Troubling Issues

That's Not Canon Productions

Join comic writer, artist, and fan Brad Daniels (and a guest) as each episode they read and discuss a comic book. Each episode will take a deep dive into a single comic issue with a critical and playful eye. Some of these comics are terrible, some are brilliant, and some a bit of both - but each is notable, unusual, and/or hilarious. Hear about the comics where Spiderman makes a deal with the devil, Superman stars in a porno, and Wonder Woman gets tied up (a lot!). It doesn’t matter if you a longtime comics fan or have never read one in your life - this is a fun look at how storytelling sometimes goes wrong - and sometimes goes right! Hosted on Acast.
