    Grant Morrison on The Invisibles, 30 Years Later

    Today on Transcending Comics, we're joined by the legendary Grant Morrison as we return to our Invisible Community College Book Club series of episodes. Our conversation explores Morrison's experiences with The Invisibles, their approach to writing trans characters in the 80s and 90s, and the ways they've incorporated magick into their writing. For those our there that haven't read The Invisibles, there's plenty to enjoy here as the series is only a springboard for a discussion that takes us into the world of Morrison's creative process, and an opportunity to hear their views on life, consciousness, and the nature of reality.

    Remember, Remember: Reflections on Dystopian Fiction

    We’re mixing things up this week on Transcending Comics, in one of our annual solo-episodes. I’ll be discussing reflections on V for Vendetta (the graphic novel and the film) alongside other dystopian media, and what these mean to me as a trans creator in a state increasingly hostile to trans folk. If you enjoyed our episode, “It’s Morphin Time,” then this one’s for you! We’re once again mixing music and spoken word, this time we even have a few original pieces from some incredibly talented musicians who contributed their work for this episode! For those interested in seeing the film “I Am My Own Woman” that I mentioned in this episode, here’s a link where you can watch it for free (legally) online: https://rarefilmm.com/2022/03/ich-bin-meine-eigene-frau-1992/ If you would like to support the artists featured in this episode, here’s a few links to where you can find them online: Amdrag (Guitar Backtracks): YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@amdrag Spotify:   https://open.spotify.com/artist/76S4ZY9sup5zteAMpEBMp6?si=m-u15YgNRgG_4TJMeQO2jQ     A Small Bird: Personal Site: https://www.asmallbird.com/ Bandcamp: https://asmallbird.bandcamp.com/track/posh-polish  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4oogY16zvQ1pSEVhaGQsle?si=KLn2en8jRf6FyBfmVwUQ_w    Ancient Summer: Bandcamp: https://ancientsummer.bandcamp.com/album/vision-in-the-void  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7p0LIoi2tmjGvtBJvARGG8?si=6qPDvY4-QVyotEiwK5X2NQ  Be sure to read more of Elizabeth Sandifer’s work at: https://www.eruditorumpress.com/

    Hey, can we talk for a second?

    Hey folks, it's been a minute since my last episode, and I wanted to share a few updates. I've been dealing with a flooded studio, the difficulties of starting a business as a convention vendor, and then there's the recently elected existential threat facing the trans community... I have a few thoughts I'd like to share, and I want to set expectations regarding the status of both my shows and our release schedule going forward. This episode isn't all doom and gloom though. I'm a firm believer that our reality is constructed by the stories we tell ourselves and each other. So in a situation like this, I think it's time we tell a better one. I'm just one trans gal with a couple podcasts, but the one thing I can give to you all is a story. A story about how we face these next 4 years together, and come out stronger regardless of what's thrown at us. Be safe out there friends, and thank you for listening. Music Credits for Today's Episode: Our intro song, "Push" and our outro, "Fine," are both by the incredibly talented Rockstar & Elise, you can check out both songs on their EP "The Future" on BandCamp and other platforms: https://rockstarelise.bandcamp.com/album/the-future-ep Their Website: RockstarElise.com  The song used during out story is "Survive" by Lane 8 feat. Channy Leaneagh (Sultan + Shepard Remix): https://youtu.be/HbR6yWxjS8g?si=J2rlqXEgKBBQSH4G

    The Invisibles and Hyper Sigils with Arden Leigh

    Welcome back to Transcending Comics! Today, we're revisiting the world of The Invisibles by Grant Morrison. Rather than another book club episode, we'll instead be exploring how the series has impacted real world practices of chaos magick. Joining us for this discussion is none other than Arden Lee, an expert in chaos magic and the sole spiritual apprentice of Grant Morrison. Arden is an artist of many talents, as the frontwoman of Arden and the Wolves, the writer of an upcoming book, and the founder of The Repatterning Project. She's here to share her unique perspective on how The Invisibles has influenced real-world practices of chaos magick, especially with the introduction of the concept of the hyper sigil. We had an incredible chat about how fiction can become reality, the magic of storytelling, and intriguing journeys of self-discovery! Special thanks to Keegan Thoranin (@steadfastpetrel) for providing editing assistance while our studio was flooded!
