How Portland Became a Player in the Comic Book Industry - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It may surprise you to learn that Portland, Oregon, a mid-sized America city known for its rain and its many river spanning bridges, is a global hotbed for the production of comic books. A new documentary for OBP’s Oregon Artsbeat, Indie Comics City: How Portland Built Its Own Comics Universe, which premiered at the annual Rose City Comic Con, tells how it happened, a story about the place of Portland itself, and the decentralizing modes of cultural production everywhere.

Mercury Music Picks: Geordie Greep Grips Rev Hall, Jane Remover’s Glitchy Electronic, and Abel Selacoe at the Oregon Symphony - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have finally arrived back in the Mercury office after a cool 19 days on the road. As glamorous as DIY tour life can be (sleeping on floors, squeezing into a car like a sardine, etc.) it is also incredibly fulfilling (I definitely teared up at every show thinking about how lucky I am to travel and play music with my best friends).

The Mercury’s 2026 Sauvie Island Corn Maze Reviews - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sauvie Island is Portland’s seasonal source for you-pick berries, nude beaches, and corn mazes where you might actually get lost. As fall’s spooky-autumnal air creeps in, we’re drawn the island’s three major corn mazes—all found within its southern portion, just on the other side of the Wapato Bridge. One is a long-running institution, another is a relative newcomer, and the last is a labyrinth of nightmares filled with bloodthirsty psychos who will chase you through corn. But which is right for
