Deconstructing Comics ·

Marvel's "Phase Four" block of movies and TV shows has wrapped up, and it's occasioned a lot of annoyance online for all sorts of reasons. Are the complaints legitimate?

Deconstructing Comics ·

2023/02/01

Christiania, a silent comic written by 13-year-old Abi Behe, is a take on the ills of social media by someone who has never lived in a world without online culture.

2023/01/11

A few weeks back, Tim and Jason discussed Sean Lewis' Immortalis-- issue 3. This time, we're reading the first two issues, and grasping, in some ways, why he made issue 3 first. But if you need to start with issue 3 to hook readers, isn't that indicative of a problem with the first two issues? Brought to you by: The Batgirl to Oracle podcast Our supporters on Patreon

What happens when a group of people must work in the middle of nowhere, with virtually no supervision or accountability?

Deconstructing Comics ·

2022/12/14

Kumar and Matt E celebrate the life and work of Kevin O'Neill with a look back at his breakout work on Nemesis The Warlock in 2000 A.D. with writer Pat Mills. O'Neill's art very style in itself is shocking and intense, and the storytelling seems to approach everything backwards, but somehow it all comes together to create an unnerving and riveting sci-fi experience.

2022/11/30

If you're at all aware of Tokyo Rose, it's most likely simply as a woman heard over a radio in a movie set in World War II. But who was she, how did she end up in that situation, and what was the result for the war effort and for her? Tokyo Rose- Zero Hour is a new graphic novel by Andre Frattino and Kate Kasenow that fills us in on Iva Toguri, a Japanese-American woman who, under very odd circumstances, found herself working at Radio Tokyo during the war.

Kumar and Dana take on the task, with special attention paid to Black Dossier (and the record that was recorded for it), the Century trilogy, and the injustice that Kumar feels was done to Volume 2 way back in 2006, episode 21!
