On this episode, just in time for the May 24 debut of American Born Chinese on Disney+, we take a look at, well, American Born Chinese, written and drawn by Gene Luen Yang, published by First Second! This award-winning graphic novel moves between three characters: The Monkey King, a deity who chafes at being called a monkey; Jin Wang, a child of Chinese immigrants who sees his heritage as an obstacle as he falls in love with an American classmate; and Danny, a typical American teenager whose efforts to fit in at a new school are thwarted by his visiting cousin, a horrible Chinese stereotype named Chin-Kee! How do these stories eventually come together? Can our protagonists learn to accept themselves as they are? And can American Born Chinese gain entrance to that heavenly dinner party known as ... The Comics Canon? In This Episode: · Is it okay to laugh at Chin-Kee? · Peeing in Coke cans: the continuing crisis · Hugonauts: The Best Sci-Fi Books of All Time · Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki · American Barbarian by Tom Scioli Join us in two weeks as we visit one of the most pivotal stories in superhero comics history—The Flash of Two Worlds!

Time Codes: 00:00:28 - Introduction 00:03:16 - Comments on hiatus 00:05:33 - Righteous 00:28:44 - Zen and the Ephemeral 00:48:36 - American Barbarian 01:15:35 - Wrap up 01:16:43 - Contact us The Comics Alternative's monthly webcomics series is back, and for October Sean and Derek discuss three intriguing titles. They begin with Righteous, written by Kevin Sheller and with art by Joseba Morales and colors by Gab Contreras. This is a narrative with a curious premise: What would happen if suddenly, everyone decided to do the right thing? The story focuses on Daniel, a risk analyst who is "touched" by a mysterious entity and then realizes that his work demeans human life and decides to commit himself to helping others. And his attitude becomes infectious. Next, the Two Guys discuss a very recent webcomic (beginning in May), Laurence Dea Dionne's Zen and the Ephemeral. It's the story of Moé, a young woman suffering from depression who decides to spend ten days at a meditation retreat. The narrative is in its early stages -- as of this recording, we're still in the first chapter -- but it reveals the various experiences and feelings that Moé goes through as she becomes acclimated to the retreat and its other participants. Finally, Sean and Derek wrap up with an already completed webcomic, Tom Scioli's American Barbarian. One of the first things that grabs the guys' attention is the heavy influence of Jack Kirby on Scioli's art. Both the character illustration and the kinetic action in the comic bear the stamp of the legend, and not in a derivative way. Scioli utilizes this influence in a way that propels the action forward, providing a story that is reminiscent of Kamandi and Conan the Barbarian. The guys spend a lot of time discussing Scioli's art, but they also mention other webcomics on his website, such Princess, Final Frontier, and his brand new biography of Jack Kirby.
The gang returns! Like, most of the gang. Drew, Julia, and Kaila each take a seat to discuss stories of demon babies, what happens when you're not paying attention, a Singapore artist you've never heard of and more!

In this episode I talk via Skype with comic book creator and artist, Tom Scioli, about his work for IDW, DC Comic's Young Animal line, and his own books, such as American Barbarian and Satan's Soldier. March is Tom Scioli month!
Returning once again from an alternate reality where the 80s are the only decade that mattered, because mankind never saw beyond 1987, are the three purveyors of pulpy pleasure. The stories were all picked to go along with Turbo Kid, a post apocalyptic action flick peppered about with 80s nostalgia. Andrew starts things off with Mouse: A Post-Apocalyptic Short Story. Anything but meek and quiet, Mouse is a girl who’s delivering more than just her mail in a bygone future. Jeronimo champions another entry in the Conan-inspired, apocalyptic, fantasy, Gunthar series with Gunthar and the Purple Priestess of Asshtar. MangaMatt closes with a graphic novel coming from somewhere between a Friday night, drive-in B movie, and a Saturday morning cartoon with American Barbarian.
Tom Scioli is co-writing, drawing, coloring, and lettering the monthly comic book series, Transformers vs. G.I.Joe. His other comics include Godland, American Barbarian, Final Frontier, and Myth of 8-Opus. Ed Piskor is the author/artist of the Hip Hop Family Tree – a weekly comic strip on Boing Boing and an ongoing book series that chronicles the history of hip hop in comics form. He is also the creator of Wizzywig. They share a studio in Pittsburgh. We visited their studio to talk about what it’s like being professional comic book artists, selling their work, nostalgia, research, color theory, anger management, and "skewmorphism!"
Today, Graeme McMillan joins Jeff Lester for a pre-Thanksgiving ninety minute installment where comics are read, TV shows are recapped, and trash is politely talked. Among the books covered today: Harley Quinn #0, Scooby-Doo Team Up #1, Afterlife with Archie #2, Sex Criminals #3 and other comics that don’t fit into that coincidental and convenient numerical sequence like American Barbarian, Batwoman #25, Essential Captain America Vol. 7 and more! The show notes are fast and furious—or at least fast—at savagecritic.com, and we always welcome your comments and questions at WaitWhatPodcast@gmail.com. As always, we hope you enjoy and thank you for listening!
