Episode 60: Wayward and Star Wars: Shattered Empire

Sweet tears of Brock's disappointment

Brock is getting better. This episode is only about 30% Star Wars. It’s like weening an addict off heroin who is only slightly more annoying than Nick Clark from Fear the Walking Dead. A more difficult addiction for both Brock and CCCP’s Nick to break is reviewing Image books and this week will not be just a one issue dose.

This week our Image comics dealer delivers an American comics take on an manga type story with Wayward. A cat girl, an exploding introverted boy, and the main character kicking off the comic as a transfer student? Jim Zub (isn’t that just a fun name to type?) takes all the common manga tropes and manages to make them fresh and entertaining in this mash of Japanese mythology and superpowered teenagers on the streets of modern day Tokyo.

Far less super, much to Nick’s delight, is Star Wars: Shattered Empire. Nothing is more fun than getting Brock to talk about bad Star Wars comics and Marvel is batting about .200 right now.

Oh, and Brock finished a comic so you should go check it out. That means you should be clicking that link below to grab it on Amazon instead of reading on this website you freeloading bastard. Clicking those Ebay links reminding you to buy that She-Hulk in a swimsuit iPhone 6 case you’ve had on your watch list for the past 3 weeks doesn’t pay the bills for this comic book podcast. You might even enjoy it. How about that?
