Episode 33: 30 Days of Night and Fisheye Placebo

More undead but 100% more manga!

Nick and Brock kick off this comic book podcast talking about business model of Tapastic, a webcomic destination with a large manga selection. The next part should be prefaced by saying that Nick is a Doctor Who fan. However, he goes at “The Stolen Earth” with a verbal baseball bat of hate. Also, unsurprisingly, Brock had to explain Marvel’s The Guardians of the Galaxy and why Nick had never heard of it. They also manage to squeeze Baby Metal into the intro. Why not?

Under the microscope this week is the arctic vampire story 30 Days of Night. For as much as Brock and Nick get tired of reading books with undead in them, for some reason they keep digging up all the books that attack the concept from different angles. To mix it up a bit, the first manga style comic to be reviewed on CCCP with the beautiful webcomic Fisheye Placebo. A naive protagonist being dragged into a revolution against an oppressive regime. Is it possible this story has been seen before?

Brock apologizes for the subpar sound from his mic. He WILL be buying a pop filter next week and working on the microphone setup.
