Episode 35: Thief of Thieves and Stand Still, Stay Silent

We can’t quit you, Image

Since starting this comic book podcast about mostly non-Superhero material, Nick and Brock have had to go out of their way to avoid reviewing Image books from time to time. It’s been long enough since the last so this time a Robert Kirkman book is on the table. First, though, Nick saw Red 2 and read Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1. Also, believe it or not, a rationale exists for how webcomics are chosen for CCCP reviews and it’s time to talk about it.

Yes! Robert Kirkman isn’t just the Walking Dead guy (He does have quite an impressive writing catalog) and Nick and Brock are happy to read one of his less depressing works! Thief of Thieves is good ole caper story. Think Ocean’s 11 meets Ocean’s 12 meets another movie very much like Ocean’s 11 and Ocean’s 12 (Ocean’s 13 has been purposefully omitted). Are Image books starting to look a little the same?

Foraging through the the various aggregate sites for webcomics we found another visually impressive work, Stand Still. Stay Silent. Evidently, it will be the Scandinavians that inherit the earth. Who knew? Updating her site four times a week with a new page, Minna Sundberg is appeals to the impatient reader in everyone.

A quick apology. Brock is experiencing some sound problems that were not caught until after this was recorded. The issue should be fixed before next week.
