Joe Talks Comics

This week, I celebrate Valentine's Day by inviting my boyfriend, Echo, onto the podcast to talk about one of my favourite comics, Heartstopper, written and drawn by Alice Oseman!

We discuss different aspects of the comic, the characters, and more, how it compares to the Netflix show adaptation, and what we love about the story in both mediums!

For this, we go into full spoilers for the comic and the show, so just be aware of that if you haven't read or seen Heartstopper and you want to avoid any spoilers!

Episode 087.

This week Mighty Lee's Comics returns in the first part of a new series where they join Joe to talk about their "20 Comics to Get to Know Me" lists.

For long-time listeners, yes, this is a re-run. It originally came out in May 2023, but Mighty and I have only just recorded Part 2, so I wanted to run this first part in the feed again, so anyone who hasn't heard it can listen before we release Part 2 next month! With that said, I hope you enjoy.

In this first part, picks 20 through 17 inclusive are covered.

For Joe, that was, from 20 to 17: What's the Furthest Place From Here from Image Comics, Wynd from Boom! Studios, DCeased from DC Comics and Something is Killing the Children from Boom! Studios.

For Mighty Lee, that was: Spider-Punk from Marvel Comics, Primordial from Image Comics, The Department of Truth from Image Comics, and Ultimate Fantastic Four from Marvel Comics.

This week Joe talks with Alex Cormack and Rich Douek, artist and writer respectively of new comic series Drive Like Hell, lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou and published by Dark Horse Comics.

The first two issues of Drive Like Hell are out now, so go check it out at your local comic store if you're interested! The synopsis for the issue is as follows:

"Bobby Ray had it made. One last big job, then it was splitsville, set for life with his girl by his side! Then everything went wrong, and poor Dahlia took a bullet to the brain as they made their escape. Thing is, dear Dahlia didn't stay dead. Now Bobby's found himself plunged into a battle of otherworldly proportions, and if he wants to get out of dodge with his skin intact, he's gonna have to Drive Like Hell!"

If you read the first two issues and enjoy it, make sure to ask your local comic store to pre-order the rest of the series for you as they are essential to the success of a comic like this.
