Description

Hold on to your butts! It's another
substantive, jam-packed episode where the Two Guys look through the
latest Previews catalog. And for May, Andy W.
and Derek see a lot of good stuff, enough to make this a
longer-than-average episode. (Yes, the guys are going into 2+ hours
territory again, but only slightly.) Among the many
solicits Andy and Derek highlight are of titles from
publishers such as

In addition, Derek and Andy discuss
other matters, including a correction from last week's publisher spotlight -- Melissa
Mendes's Lou is actually an Alternative Comics
publication, not from Hic + Hoc -- and an email of appreciation
they received from Jon Allen whose book, Ohio Is for Sale, was discussed in
that same episode. They also talk a little bit about this coming
weekend's Free Comic Book Day, wonder over the
new Image+ insert magazine (and Andy is pissed
that he didn't get one with his copy of Previews),
poke fun at Millarworld, and point out the truly freaky and
absolutely unnecessary Big Head Walking
Dead figures they saw in the catalog.

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.
