Comics! Literary analysis! #Butts. All these things and more, except we're on hiatus right now.

    Thought Bubble 2017

    We're (most of us) back from a slight hiatus because it's NERD PROM again and we're at Thought Bubble 2017 in disconcertingly sunny Leeds. With special guests (probably) and new comics (yes) and ellipses (someone stop me)!

    Consequential Podcast Episode 74 - Southern Gothic

    Southern gothic persists as a genre in all other mediums, so why is that deliciously swampy style so under-represented in comics? An investigation brought to you by big words, a fetish for Spanish moss, and that half-glimpsed face at the window of the ol' plantation house.

    ConSequential Podcast Episode 73 - Spin-offs

    Spin-off! Is there any word more thrilling to the soul and/or corporate wallet? This week we read a bucket of franchise-extension comics. From flaccid extrusions of long-spent IP, to comics an actual person might actually want to read, we talk about whether spin-off comics can be any good (yes), how it all works (it's complicated), and which ones are just utter, utter shite (surprisingly: not Pokémon). Find out more about the "beautiful teat filled with dollars".

    ConSequential Podcast Episode 72 - Gods

    Don't call it a GodCast. Actually don't, that sounded far better in my head. We're talking gods and mythology in comics, with drive-by reviewing of Hamish Steele's Pantheon, a revisit of The Wicked and the Divine, and a bunch of other stuff along the way because we're good to ya. Benevolent, even.

    ConSequential Podcast 71 - More Comics By Women

    Y'know that shade over half the population who make about ten percent of Big Two comics, probably about half of the rest, and whose work gets about five percent of the attention? Yeah, those folks: women? You remember women, right - the ones who don't get to say "I done made a comic" without some internet dickdribble making death threats. In the spirit of celebrating great work (and of not being that guy), this week we're spotlighting a bunch of comics with female creators.

    Episode 70: Big Weird Sci-Fi

    Back, back again to the stranger edges of sci fi. We ponder whether sci fi has preemptively shifted to reflect our garbage fire times, or whether our reading habits have just taken a turn for the cynical. Because of the garbage fires.

    Episode 69: Revisiting the Past

    They say that the past is a foreign country, and as British citizens we are therefore left with an extremely limited window of opportunity to go there without a visa. We're looking back at books we loved, formative experiences, to see how they stack up now. Also: other comics! Is a hotdog a sandwich? More!

    Episode 68: Comic Shops

    We really expected to just talk in gushing tones about our favourite comic shops and then come up with some great ideas for how we'd run our own. So of course we're ranting about the comics Direct Market. But also some other stuff!
