Podcasts about blue delliquanti

We're back to read volumes 2 and 3 of "O Human Star" by Blue Delliquanti. This time we get into the trans text and subtext of the series, how metaphor and text support each other, and break down the main characters to see what makes them tick. We've got an alternate political universe, a true AI singularity, disability representation, a long-expected Astroboy moment, and some unexpected difficulties with pho to get through. Let's go! Music by Sleuth. Our next episode will be on "Our Dreams at Dusk" by Yuhki Kamatani.

This episode is on the first volume of "O Human Star" by Blue Delliquanti. Read the webcomic and then listen to our thoughts on planning a webcomic, the best uses of science fiction, and the unique advantage that a limited colour palette has for comics. Fair warning we spend like half of this episode griping with where the conversation on AI has gone since this book was finished, but I promise this book and this episode will make it worthwhile. Music by Sleuth. Our next episode will be on volumes 2 and 3.

For this episode on "As the Crow Flies," by Mel Gillman, Jam, Jeff, and JD are joined by Ryan Estrada. We talk about one of Ryan's favourite banned books. Is this a thoughtful story of alienation, doubt, microaggressions, and faith? Or is it, as one book banner summed it up, just “gender chaos?” We'll talk about the power of traditional media (by which I mean pencil crayons), libraries, and how not to be uncomfortable in nature. Music by Sleuth. Our next episode will be on "O Human Star" by Blue Delliquanti.

It's a new Comic Book Bears Podcast audio episode!! And we are thrilled to bring back to the show our most frequent guest, the one and only Steve Bryant!! This time around Steve sits down to talk with us about his successful Kickstarter campaign for Undead or Alive! The upcoming graphic novel that Steve wrote with art by Jason Millet and Patrick McEvoy follows a trio of supernatural investigators trying to determine what is terrorizing the swamps outside of Gerber's Crossing, Louisiana! A love letter to 1970s and 80s monster comics, Undead or Alive concerns a dozen people who have gone missing—the most famous one being Arael Moon: comic book writer, pop culture icon, and practicing magician. What mysteries lurk in this macabre parish and can the Undead or Alive Agency put an end to the disappearances? Beyond that, Steve chats with us about a whole lotta stuff, including a certain Universal Monster with ties to Undead or Alive! The CBB Boys (Steve, Caleb and Bill) then stay on the mic for their round table about new books they have read including the beginning of DC's Absolute Power crossover event, Free Agents #1 from Kurt Busiek, Fabian Nicieza, and Stephen Mooney (Image) and CBB favorite Blue Delliquanti's new graphic novella Adversary! While the Kickstarter for Steve's Undead or Alive has ended, you can still access the Kickstarter for late pledges for available rewards!

Dr. Flora Renz, co-director of the Centre for Sexuality, Race and Gender Justice at Kent Law School. Tuck Woodstock, a professional gender detective and host of the podcast Gender Reveal.

Flash Forward: An Illustrated Guide to Possible (And Not So Possible) Tomorrows takes readers on a journey from speculative fiction to speculative “fact.” Producer and host of the podcast Flash Forward, Rose Eveleth poses provocative questions about our future, which are brought to life by 12 of the most imaginative comics and graphic artists at work, including Matt Lubchanksy, Sophie Goldstein, Ben Passmore, and Box Brown. Each artist chooses a subject close to their heart—Ignatz Award nominee Julia Gfrörer, for instance, will imagine a future in which robots make art—and presents their chosen future in their own style. Drawing on her interviews with experts in various fields of study, Eveleth will then report on what is complete fantasy and what is only just out of reach in insightful essays following the comics. This book introduces compelling visions of the future and vividly explores the human consequences of developing technologies. Flash Forward reveals how complicated, messy, incredible, frightening, and strange our future might be.CONTRIBUTING ARTISTS INCLUDE: Matt Lubchansky, Sophie Goldstein, Zach Weinersmith, Box Brown, Maki Naro, John Jennings, Julia Gfrörer, Chris Jones, Blue Delliquanti, Amelia Onorato, Kate Sheridan, Sophia Foster-Dimino, Ziyed Ayoub, Ben Passmore 

The TradeWaiters are back from another (probably pandemic-related) hiatus. For this episode, Jam, Jeff, and JD read "Meal" by Blue Delliquanti with Soleil Ho. Have you ever eaten a bug? Like, on purpose? Would you like to? "Meal" is more than just a great case for entomophagy (i.e. bug eating), cuisine with deep cultural roots in many parts of the world. It's also a great story. It might even be the beginning of a new tradition of food manga made in North America. Music by Sleuth. Our next episode will be on "Through the Woods" by Emily Carroll.

We're back this episode to discuss Amy Reeder's take on Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld from DC Comics and the queer sci-fi/romance O Human Star by Blue Delliquanti. Also Braden got a new front door, Sage is excited for the Netflix adaptation of Lady Killer, and some other comics we've been loving lately include Proctor Valley Road, The Silver Coin, and Children of the Atom. 6:51 - Amethyst 30:59 - O Human Star 56:34 - Recent comics we're enjoying Music is: "at last, a piano" by Louie Zong from the album Sights. (louiezong.bandcamp.com/album/sights)

This week, or maybe six weeks ago, we read the "Slaughterhouse-Five" graphic novel adaptation by Kurt Vonnegut, Ryan North, and Albert Monteys. This may be the perfect book to read during a pandemic when time seems unstuck. But never mind the sales-pitch, because if you listen to this episode you’ve always listened to this episode. Detours include the firebombing of Dresden, what a Trafalmadorian comic looks like, and being unstuck in the history of manga. Music by Sleuth Our next episode will be on "Meal" by Blue Delliquanti and Soleil Ho.

Blue Delliquanti truly dives into their work, and the results are deliciously entertaining with beautifully crafted characters and stories. I got to speak with Blue about their work and got to ask about their bug-eating fascination that is the feature of the book Meal. Learn more about Blue at their website bluedelliquanti.com and follow them on Twitter @bluedelliquanti You can purchase Blue's books at your local bookstores or from Iron Circus Comics ironcircus.com You can follow us on Twitter @amongstthebooks_podcast and on Instagram @amongstthebookspodcast.

Robot means laborer. O Human Star, is a webcomic about a trans robot, the humans who made her and the complex world of robotics and human development they all live in. I interviewed series creator Blue Delliquanti.  Blue is the creator of the Prism Award-winning webcomic O Human Star. Blue is also the co-creator of the graphic novel Meal (with Soleil Ho) and The 'Stan (with David Axe and Kevin Knodell). We discuss artistic inspiration, transhumanism, robot politics, Rossum's Universal Robots, Mike Mignola's influence, queer stories and generation gaps and the unique joy of finding fanart of your work.    

Alicia talks to Soleil Ho, food writer, host of B***h Media’s Popaganda podcast, and co-host of the Racist Sandwich Podcast.

CBB boys Billy Z and Steve are back from New York Comic Con!  They will be joined by Bryan next week to discuss what their experiences at that massive convention were like but before then they are thrilled to bring to their conversation cave this week the mega talented Blue Delliquanti!!! Blue is the writer and artist of O HUMAN STAR, a long-form online comic that started in 2012 and for which she has launched a Kickstarter campaign to put out a second graphic novel collection. O HUMAN STAR, which has been raved about on the show previously, presents the story of Alastair Sterling, an inventor who wakes up in a lifelike robot body 16 years after his death and must come to terms with the unfamiliar, futuristic world that is the result of his work and his legacy. Along the way he reunites with his former research partner Brendan and comes face to face with another robot whose mind is a copy of Sterling’s – and is living as a teenage girl and as Brendan's daughter - and we then follow the these three coming together as an unconventional family in a not-too-distant future. Blue also lets us in on MEAL, another upcoming project of hers! Love, robots, insect cuisine and Sailor Moon reconsiderations - they are all here in this great conversation!!

While there, the Two Guys interviewed a variety of creators about their recent releases and their upcoming projects. In all, Derek and Andy were able to conduct 27 different interviews, each of which lasted from anywhere between 2 minutes to over 20 minutes. The guys have now edited these conversations and are presenting them in a series of three on-location interview episodes conducted at SPX. In this first installment, Derek and Andy talk with John Martz, Jay Hosler, Blue Delliquanti, Ulises Fariñas, Storm Smith, Ted Stearn, Emma Glaze, Daryl Seitchik, and Sean O'Neill.

For April, Sean and Derek look at three very different webcomics, each a standout in its own way. They begin with Der-shing Helmer's The Meek, the fantastical story of Angora, a young innocent -- even feral -- girl sent on a quest that could save her world. But Angora's isn't the only narrative thread making up this webcomic. We're also introduce to Luca deSadar and his family, rulers of the Northern Territories, and to Soli Areni, a mercenary with a secret to hide and whose jobs aren't always on the lawful side. In the first five chapters of this webcomic, Helmer subtly weaves these storylines together in a way that should become more pronounced as the narrative develops. Next, the guys check out O Human Star, a science fiction tale that's more about relationships and the way we choose to identify ourselves. Blue Delliquanti, its creator, deftly teases out her cast so that they're fully developed individuals whose lives, and dilemmas, become the scaffolding upon which everything rests. The world of O Human Star is a futuristic one, where robotics and artificial intelligence integrate almost seamlessly into human exchanges. And the boundaries between identities is not only limited to that between human and robot. Finally, Derek and Sean consider Stuart Campbell's These Memories Won't Last, a webcomic unlike anything else they've ever discussed. With the help of Lhasa Mencur (on sound design) and programmer Vitaliy Shirokiy, Campbell tells the story of his grandfather as he develops dementia. Whereas both The Meek and O Human Star contained layers of meaning, The Memories Won't Last is primarily defined by its visual layering. As the guys point out, Campbell and company layer the narration of the experience on top of the grandfather's actual story, and then these are overlaid with a ill-defined cloud that can obscure the visuals, much as the grandfather's growing dementia eats away at his memories. This is a short and poignant webcomic, and one that is nominated for a 2016 Webby Award in the NetArt category. And it's something you have to experience yourself to get the full effect.
