    December 2020: Peter Cannon: Thunberbolt and Marvel's Voices: Indigenous Voices

    Ben and Nik sit down to talk about the innovations in storytelling that they’ve been reading recently. For Ben, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt, a Watchmen riff that is a cutting critique of modern comic’s dependency on structural formalism by Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard; and for NIk, Marvel’s Voices: Indigenous Voices, an anthology book showing a tremendous amount of Indigenous talent and redesigned Marvel characters by Rebecca Roanhorse, Weshoyot Alvitre, Darcie Little Badger, Kyle Charles, Stephen Graham Jones and David Cutler (and many more).We talk about Marvel’s missed potential when it comes to showcasing their Indigenous characters, the refreshing variety that comes with breaking out of the standard comics mold and those gosh-darned 9 panel grids.Thanks to the generous and genuine support of our patrons we’re able to start our bimonthly comic book specials!
