#746 Manga Mermaid Madness!

Deconstructing Comics ·

2022/08/17

Patrick Ijima-Washburn (a.k.a. "Patrick W.") has been doing some deep research on certain themes used in manga. Last year, he told us about scary cats in manga; this time it's (mostly scary) mermaids -- or, to be gender neutral, "merfolk." Thinking it would be a topic easily covered, he was soon caught in a tsunami of manga fish-people, from adaptations of "The Little Mermaid," to creepy human-like creatures that live in the water, Creature of the Black Lagoon style. He shares his findings here,

Deconstructing Comics ·

2022/08/10

Joseph Smith and the Mormons is an objective look at the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Author and artist Noah Van Sciver took a bit of heat from the church for not portraying things in line with church teaching. Adam interviews Noah in this episode, as they compare notes on moving on from their respective religious upbringings, plus Noah describes his process and tools, adjusting to fatherhood, and what kind of comics work to do next.

2022/08/03

If you're looking for over-the-top -- way, way over -- action and violence, then Fist of the North Star, by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara, is the comic for you! Kumar and Jordan breathlessly recount their experience reading the comic, which -- despite the ridiculousness of the story -- is done sincerely, not cynically.

#742 "Crisis on Infinite Earths"

Deconstructing Comics ·

2022/07/13

Crisis on Infinite Earths was an attempt by Marv Wolfman and George Perez to clean up DC Comics continuity and make the publisher's line more reader-friendly. The story showed the Anti-Monitor trying to eliminate all of the many versions of Earth that had appeared in DC stories, and the few surviving Earths ended up merged into one. Numerous characters didn't make it through the story alive; characters whose original, defunct publishers had been absorbed by DC now found themselves to be native to

#740 Gary Spencer Millidge ("Strangehaven") interview

Deconstructing Comics ·

2022/06/22

Strangehaven is a series started by Gary Spencer Millidge in 1995. As he does everything himself (including publishing, for the first 18 issues), it has come out on an irregular schedule, but the content has been compelling. Kumar talks with him about how far he might be from completing the series, his process, his life-Strangehaven balance, and more.

Critiquing Comics #217: "Scion of Night" #1

Deconstructing Comics ·

2022/06/18

A man in Portland, Oregon, finds himself turning into some kind of neck-biting monster (a blue vampire who doesn't mind sunlight?), but he can't remember anything about who he is. What's causing this? Past drug use? Psychiatric issues? Tim and Jason discuss Tatu Heikkinen's Scion of Night #1: "The City of Roses."

Deconstructing Comics ·

2022/06/15

Jack Kirby's final Fourth World story is the 1984 graphic novel The Hunger Dogs, which continues some of the themes we saw in Even Gods Must Die, such as the encroachment of technology.

Deconstructing Comics ·

2022/06/08

One of our favorite indie creators has long been Amsterdam-based Chad Bilyeu, who's back with the start of a new series, The Re-Up. Chad tends to deal in nonfiction and memoir, and this time is no different: he reminisces here about the time he took over a marijuana retail business in Washington, DC. Of course, a new book from Chad brings Mulele temporarily out of podcast retirement, and he joins Tim this time to discuss Chad's new offering. Brought to you by: To the Batpoles! podcast Our

Tim and Adam looked around on the rest of his site and found both gag-a-day and serialized work in his Road Apples Almanac strip, and some nice art and good comic timing.
