We Considered Comics

Hello and Welcome to the NPR Voice edition of All Comics Considered. In this week's episode, we all gathered --including our amazing sound engineer Steve!-- to discuss the new CW Show: Black Lightning. We talk about our history with the character, some of the fictional biography of the character, where is his place in the Arrowverse (other than at the top), and we just scream for joy as this family of super heroes does cool shit. If you like what you've heard, you gotta rate and review us. You can do it at Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, or Spotify. You should totally to it. It's the righteous thing to do.

Wherein Jim talks about his gaming history, Fiasco!, and an insight into Avengers: No Surrender!   We cannot recommend Jim's website enough for all your comic needs--be it how-tos or buying some excellent books!

ACC-tion Heroes, we have good news and bad news. Here is the bad news: Episode 100, our Musical Episode, has been eaten by the forces of evil. It's gone. Poof. Here is the good news: Episode 101 is the first part of an extensive interview with writer, animator, gamer, speaker, and professor Jim Zub! Jim talks to us about how he got into comics, his creator owned books, gaming, and Avengers: No Surrender! If you are looking for somewhere to start with Jim's body of work, in previous shows, Marty has plugged: Glitterbomb Wayward Uncanny Avengers AND Jim's website has a ton of good advice on writing, the comics industry, and more information on where you can buy his stuff! Seriously. GO BUY HIS STUFF Sit down, plug-in, and get ready for one hell of a conversation!     **Jim comes to the show thanks to Will Hindmarch
