Usually, a book hits the stands; some read it, and many don't, and it fades away. Even bestsellers rarely retain attention, enjoying their temporary spotlight only to have it switched off at a moment's notice. W ..read more

We discuss comic book math and the value of harrowing animal adventure with two unbeatable storytellers. How many words belong on a page? How many panels? In this week's podcast, we uncover the answers by chatting with Jesse Lonergan and Pornsak Pichetshote about their new Boom Studios series, Man's Best. It's a radically personal work about three emotional support animals lost in space, and it forced its creators to rethink their collaborative impulses to achieve the best comic possible. And we're excited to report they pulled it off. Man's Best is, without doubt, one of the year's best co ..read more

We chat with Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay about their erotic supernatural horror romance. A story is never one story. A story is several stories. It's the story imagined by its author or authors, as is often the case in comics, and it's the story imagined by its many readers. They can be similar or significantly different, but none of them are the same. Never have we been more aware of this phenomenon than when we were talking to Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay about their new comic, Somna. The DSTLRY series gripped us immediately. One issue in, we found ourselves challenged, wrestling with how ..read more

We're chatting about the kitchen sink Western with the 'That Texas Blood' duo. Full spoilers! Yee-haw! Walk into your local comic book store and give it a good browse. These days, you won't find too many Western comics. When a publisher like Image Comics grants a person the opportunity to make one, they must seize it and run wild. Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips cram The Enfield Gang Massacre with everything they love about the genre. It's got bank robberies, shootouts, and Gatling guns, oh my. When Condon and Phillips last appeared on the podcast, we speculated that The Enfield Gang Massacre ..read more

With the sixth issue complete, we reflect on the Energon Universe's first Cybertron saga. Thank the Metal. Welcome to Serial Spoiler, our new recurring column in which we dissect a recent comic book storyline. You've been warned. Read Daniel Warren Johnson's Transformers before venturing any further. The AllSpark is not a thing in the Generation 1 Transformers cartoons. Michael Bay needed a MacGuffin to keep his first Transformers film simple, and AllSpark sounded legit enough. The original animated series mostly preoccupied itself with the Matrix of Leadership (the handle-barred orb residing ..read more

Wonder Con programming materializes, and we're plotting our star chart. Comic convention season is officially in full swing, and we're mere weeks away from our next stop. WonderCon features 900+ exhibitors, packing in a 412,000-square-foot exhibit hall. If it's anything like last year, you can bet we'll find some glorious short boxes jammed with dollar comics. Yet, at this moment, we're most excited about the programming, which just dropped the other day. We've spent the last several hours pouring through WonderCon's three-day event, and two panels immediately jumped to our Trekkie attention ..read more
