Comic Book Podcast | Talking Comics

NOW on SPOTIFY!This week, Aaron Amos joins the boys to talk about a TON of different comics, mostly through the lens of representation and power. In discussions of Far Sector and Black Panther and Miles Morales and Batman and the X-Men, the gang questions what the future looks like—who does it belong to? Who gets to tell the story? Who is valued? Things get heavy, but things stay nerdy throughout. This is a good one, y’all.Time Stamps:00:02:53 - Lightning Rounds!!!~Break~01:21:21 - Open Discussion: Adventureman #101:34:00 - News01:59:38 - Listener Questions02:35:00 - NCBD02:39:45 - Post-CreditsComics talked this week: Aquaman #59, Lois Lane #11, Deadpool #5, Amethyst #3, Matt Baker: The Art of Glamour, Adventureman #1, Green Lantern/Green Arrow, Black Panther: Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda, Far Sector #1-5, Buffy: Every Generation, Bitter Root #8, Niobe: She Is Life, E.X.O.
