    WCPEver Episode 367 - 2021 Summer Reading | Astro City: Life In The Big City

    On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, we continue our summer reading program with the original Astro City mini-series from 1995. This started a new universe that has spawned countless homages over its 100+ issue run. 

    Written by Kurt Busiek, interior art by Brent Anderson, and cover art by Alex Ross, Astro City introduces us to multiple characters, situations, and one-of-a-kind moments that can only occur in a big city, albeit one filled with super-heroes. 

    We are joined in the studio by friend-of-the-show Bill Schmidt who suggested the Astro City series to us. 

    We would love to hear your comments on the show. Let us know what you’ve been reading or watching this week. Contact us on our website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or email. We want to hear from you! As always, we are the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER! and we hope you enjoy the show.

    Episode #078 - Welcome to Astro City #23 - A Visitor's Guide

    This podcast series is an issue by issue rating and review show for the creator owned series Kurt Busiek's Astro City. The series is the creation of writer Kurt Busiek and artists Brent Anderson on interior art with Alex Ross on character design and covers. The series examines the world of superheroes from different angles looking from a point of view of bystanders, supervillains, and the costs of being a superhero.

    In this episode we will discuss the special one-shot of Kurt Busiek's Astro City titled "A Visitor's Guide". This issue is an excellent jumping on for new readers. In this episode, Sean and I discuss our fan casting of Astro City characters in response to recent news of an Astro City TV Show being green lit.
