Jordana Globerman — ConSequential

Like a glorious phoenix that just properly could not be bothered for a bit over Christmas, we're back! We're covering some indie comics we picked up last year, and a load that were in a slightly wet bag in Roger's house. Pretty good stuff.

Plus: watch a sad man's life disintegrate before your very ears when he learns that never again will he get to taste the sweet, sweet nectar of a Panda Pop.

Also: learn which member of the team accused a small local police force of being child abusers on local TV news show Look East!

Roger and Dave are back from Thought Bubble, and they brought gifts! For Lucy, not for you. That would be weird. Listen on as we fight for approval in the inaugural Lucy Boyes £5 Challenge. Also: the best stuff we picked up at the festival. If that wasn't enough, we have interviews with Dan Watters & Caspar Wijingaard, Tillie Walden, Comic Book Slumber Party, Julia Scheele with One Beat Zines and Mat Barnett of Alien in the Outfield. Hey, it's competition time! Our end of the year show is coming up, and we want you to pitch us a comic. The ones we like best will be reviewed on the show as though they existed, because we're horrible, judgemental people. The one we unanimously decide we like the most will win one of our favourite books of the year, and probably some bespoke slash fiction*! Send a brief comic pitch to info@consequential.net, and good luck. You know what we like.

This week we talked about:

Mean Girls Club - Ryan Heshka
Limbo - Dan Watters & Caspar Wijingaard
I Love This Part - Tillie Walden
The Waltz - Nuno Duarte & Joana Afonso
Red - Jess Milton
Bob, Non-Union Psychic - Adam Volle, Lance Lucero, Francisco Resendiz
