You...2012-08-201h 14Matt & Brett Love Comics!Kerry McGuire and Nicole Drespel / Courtney Crumrin & The Night ThingsThings get spooky this week, though it has less to do with The Night Things and more to do with the tales told by this week’s guest, sketch comedy writer Kerry McGuire. Actually, not “spooky” so much as dark. We discuss Nicole’s pick, the first Courtney Crumrin series from Oni Press. The book inspires a little bit of talk about childhood alienation and a lot of talk about pupils.
Eye pupils.
Newly colored versions of Courtney Crumrin & The Night Things #1-4 can be found on Comixology and on...2012-08-061h 03Matt & Brett Love Comics!Zhubin Parang and Nicole Drespel / X-Force v2 #1-6 (2004-2005)The show takes a detour from positivity to discuss what can only be referred to as the Birdemic of comic books! Time travel, future ninjas, inexplicable fighting, poor spatial relations, Pottery Barn, what doesn’t this mini-series have? A reason for existing. It doesn’t have a reason for existing. Listen and find out if this mini is so bad it’s… nah, it’s just so bad.

All of the above, of course...2012-05-301h 19Matt & Brett Love Comics!Kathy Salerno and Nicole Drespel / New Mutants #18-21 (1984)Things get all demonically weird with the New Mutants, and we can only think about party planning and Cannonball’s pleasure schedule. Sketch comedian Kathy Salerno joins us and urges listeners to “create their own arenas.”
Also, we track how long it takes Nicole to spot a social injustice in our reading, and the answer is either sooner or later than you expect!
Also, Ch'od is discussed.

All of that is discussed, plus the comedians step out of their comfort zone and talk about serious racial issues. Fun! Keep this podcast closer than your cheat book.
