Comic Book Podcast Episode 8: Chew and Minor Acts of Heroism

Grandmothers, Cibopaths, and Child Heroes, oh my.

We’ve finished off the last of our grandmothers so we’re back this week to take a look a Image’s Chew which has a little dead people eating action. Our dead grandmothers have nothing to do with the topic. We didn’t eat them, in case you were curious. Actually, Brock may have. It’s best not to ask. We also flip back to a web comic that is publishing full issues now on Comixology, Minor Acts of Heroism. A little manga style, a little super hero action, a little different than what we normally read but Brock picked it so we read it.

Next week, we take the comic book podcast on a trip to happy land with Maus, a classic comic about the Holocaust with Jews as mice, Nazis as cats, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centuri are small furry creatures from Alpha Centuri. Ok, the last part is a random Douglas Adams quote, but I haven’t finished Maus yet and it is entirely possible the furry creatures from Alpha Centuri were there with the mice in concentration camps. Nazis probably wouldn’t have liked them, either.
