ConSequential Podcast 61 - Fantasy

Podcast 61 - Fantasy

September 7, 2016

We bravely set out to find the very best in fantasy comics, but we got badly sidetracked and got eaten by a Groo, a monster from a videogame that shares its name with a fantasy comic we didn't actually cover. Will that do? I tried.

There's a weird lack of fantasy comics, so we try to figure out why what Mr Hart so kindly refers to as "Elves and Swords and Bollocks" isn't as prevalent as other genres.

We covered:

  • A City Inside - Tillie Walden
  • Oishinbo - Tetsu Kariya, Akira Hanasaki
  • Black Monday Murders - Jonathan Hickman, Tomm Coker
  • Dicebox - Jenn Manley Lee
  • Echo’s Rift  Jennifer Potter
  • Unsounded - Ashley Cope
  • Stand Still, Stay Silent - Minna Sundberg
  • The Lost Oracle - Lho Brockhoff
  • Cry Havoc - Si Spurrier, Ryan Kelly, Nick Filardi, Matt Wilson, Lee Loughridge
  • Weirdworld - Sam Humphries, Michael Del Mundo
  • Injection - Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey, Jordie Bellaire
  • Pretty Deadly - Kelly-Sue DeConnick, Emma Rios, Jordie Bellaire
  • Ghastly - "Ghastly" (This is very not safe for work you guys)
