece on Kowloon Walled City, so we decided to expand it into an article. We tracked down photographer Greg Girard, who complemented David’s expanded piece with 21 gritty, breathtaking images and captions describing life inside the lawless city.

“Now Do You Understand the Meaning of Life?” A Brief Tour of Pre-War Russian Pulp. Jess Nevins, a celebrated author with an encyclopedic brain, uncovers Soviet pulp fiction of the 20s and 30s in this original article, illustrated in pop-propaganda style by Zoetica. You’ll meet aquamen, psychic secret agents, brains in a jar, talking Socialist orangutans, Mike Thingmaster, Light-Hearted Sonya, Satan, an engineer from a two-dimensional country intent on invading the USSR, and several other colorful characters from yesteryear.

Unicorn Chaser: The Quicksilver Reportage of Xeni Jardin. Tech culture journalist/BoingBoing co-editor Xeni Jardin’s blogcentric ability to turn on a dime and take her audience with her, week to week, from playful video art to human rights reportage and back again, is what makes Jardin compelling and Boing Boing Video so emblematic of the way we absorb news and culture today. Meredith and Nadya caught up with Jardin to discuss her first year as producer for a web show unlike any other. Featuring a brilliant illustration of Xeni by Stuntkid.

Mindfrak! Ron Moore Explains Himself. When show producers asked Battlestar Galactica creator Ron D. Moore to lighten up the tone of the series, suggesting that he kick off an episode with a birthday party, he famously responded by writing an opening scene in which a group of crewmen, drunkenly celebrating a pilot’s one thousandth landing, get blown to smithereens by an errant explosive. Why does he put his characters through such hell? Nadya and Zoetica caught up with the space-drama king to get some answers.
That’s right. Jess Nevins, Xeni Jardin and Ron Moore in the third issue of Coilhouse.
I’d call it a coup, but they’ve been doing it since issue one.
