Description

It's the first of the month, and that must mean that it's time, once again, for the Two Guys with PhDs to take a conversational stroll through the latest Previews catalog. For the month of June, there is an inordinately large number of notable titles for Derek and Andy W. to discuss, making this a longer-than-average episode (a little over two hours). So strap in and get ready to boogie! Among the many solicits they highlight are from publishers such as Dark Horse Comics - Briggs Land #1, Lady Killer 2 #1, Moebius Library: The World of Edena, and Terminal City: Library Edition DC/Vertigo - The Hellblazer #1 and Survivors' Club IDW Publishing/Top Shelf - The Adventures of Augusta Wind, Vol. 2 #1, Superf*ckers Forever #1, The Killer Inside Me #1, March: Book 3, and Ditko Unleashed Image Comics - The Black Monday Murders #1, Kill or Be Killed #1, Demonic #1, Prince of Cats, and Solstice Abstract Studios - Rachel Rising Omnibus AfterShock - Animosity #1 Alternative Comics - 23 Skidoo, At the Shore, Fancy Froglin Uncensored, and Vile #2 Big Planet/Retrofit Comics - Hellbound: Lifestyle BOOM!

They also share some audience feedback and encourage everyone to go to the podcast's iTunes page to leave a rating and review, if they haven't already.  In other words, do your part for The Comics Alternative!

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.
