We came back for round 2 of Bitch Planet! If you know the first volume, then you know the premise of a prison planet that was built to house disobedient females away from the male-controlled Earth, and you also know about the cliffhanger vol 1 left us on. Well we couldn't sit with that nonsense, so we dived back in so we could find out how the second and final volume wraps up. --Hit us up at comicpatrolpod@gmail.com if you want to add a submission for a future Arc Analysis-- --Follow the Weapons on Twitter @Comic_Patrol for some extra tidbits of fun (we maybe promise it isn't clown dick pics)--

And there came a time when Ian finally found the opportunity to release recordings made at recent conventions. That time is indeed today! Depending on your definition of recent, that is. First, we flash back to last year's Anime NYC, just in time for this year's Anime NYC, as Ian interviews manga translator for books such as Cat + Gamer and Marvel's Demon Wars, writer and beer buddy, Zack Davisson, as well as artist Robert Wilson IV from Oni Press' Heartthrob, Vault's Barbaric: The Harvest Blades, Bitch Planet issue 3, and a bunch of posters for bands such as Metallica and Weird Al! We then flash forward to New York Comic Con 2023, as Ian runs through his experiences at the convention, followed by convo on the floor with Donovan Morgan Grant and artist and creator extraordinaire, Mr. Jamal Igle. This includes discussion of The Harvey Awards, the existence of Death Note: The Musical, attending the Steve Ditko panel on a whim, and so much more. (1:28:32)

My idea of a lovely afternoon involves talking with Kelly Sue DeConnick! She is the acclaimed comic book writer with works that include: BITCH PLANET, PRETTY DEADLY, AQUAMAN, CAPTAIN MARVEL & the her newest release Wonder Woman Historia. The post 316. Best of: Kelly Sue DeConnick on Wonder Woman Historia, Greek tragedy and tae kwan do first appeared on Sifu Mimi Chan.

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of Spider-Man on his 60th anniversary. We cover a lot of ground on the web-slinger, from history to movies to The Man himself. Plus our usual random talk, geek news, and tangents

We're joined by Dr. Shelly Clevenger, professor of criminology and victim studies, and chair of the Department of Victim Studies at Sam Houston State University, to discuss BITCH PLANET, the feminist dystopian comic book by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine DeLandro, published by Image Comics. Dr. Clevenger, who is also a gender scholar, discusses crime and criminal justice through the lens of gender and gender identity and answers the question of what all of it has to do with the idea of "collapse." Among the topics covered include Roe vs. Wade, the Texas ban of abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial, a shocking historical government program to arrest and imprison women suspected of having STDs without due process, and many other issues affecting women - especially working class women, women of color, queer women, and trans women - in an age of increasing dystopia.      ***NO SPOILERS for Bitch Planet***      LINKS Dr. Shelly Clevenger faculty page https://www.shsu.edu/~icc_www/_inc/dir.php?mode=view&item=467   Department of Victim Studies page at Sam Houston State University http://catalog.shsu.edu/graduate-and-professional/college-departments/criminal-justice/victim-studies/   Dr. Shelly Clevenger on Twitter https://twitter.com/drclevenger   Gendering Criminology by Shelly Clevenger and Jordana N.

Kelly Sue DeConnick is best known for surprise hits like Carol Danvers' rebranding as Captain Marvel and the Eisner-nominated mythological western, PRETTY DEADLY; the latter was co-created with artist Emma Ríos. The sci-fi kidney-punch called BITCH PLANET, co-created with Valentine De Landro, launched to rave reviews in December 2014 and has since been nominated for an Eisner. She currently writes AQUAMAN for DC as well as develops television for Legendary TV with her husband and partner, Matt Fraction, as Milkfed Criminal Masterminds.

Kelly Sue DeConnick is a trailblazing comic book writer. She is credited with creating the new and improved version of the Captain Marvel heroine Carol Danvers that influenced the story foundation for the 2019 Captain Marvel movie. In response to criticism about her feminism, she created the series Bitch Planet, which has inspired a whole generation of female comic book readers. She moved from Marvel to DC comics where she reimagined the Aquaman series and, most recently, she completed DC's Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons. Adrienne Mayor, is a pre-eminent folklorist and research scholar in the history of science and classics at Stanford University. She has written more than a half-dozen award winning books, including the seminal works The Amazons: Lives and Legends of Warrior Women Across the Ancient World and Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology. Her latest title, Flying Snakes and Griffin Claws, and Other Classical Myths, Historical Oddities, and Scientific Curiosities, was released in early 2022. Though a generation apart, these two accomplished women begin their discussion with a mutual-admiration love-fest, and then dive into a spirited dialogue that includes super heroes, the myth of a female utopia, grieving like the Greeks and the consequences of having sex at Aphrodite's shrine.

It's because of you we can keep this community running!Exciting news, lovers of fan fiction! This week's guests, Justine Mastin and Larisa Garski wrote a book all about the therapeutic power of fan fiction called Starship Therapise.Modern mythologies are everywhere–from the Avengers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the dragons of Game of Thrones. Where once geek culture was niche and hidden, fandom characters and stories have blasted their way into our cineplexes, bookstores, and streaming systems. They help us make sense of our daily lives–and they can also help us heal. Mental health therapists and Starship Therapise podcast hosts Larisa A. Garski and Justine Mastin offer a self-help guide to the mental health galaxy for those who have been left out in more traditional therapy spaces: geeks, nerds, gamers, cosplayers, introverts, and all of their friends.Starship Therapise explores the ways in which narratives and play inform the shape of our lives, inviting readers to embrace radical self-care with lessons from Westworld's Maeve and Dolores, explore anxiety with Miyazaki, and understand narrative therapy with Arya Stark. Spanning fandom from Star Wars to Harry Potter, The Legend of Zelda to Steven Universe, and everywhere in between, Starship Therapise is an invitation to explore mental health and emotional wellness without conforming to mainstream social constructions.Insights from comics like Uncanny X-Men, Black Panther, Akira, Bitch Planet, The Wicked + Divine, and Batman offer avenues to growth and self-discovery alongside explorations of the triumphs and trials of heroes, heroines, and beloved characters from Star Wars, Wuthering Heights, The Lord of the Rings, The Broken Earth trilogy, Mass Effect, Fortnite, Minecraft, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Star Trek. Each chapter closes with a hands-on mindfulness, meditation, or yoga exercise to inspire reflection, growth, and the mind-body-fandom connection.If that sounds up your alley, you can order now, follow @starship_therapise online, and listen to Starship Therapise wherever you listen to podcasts.Special thanks to our executive producers for this episode Geeklery, Galaxy Gear Boutique, NW Nerd Podcast, and Karen Hallion.If you enjoyed this episode, you might love the rest of our episodes!

If I tell you our guest started in comics adapting to english thousands of pages of Japanese and Korean comics, maybe it won't ring a bell, but if I mention Captain Marvel, Pretty Deadly, Bitch Planet, Aquaman or the upcoming Historia: The Amazons, I'm pretty you'll know who I'm talking about. She is one of the most successful and influential writers in all of comics. I am talking, of course, about the amazing KELLY-SUE DeCONNICK!!! We've talked the language, the craft, music, science, movies, tv, and how they relate to comics... and about everything in between. More than 2 hours of in-depth conversation about how the creator relates to the art, how two creators become a third entity, how the conversation happens and makes you closer to your collaborator, and how we all become family in the end.

The discussion around these issues has obviously evolved since the halcyon days of 03.14.20. Educate yourself. Get out and march. Practice active advocacy. https://blacklivesmatter.com/ Alternatively:Bitch Planet Vol. 1 : Bait and Switch Bitch Planet, Vol. 1: Extraordinary Machine Paperback by Kelly Sue DeConnick (Author), Valentine De Landro (Artist) Facebook Statement: Since recording this episode, many protests and decisions and statements have come out. It would be difficult to capture all of those statements and experiences in an episode summary, and we feel that a brief summary would be a disservice to groups working towards defunding police forces, stopping police brutality, and fighting for equity for all. However, we do advocate for listeners to educate themselves on anti-racism, the act of fighting racism in the United States. There are a lot of readings available about anti-racism. To make your journey with anti-racism easier, we recommend looking to The Raven Bookstore. They have many recommendations and summaries for series, and The Raven is the store that turned one host onto the title “Stamped: Racism, Anti-racism and You.” ( https://www.ravenbookstore.com/book/9780316453691 ) Remember, Black Lives Matter.

It's time for another episode of PREVIOUSLY ON, as we return to the world of Kelly Sue Deconnick and Valentine Delandro's BITCH PLANET. Just like last time, we set out to do a standard Bite-Sized Episode and end up talking for much longer than intended, because this comic gives us FEELINGS (mostly rage). This week, we're discussing BITCH PLANET: TRIPLE FEATURE #1, which includes three short tales set in the wider universe of BITCH PLANET and written by three new fantastic creative teams. We run the gamut of pop culture misogyny on this one, from the music industry to the NFL, to politics and office harassment. It's almost impossible to avoid tangents because every instance of awfulness in the story resonates with us due to the awfulness we have experienced in real life. Usually we try to keep our show funny and light-hearted but hot damn if this book doesn't get us riled up good and proper. So grab your favorite full-calorie snack, pour yourself a glass of wine, hug a woman you love, and join us as we try to work through the torrent of feelings inspired by BITCH PLANET: TRIPLE FEATURE #1.

They begin with Margaret Atwood and Johnnie Christmas's Angel Catbird, Vol. 1 (Dark Horse Books), a unique amalgamation of Golden Age superhero comics, environmental awareness, and ailurophilia. This is the first mainstream comics foray for Atwood, a Canadian novelist, poet, and winner of the Man Booker Prize. Andy and Derek spend a good deal of time talking about the tone of this book as well as its intended, or perhaps inferred, readers. They also sense a faint whiff of "Omaha" the Cat Dancer. Next, the guys turn their attention to the new addition to the Fables world, Everafter #1 (Vertigo Comics). Written by David Justus and Matthew Sturges, and with art by Travis Moore, this new title picks up where Bill Willingham's long-running series left off. Several of the old Fables make their ways into this first issue, but what appears to distinguish Everafter from the original run is its emphasis on adventure, similar to Chris Roberson's Cinderella stories. Finally, Andy and Derek discuss the first issue in the new Image Comics series, Glitterbomb. This is Jim Zub's look at the exploitative nature of Hollywood culture, but with a healthy dose of horror thrown in. The guys wonder if this series will adopt a polemical tone similar to Bitch Planet. And they are especially taken by the art of newcomer Djibril Morissette-Phan.

Fan Expo Dallas was held May 29-31, and this year Derek was there in Artists Alley talking with a variety of creators. Some of those he spoke with are famous names and individuals who have been on the show before. Others were new to him and, and Derek used the opportunity to introduce himself and Comics Alternative listeners to their fascinating works. He begins by talking with two artists who have spoken with him at various cons in the past, Robert Wilson IV and Joe Eisma. The latter shares his experiences having illustrated Bitch Planet #3, the amount of attention that has brought him, and his warm relationship with Kelly Sue DeConnick. Robert also follows up on the success of Knuckleheads, which was released as a book last summer from IDW. Joe Eisma talks not only about his most recent work on Morning Glories, now in its second "season," but also about doing a variant cover for the relaunch of Archie. After that, Derek speaks with two teams of creators whose work he has just discovered. Through Stephen G. Totten and his friend Mike, he learns about the webcomic Angry Cuddles, and how this work (written by Stephen and illustrated by Joseph A. Valero III) has recently become a video podcast. Derek also talks with Mark Schmidt, publisher of Stratum Comics, and his partner, Vince Chuter. Their title, The Threat, is an action comic reminiscent of Heroes placed in a Judge Dredd-type universe. Next, Derek talks with Steve Epting about Velvet -- the second trade has recently been released -- and the kind of fan response he's been getting at the con. Steve shares a few words about working with Ed Brubaker on this creator-owned title as well as their collaboration on Captain America and Winter Soldier. After that, Jemma Young introduces Derek to her webcomic, Children of Eldair, her collaboration with its writer, Rachel A. Oaks, the title's dedicated fanbase, and the challenges of putting out installments on a regular basis. Derek also meets Hector Rodriguez whose El Peso Hero, published through Rio Bravo Comics, is a potent mixture of superhero stories, sociopolitical commentary, and an exploration of race relations on the Southwestern border. Finally, Derek wraps up with Ellen Natalie, whose webcomic Furry Experience provides a glimpse into young adult experiences as they relate to religion, relationships, and coming of age. This was a particularly busy convention, and The Comics Alternative thanks all of these creators for taking the time to share their thoughts and experiences with its listeners.

On this episode of The Comics Alternative, Derek and Andy review three new and exciting titles. First, they look at Richard McGuire's Here (Pantheon) a project that actually goes back to 1989. A different, black-and-white 6-page version of the comic appeared in the first issue of Raw Vol. 2,  Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly's groundbreaking comics anthology that ran from 1980 until 1991. The new book doesn't include or build directly off of that original comic, but it does use the design and concept as a springboard into the larger, more ambitious project. Everything that takes place in this story -- and the guys use the word of "story" loosely, here -- is anchored in one physical space, the corner of a room. What McGuire does is to give us a history of that particular space, revealing events that took place in that area over a span of centuries. The "movement" within the narrative is strictly temporal, reaching back into the prehistoric past (the earliest year being 3,000, 500, 000 BCE) and pushing into a speculative future (the year 22,175). McGuire accomplishes this through an arrangement of two-page spreads, inlaid or nested panels, and precise placements of images that, taken together, provide visual and even thematic coherence. Indeed, it seems as if events across time resonate and interact. This is the kind of book that is difficult to appreciate fully outside of the actual reading process, and it's one that requires diligent and repeated efforts, each of which will be richly rewarded. After their involved discussion of Here -- and the Two Guys spend the better part of this episode on McGuire's work -- Andy and Derek look at two new #1 issues. The first is Wolf Moon, written by Cullen Bunn and with art by Jeremy Haun (Vertigo). This is the first of a 6-issue miniseries based on the werewolf myth. However, Bunn gives his supernatural retelling a unique spin, creating a lycanthrope narrative where physical transformation isn't the only effects of a full moon. Haun's art is appropriately dark, ill-defined in places, and violent. There's a lot of blood in this first issue, and Wolf Moon promises to be a title that isn't for the squeamish. After that, the guys turn to the new comic from Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine de Landro, Bitch Planet (Image). Both Derek and Andy like this first issue and plan on continuing to read the series, but they nonetheless disagree as to the impact or accomplishments of this inaugural installment. Andy feels that this is a successful #1 that does everything it's supposed to do. In fact, this may be one of his favorite single issues of the year. However, Derek feels that this is a story that will read better in trade, in that the first issue seemed incomplete and required more story space for effective immersion. There needs to be more there there. What's more, he felt that Danielle Henderson's mini-essay at the end of the issue was unnecessary and potentially undermined the impact of the story itself. While Andy felt that this was a useful supplement that helped to set a critical or thematic framework -- and it does -- Derek sees the essay as an expository exercise that tells (not shows) the reader what the series is all about. Instead, he feels that DeConnick and de Landro's story should speak for itself, especially in this first issue. (Although Henderson's essay would make a nice supplement to a future collected edition.) Still, both guys agree that this is an intriguing title that both will continue reading...if  not monthly, then in trade.

It's a road that includes asshole driving instructors, comics creators having conversations with chain restaurants, squishy faced Jedi, and the continued prattling of sandy-vagina voiced Alan Moore. And in comics there's the butt-stuff of Sex Criminals, the maneater of Fatale, and the syphilitics tinged history of Manifest Destiny.
