Episode 4: Hereville

We wish to bid a fond farewell to Podomatic. They helped us through our early days, but we have grown beyond them. We are now on PodBean. Check us out at Comicbookofthemonth.podbean.com! Re-subscribe and continue to enjoy our banter. Thanks again for all your support, The Comic Book Crew.

Dylan, Keith and (special guest) Vicky went to the 2011 A.P.E. and had a long discussion about their experiences and some of the creators you may not have heard of, but really should be watching. There are way too many to thank in these show notes, so go to comicbookofthemonth.blogspot.com to take a look at all the creators. The song is Bongo Bong by Manu Chao.

It's been a while, and Swan and Dylan went on a pretty long tangent, so we threw in a bonus conversation on comic decompression, Two Cats Comic Book Store and a little bit on the DC NEW 52. (Even we aren't immune) "Dub Psychosis" performed by PLACEBO

WOOHOO! CBotMP is back with a new episode. Small crew this time. Just Swan and Dylan. But we managed to get quite a bit out of Erfworld. Discussing tropes and pop culture and the surprisingly subversive work of Rob Balder. The continuing adventures of Parson Gotte definitely get the endorsement of these two crew members. "Heavy Metal In the Night" performed by Dream Evil

SWAN'S TRIUMPHANT RETURN! Chris, Dylan, Keith, Nicole and Swan discuss the cornerstone of Marvel's epic line spanning event "Civil War" written by Mark Millar, penciled by Steve McNiven, inked by Dexter Vines and colored by Morry Hollowell. Does the book stand alone? Which crewmember sides with registration and who rebels against it? What's the deal with Mark Millar's women? What would it take to get Dylan to buy a Marvel crossover tie-in? We attempt to answer these questions and more in this earth shattering episode!  "Civil War" written & performed by Robert Cassard.

Aurora, Chris, Corey, Dylan, Keith and Nicole gather around the laptop to discuss Mark Millar's mini-epic Superman: Red Son. We talk about Superman as icon, communism in comics and there's also a lengthy tirade about female representation in comics. "The Court of the Crimson King" written by Ian McDonald & Peter Sinfield, Performed by King Crimson

Small crew this month. Chris, Dylan, Keith and Nicole gather around the laptop for an in depth discussion about GB Tran's first original graphic novel: VIETNAMERICA. We talk about the Vietnam war, calling our families and even the difference between a graphic novel, a trade paperback and a comic book. "My Generation" written by Pete Townshend, Performed by Conor Coughlan

The Comic Book Crew reviews Hereville by Barry Deutsch and discuss his refreshing new take on fairy tales. Crew Members: Aurora, Chris, Corey, Dylan, Keith, Nicole and Swan. Intro song was: "Mariella." Written and performed by Kate Nash
