Episode 61: Ghostopolis and roomZER0

The Friendly Dead

Nick and Brock have reviewed children’s comics before for this comic book podcast but few and far between are those from which adults will derive just as much joy as younger readers. Ghostopolis has charm, but does it fit into that category? A dying boy visiting the afterlife sounds like a depressing story from Image, but this the first book they’ve reviewed that is published by Scholastic. They publish comics?

Nick and Brock squeeze in a webcomic as often as they can and for this week, Brock found roomZERO on Tapastic. This horror comic takes advantage of some of the advantages of a web format but hopefully readers will see some of the meat of the story emerge in Chapter 2.

In the news, Marvel is merging the current universe, Earth-616, and the Ultimate universe. It’s another reboot, folks. How can this be turned into a conversation about Star Wars? Just add one fanatic named Brock.

Dragging out the shameless self-promotion for another week, Brock posted the last page of Duplicity on the Schlock Works website, but you should still go buy it on Amazon for $2.99.
