In the screening room Angus has discovered a revealing interview given by Marjorie M. Liu as she was wrapping up her run on Astonishing X-Men. During the 2013 Melbourne Writers Festival, she came to the Wheeler Centre for an exclusive video-only interview with Joe Morris (host of the NonCanonical comics podcast). She discusses the thrills, challenges and romance of writing; the transition from her erstwhile career as a lawyer; navigating the gendered genres of romance and comics; going off the deep end with your fiction; and the value of revising your work.

Monstress

https://www.amazon.com/Monstress-Vol-1-Marjorie-Liu-ebook/dp/B01DJOS93I/

Set in an alternate matriarchal 1900's Asia, in a richly imagined world of art deco-inflected steampunk, MONSTRESS tells the story of a teenage girl who is struggling to survive the trauma of war, and who shares a mysterious psychic link with a monster of tremendous power, a connection that will transform them both. Entertainment Weekly praised MONSTRESS as "one of Image Comics' most imaginative and daring new series" and dubbed it the "Best New Original Series" in their year-end "Best Comics of 2015" list. Collects MONSTRESS #1-6

Welcome to Long Time Ago, a journey into the Marvel Star Wars Legends Comics. Our host Angus first made the jump to hyperspace and a galaxy far far away by reading Marvel Star Wars Vol 1 Issue #9 and never looked back! Travel back to 1977 into the origins of the series and discover how comics has supported fandom and in some ways shaped the Star Wars universe.  This twenty-third episode is a review of Issue #5 of 'The Star Wars'! "Before Star Wars, there was The Star Wars! This is the authorized adaptation of George Lucas’s rough-draft screenplay of what would eventually become a motion picture that would change the world." We hope you enjoy this latest adventure in the journey! Please drop us a message on the anchor app or send us an mp3 or email to [email protected].
