    House of Comics #47: "When I see you again"

    Welcome to House of Comics #47! We know that we have been pretty abstract with the topics this season. After comic book/wine pairings (see HoC #43) and 5-on-5 X-Men pickup games (see HoC #45), we figured it would be nice to do an episode for newer readers and new listeners of the pod. Since most people are more familiar with film than graphic novels, we decided to go through some classic movie genres and talk about some comic books that would fall into those genres. We get into our personal opinions and philosophies around the genres and why we choice the books that we did. Accessibility was a key factor, but we also made sure to provide you with books that we could recommend to just about anyone looking for the goods in this medium. If you've seen every Mission Impossible movie or every A24 film, this is the one for you.

    Welcome to House of Comics #43! In an ambitious attempt to match select wines with comic books series that we felt paired well with said wines, we discovered that we may very well be developing the art of the comic book sommelier. From the dynamic aromatics of an indie superhero series to the pungent, full-bodied nature of an intergalactic love story, we somehow made this make sense. We also managed to squeeze in our Bad Batch impressions and talk about 40% of the books we read last week (and yes, the pod is still this long!).

We previously did a music-themed episode, but this time around we got a bit more abstract and made it a lot more interactive for you all. First, we played a kind of, “who’s who” style game that allowed us to frame people, organizations, and ideas in both industries in away that allowed us to dive into similarities and draw some connections. AND THEN we talk about some of our favorite album covers and some of our favorite comic book artists that we would like to see put their creative spin on those albums. Sound like a lot?
