    A Quick Discussion of "McNab" by Adele Pound | Aftershow Preview

    In this audio preview of our Patreon-exclusive aftershow, Nat leads a quickfire discussion on "McNab" by Adele Pound, one of the six other comics we bought from LDComics Online Fair, but which didn't make the main episode. Aside from quickfire reviews, Yan and Nat also recorded themselves doing their online comic shopping and talking through their trains of thought. Unlike the physical artist alley, digital comic fairs are a relatively new channel of commerce, and this episode offers a fascinating view into how potential buyers browse and make selections. So whether you're a comic artist who participates in these fairs, or a fair organizer yourself, we think you'll take away something valuable from this episode.

    Introducing: Party of One — Apocalypse Keys ft. Kieron Gillen

    If you like Comic Sans, we think you'll love Party of One, a podcast about getting to know people through the shared experience of play. In this episode, host Jeff Stormer is joined by comics writer (and TTRPG creator!) Kieron Gillen for a monstrous game of Apocalypse Keys! Listen to Party of One wherever you get your podcasts. --- Kieron is the writer behind some of my favorite comics, including Young Avengers, Journey Into Mystery, and The Wicked + The Divine. His latest works include The Power Fantasy, about six superpowered individuals with the power to singlehandedly destroy the planet, and Die Loaded, the sequel to his incredible comic book/RPG combo Die, about a dark fantasy roleplaying game come to life. We sat down for a monstrous superhero mystery in Apocalypse Keys, about the demonic agents of a massive organization tasked with stopping the end of the world. DIVISION is calling, monsters. Do you answer? Or will you become the Harbinger yourself?
