Podcast Episode 50 - The Best Comics of 2015

December 15, 2015

Here at the old Consequential.net, we like to think that we cover the very best comics week on week. So it stands to reason that our selections for the best of the year are a rarefied breed indeed, yes? Yes. We're not saying these books will get you laid, but they probably won't get you sent to prison either. Great! Plus, someone wins a prize! Could it be you? Yes!*

*Accuracy dependent on competition entry.

We apologise for the occasional high-pitched noise in this episode. It was caused by a particularly acute case of The Clanks. Roger is being exorcised and deloused and it won't happen again.

Also, for your enjoyment:

  • Christmas recipes!
  • Find out which candy is "disgustingly minty"!
  • Other things as well.
  • You can read all of the competition pitches we received, like we had to.

We covered, in no particular order:

  • Supermutant Magic Academy - Jillian Tamaki
  • Mulp - Matt Gibbs & Sarah Dunkerton
  • Porcelain - Benjamin Read & Chris Wildgoose
  • Descender - Jeff Lemire & Dustin Nguyen

January 30, 2015

This week we're giving something back to the people. As Agony Ant-Man, we take listener questions and pump out good advice and comics-related wisdom at a frankly disturbing volume. As in quantity. If it's too loud, turn it down. We can't do everything for you.

We read:

  • Manhattan Projects - Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra
  • Stray Bullets - David Lapham
  • The Wicked and the Divine - Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie and Matthew Wilson
  • Age of Bronze - Eric Shanower
  • Terms of Service - Michael Keller & Josh Neufeld
  • Ody-C - Matt Fraction and Christian Ward
  • Sing No Evil - J. P. Ahonen and K. P. Alare

And to fix your broken and tragic lives, we recommended:

  • Atomic Robo - Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener
  • DC: The New Frontier - Darwyn Cooke
