The Nerds Podcast: Comics We Should Read & Web Comics
Episode 2 of The Nerds takes a look at web comics, and what should you be reading. Spoilers, we all profess our love for Kate Beaton. We also do a show and tell of comics we think everyone would have fun reading. We go from the strange, as in Doctor; all the way to the strange, as in woman becoming a house after falling in love with it.
We also talk about what gets us into a web comic, and what peaks our interest enough to pick up a book. The usual nerds are here for the conversation. Join Diana, James, Miles, and myself for some great conversations about comics you may not know.
On a personal note, Diana lent me The Defenders from this episode, and it was great. It was an unlikely comics team that works. I recommend it for anyone who wants to see a neat mash up of super heroes come together. Here’s a list of all the comics and web comics we talked about, check them out, you may find something you love.
