Podcast 74 - Southern Gothic

July 4, 2017

In which our heroes find quite a lot to say about a genre that barely exists in comics.

Southern gothic persists as a genre in all other mediums, so why is that deliciously swampy style so under-represented in comics? An investigation brought to you by big words, a fetish for Spanish moss, and that half-glimpsed face at the window of the ol' plantation house.

We talked about:

  • Iceman - Sina Grace and Alessandro Vitti
  • Winnebago Graveyard - Steve Niles, Alison Sampson, Stephane Paitreau
  • The Unsound - Cullen Bunn, Jack T. Cole
  • Grass Kings - Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenkins
  • The Stone Heart (Nameless City Vol.2) - Faith Erin Hicks, Jordie Bellaire
  • Bulletproof Coffin: The 1000 Yard Stare - Shaky Kane and David Hine
  • Godshaper - Si Spurrier and Jonas Goonface
  • Black Hammer - Jeff lemire and Dean Ormston
  • Harrow County - Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crook
  • Will O' The Wisp - Tom Hammock and Megan Hutchinson
  • Swamp Thing - Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette et al
  • Wet Moon - Sophie Campbell

Apologies for the occasional spurt of someone else's voice on the background of this one. Some people just don't know how to use their indoor voice.

Have we missed something obvious? Tell us in the comments so we can read it because looking forward to Snagglepuss is a sad state of affairs.

ConSequential Podcast 61 - Fantasy

Podcast 61 - Fantasy

September 7, 2016

We bravely set out to find the very best in fantasy comics, but we got badly sidetracked and got eaten by a Groo, a monster from a videogame that shares its name with a fantasy comic we didn't actually cover. Will that do? I tried.

There's a weird lack of fantasy comics, so we try to figure out why what Mr Hart so kindly refers to as "Elves and Swords and Bollocks" isn't as prevalent as other genres.

We covered:

  • A City Inside - Tillie Walden
  • Oishinbo - Tetsu Kariya, Akira Hanasaki
  • Black Monday Murders - Jonathan Hickman, Tomm Coker
  • Dicebox - Jenn Manley Lee
  • Echo’s Rift  Jennifer Potter
  • Unsounded - Ashley Cope
  • Stand Still, Stay Silent - Minna Sundberg
  • The Lost Oracle - Lho Brockhoff
  • Cry Havoc - Si Spurrier, Ryan Kelly, Nick Filardi, Matt Wilson, Lee Loughridge
  • Weirdworld - Sam Humphries, Michael Del Mundo
  • Injection - Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey, Jordie Bellaire
  • Pretty Deadly - Kelly-Sue DeConnick, Emma Rios, Jordie Bellaire
  • Ghastly - "Ghastly" (This is very not safe for work you guys)
