Episode 38: Marvel 1602 and It Will All Hurt

CCCP gone Renaissance Superhero?

Brock’s been battling on forums again so he’s getting on his soapbox about Amazon’s acquisition of Comixology at the opening of this week’s comic book podcast. Is the web just full of fatalist whiners?

Nick is not a superhero universe fan, but Brock seems to be taking revenge or the horrible books he was forced to read before by making Nick read Marvel 1602. It’s Neil Gaiman so there is something alluring at the outset. The Marvel universe characters get jumbled up and save the world but does good writing overcome all?

Out in surreal corner of the webcomicverse is It Will All Hurt by Farel Dalrymple. Surreal comics can walk the line from brilliant to incomprehensible. Have a listen as Nick and Brock discuss their different takes.
