ConSequential Podcast 49 - Best of Thought Bubble 2015

Podcast 49: Thought Bubble 2015, The Best Bits

December 1, 2015

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
  • Fairytales for Bad Bitches - Comic Book Slumber Party
  • Identity Zine - One Beat Zines
  • A Woman Falls in Love With the Devil - Isabel Greenberg
  • The Golden Cannibal Girl - Douglas Noble
  • Dick Cream - Jordana Globerman

*Probably.

March 30, 2015

This week is a roundup of indie comics - coincidentally about 90% of what we were reading anyway. Think of us as Newsnight Review for comics, if Bonnie Greer was shitfaced and Tom Paulin had figured out how to hide his obvious depression behind overlong foul-mouthed tirades. What's that? You already do? Excellent! Let's crack on.

We read:

  • Descender - Jeff Lemire & Dustin Nguyen
  • The Fade Out - Ed Brubaker & Sean Philips
  • Satellite Sam - Matt Fraction & Howard Chaykin
  • I am Fire - Rachel Smith
  • The Red Road - Rozi Hathaway
  • Roller Girl - Victoria Jamieson
  • I don’t Like My Hair Neat - Julia Scheele
  • Solo - Hope Larson
  • El Deafo - Cece Bell
  • Giant Days - John Allison & Lissa Treiman
  • Sam Zabel and the Magic Pen - Dylan Horrocks
  • Howard The Duck - Chip Zdarsky, Joe Quinones
  • Nemo: River of Ghosts - Alan Moore & Kevin O'Neill

This episode is sponsored by cold medicine, cheese curds, and NIGHTMARE FOREST CIRCUSES.
