Description

Where did October go?! You mean the month is over, and it's already time to look at the November Previews catalog? YES! And as usual the Two Guys with PhDs rise to the occasion, looking through the most interesting solicitations and making the kind of astute observations as only they can do. For example, Andy and Derek notice an unusually large number of Spanish comics making their way into this month's listings. Is this a mere coincidence? Or might this be the kind of ethnic migratory crisis spouted by the likes of Donald J. Trump? Resisting any tendency to go batshit orange, the guys stick to the matter at hand, calmly and methodically going through the November Previews catalog and highlighting upcoming titles from publishers such as Dark Horse Comics - Black Hammer Giant-Sized Annual, Will Eisner: The Centennial Celebration, 1917-2017, and Reefer Madness DC/Vertigo - Kamandi Challenge #1 and Kid Eternity, Book One IDW Publishing/Top Shelf - Box Office Poison: Color Comics #1, Flight of the Raven, and Behaving Madly: Zany, Loco, Cockeyed, Rip-Off Satire Magazines Image Comics - Curse Words #1, The Few #1, God Country #1, and Loose Ends #1 Aardvark Vanaheim - Cerebus in Hell #1 Abrams ComicArts - Octavia Butler's Kindred: A Graphic Novel Aftershock - Blood Blister #1 and Animosity: The Rise Big Planet/Retrofit Comics - Libby's Dad BOOM!

Titles in the series (100)

A weekly podcast focusing on the world of alternative, independent, and primarily non-superhero comics. (There's nothing wrong with superhero comics. We just want to do something different.) New podcast episodes become available every Wednesday and include reviews of graphic novels and current ongoing series, discussions of upcoming comics, examinations of collected editions, in-depth analyses of a variety of comics texts, and spotlights on various creators and publishers. The Comics Alternative also produces "special feature" programs, such as shows specifically dedicated to creator interviews, webcomics, on-location events, and special non-weekly themes and topics.
