Digging deep into “Southern Bastards” with DC3Cast and Multiversity Editor Brian Salvatore; Best of 2017 with Multiversity’s Kevin Gregory. Images are at http://wp.me/p42KN3-HvT starting Tuesday 6 AM EST Welcome to the Comics Syllabus podcast, where we read widely and we dig deep. Your host Paul, a literacy researcher and English teacher, introduces curious readers to a range of current and classic comics, and then engages in closer discussion and analysis of particular comics works. On our Multiversity’s Best of 2017 chat ( at 5:00 ), we talk with Multiversity’s Kevin Gregory ( http://www.multiversitycomics.com/author/kgregory/ ), host of the new “Make Mine Multiversity” podcast ( http://www.multiversitycomics.com/tag/make-mine-multiversity/ ) covering Marvel Comics. But today, Kevin’s here to discuss his Best of 2017, in a series of chats the Comics Syllabus is having with Multiversity contributors about their picks for the best comics of the year in various categories. (Pardon some minor sound hiccups in the recording!) Kevin’s picks: Best Mini-Series: The Unstoppable Wasp by Whitley, Charretier, et al (Marvel) Best New Series: Super Sons by Tomasi, Jimenez, et al (DC) Best Single Issue: Deathstroke #11 (DC) by Priest, Cowan, et al ; Royal City #5 (Image) by Lemire; Black Monday Murders #5 (Image) by Hickman, Coker, et al Breakout Writer: Joshua Williamson Best Publisher: Valiant Comics Our deep dive this week (at 46:01 ) is “Southern Bastards” by Jason Aaron and Jason Latour, volumes 1 (“Here Was a Man”) and 2 (“Gridiron”), collected in the first hardcover, published by Image Comics. We’re excited to be joined by DC3Cast-member, Lead Editor, and dear friend Brian Salvatore to dig deep into this harrowing, poetic, and darkly tragic/comic tale of the South and football. Warning: the discussion calls for us to talk in mildly salty ways, at least saltier than Paul customarily does in front of children. But then again, this is “Southern Bastards.” Images to go with our talk are at the bottom of this page. We make reference to episodes of the podcasts the Hour Cosmic with the Jasons at http://www.multiversitycomics.com/podcasts/special-announcement-the-hour-cosmic-live-at-emerald-city-comicon/ and Chris Thompson’s Pop Culture Hound with them commentating “Southern Bastards” at http://www.multiversitycomics.com/podcasts/orbital-in-conversation-aaron-and-latour-on-southern-bastards/ so check those out. Finally, (at 2:21:12 ), we wrap with a quick “Discussion Section,” with a few notes from listeners and a few podcast and comics shout-outs.

After a brief hiatus, “Hoopleheads” is back! “The Trial of Jack McCall” is a heavy episode. It directly handles the consequences of the shocking events in “Here Was a Man” as it splits attention between four primary storylines. First, the trial itself: Jack McCall (Garret Dillahunt) has been caught and held prisoner as the camp decides his fate. Al […] The post Hoopleheads: Episode 5 “The Trial of Jack McCall” appeared first on Movie Fail.
Keeping quiet about the events of “Here Was a Man” was an exercise in restraint for me. For weeks, Josh and I have discussed Wild Bill Hickok (Keith Carradine). We’ve explored his relationship with Charlie (Dayton Callie) and Jane (Robin Weigert) and wondered at whatever drove him to come to Deadwood. And now, with one capricious […] The post Hoopleheads: Episode 4 “Here Was A Man” appeared first on Movie Fail.

This week Under the Comic Covers introduces two new titles... and although we don't bring you current with either, we go over the first volumes of both Jason Aaron and Jason Latour's Southern Bastards: Here Was a Man and Keiron Gillen and Jaime McKelvie's The Wicked + The Divine: The Faust Act. If you have not read either of these titles, run... don't walk... but seriously, run to whatever outlet you choose, but read these books. You will not be disappointed. We don't have any listener mail to respond to this week... we are assuming you were shocked to hear we were covering two different books and simply didn't have the opportunity to catch up on two volumes with such short notice, but we respond to a couple of Facebook responses for The Wicked + The Divine and talk about a new Image Comics #1 in Top of the Stack. This week we discuss Reyn, the new fantasy adventure comic by Kel Symons and Nate Stockman... if you like monster killing action and farmers' daughters with large breasts, then you won't want to miss this book.
