Podcast Episode 23 - Spies

August 14, 2014

Spies are everywhere. Probably. They're hard to see and we're paranoid. It's the booze.

There are plenty of fantastic spy comics, running from crazy hi-octane in the campiest, most sci-fi Bond mould to quiet, tense and introspective thrillers. This week we go over some of our favourites and talk some right old nonsense.

This week we covered:

  • Nothing is Forgotten - Ryan Andrews
  • Seconds - Bryan Lee O'Malley
  • Moon Knight - Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey, Jordie Bellaire
  • Skim - Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki
  • Rat Queens - Curtis Weibe and Roc Upchurch
  • Judge Dredd: Trifecta - Al Ewing, Simon Spurrier, Rob Williams, Henry Flint, Simon Coleby, D'Israeli, Carl Critchlow
  • The Bojeffries Saga - Alan Moore and Steve Parkhouse
  • The Coldest City - Anthony Johnston and Sam Hart
  • Modesty Blaise - Peter ODonnell and Enric Badia Romero
  • Casanova - Matt Fraction, Fabio Moon, Gabriel Ba
  • Secret Avengers - Various
  • Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D - Jim Steranko
  • Desolation Jones - Warren Ellis and J.H. Williams III
  • Global Frequency - Various
  • Red - Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner

That book on Bond:

  • The Man Who Saved Britain - Simon Winder

And a lovely song with the word "Spies" in the title:
