THE AWESOME COMICS PODCAST

 

This week the ACP gang take on the topic of comics pricing! The price of digital, how overpriced some collections can be, the prices of small press books at conventions and getting your moneys worthall get discussed, as well as some interesting listener polls and emails get read. It's a topic that doesnt get discussed too much, especially by silly shows that make toilet humour seem high brow, but the ACP give it a good go. Theres also the usual comics banter, great comics are discussed, the 80s movie quiz Action Dan gets interesting and theres the debut of a new, emotionally charged segement called 'Ask Aunty Tony'. Its another comical show on every level, so check it out!

Great stuff to check out this week: The Naked Artist: Comic Book Legends Expanded Edition, Sparks, Blue Fox Comics, Project Autumn

It's that time of year when the Awesome Pod ghouls talk about the world of horror comics. Yes, its the second ACP Halloween Special! Vince and Dan talk terror and horror storytelling pros and cons, and as Tony couldn't make it this week Shaun Dobie (Descending Outlands) steps in and the trio discuss scary books, the classic horror monsters, when horror goes too far and also spins yet more chat based on this weeks spooktacular listener polls. It's classic comics chat with an added twist and plenty of laughs. Theres also another Action Dan question, talk of 'genre' books and Tony is missed (but still makes an appearance... kind of).

Turn the lights down low and put on some Kenny G, because this week the ACP are talking about Sex.

Theres talk of books that have had legal challenges due to sexual content, Robert Crumb, sexualised variant covers, results of this weeks listener polls, LOADS more and also the first listener question gets put in for our 80s action movie quiz 'Action Dan'.

The new era of the Awesome Pod begins, and we kick off this week with a discussion about the world of modern comic book conventions. With big shows pulling in mega numbers, smaller shows being cancelled and venues being changed (controversially for some) theres plenty of discussion to be had. Listener opinions get read out, poll results are announced and its the first week of our 80s action movie trivia quiz Action Dan! Its a bold new direction for the same old waffle about the world of comics!
