ConSequential Podcast Episode 50 - The Best Comics of 2015

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
  • Solomon - Carlos Pedro
  • Limbo - Dan Watters & Caspar Wijngaard
  • Wet Moon - Sophie Campbell
  • Saint Cole - Noah Van Sciver
  • Fante Bukowski - Noah Van Sciver

ConSequential Podcast 38 - Our Secret Shame

Podcast 38 - Our Secret Shame

May 21, 2015

No matter how well read you are (and we're all amazingly well-read, clearly), there are always blind spots. We talk about the big hoary beast comics that we've been avoiding, tell you why, and vow to go away and improve ourselves. It's going to be a journey. But hey, it's not all brutal introspection. We also talk about a ton of exciting new comics!

We talked about:

  • The Red Road - Rozi Hathaway
  • Roller Girl - Victoria Jamieson
  • Sam Zabel & the Magic Pen - Dylan Horrocks
  • Injection - Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey, Jordie Bellaire
  • Station 16 - Yves H, Hermann
  • Pisces - Kurtis J Weibe, Johnnie Christmas
  • Shadows of Salamanca - Christopher Bec and Stefano Raffaele
  • Vacancy - Jen Lee
  • The Hunter - Joe Sparrow
  • Fantasy Sports #1 - Sam Bosma
  • Supermutant Magic Academy - Jillian Tamaki

Podcast Episode 35: Indie Comics Roundup (Sort Of)

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.
