Tia and Kate sat down and talked about Intersect by Ray Fawkes and the multi-layered story being told with very abstract art. Enjoy! Relevant Links/Information Tia – @PortraitOfmMeX Kate – @KateSkocelas Intersect by Ray Fawkes This week’s music was by Infinity Shred.

This episode was recorded on November 20th, 2016. The show this week features Nick and Kate talking all about those pesky cultural references and “memes” in comic books. However, at the end of the day, there are some books that do this well and others that don’t. This episode dives into finding where the line is drawn. Also, Nick coins the term “fandering.” This is the final week! If you haven’t already taken it, please take the I Read Comic Books Listener survey!

This week’s episode was recorded on October 9th, 2016. While Mike (and Tia) were off at NYCC, Nick hosted the show this week with Brian and Kate. The show this week focused on retconning in comics and when it’s good or bad (specifically in Big 2 books). Despite all reasoning, they managed to put together a great episode, but near the end things go a bit off the deep end! And if you have a moment, please take the I Read Comic Books Listener survey!

This week’s episode was recorded on October 2nd, 2016. Tia and Kate join Mike this week to talk all about comics–as usual. However, this week, the episode was focused on how both Tia and Kate got into comics and what it’s been like since they started reading. It’s a hoot and a holler and after the credits, there are some embarrassing convention stories (given NYCC coming up this week)!

Our show this week is longer than usual, but it’s definitely incredible. Nick and Paul join Mike to talk a whole bunch about comics and what they read recently.
