Comic Book Podcast Episode 29: 100 Bullets and Gone with the Blastwave

Revenge Fantasies Galore and the Boredom of Soldiers

Revenge stories seem to touch us all and Brian Azzarello’s 100 Bullets is one of the better revenge fantasy stories we’ve ever read. He mixes in episodic revenge fantasy with over-arching Illuminati-style subterfuge themes. We also talk a little Star Wars news, how JJ Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan are switching up the themes of Episode Seven to bring focus back to the familiar trio of Han, Luke, and Leia. Not comic related but we’re several different shades of geek and our interests span well outside the realm of comics. Our webcomic this week is our favorite gaming related, dystopian comedy strip, Gone with the Blastwave. We admit, we took it easy on ourselves in this week’s comic book podcast and read two of the better comics we’ve reviewed in quite some time.
