Episode 37: Transmetropolitan and Lost Nightmare

In a row?

What does Star Wars have to do with a comic book podcast? Besides the Dark Horse series, not much, but Brock loves to talk Star Wars whenever he gets a chance, so some casting talk is in order.

Nick is a sucker for non-superhero books written by UK authors so Brock put a gun to his head and forced him to read Transmetropolitan, written by Warren Ellis and drawn by Darick Robertson. Future stories are always fun but looking through the filter of a gonzo journalist is a flavor that takes the reader on a completely unpredictable trip. It’s not all sunshine, ice cream, and puppy dogs, however. Nick and Brock try not to let the book off light on a rather glaring point.

If Tim Burton were to make a story about dreams and nightmares, it would probably look a lot like Lost Nightmare by Miyuli (that’s all the name that could be found so that’s what is being printed here). It’s still a little early in this comic’s development, but enough is out there to see if this is worth following for the long haul.
