Superstar Artist Nick Dragotta joins Dave to discuss the breakout success of DC's Absolute Batman. Dragotta shares the project's Frank Miller-meets-manga blend of influences, his "yes and" collaboration with Scott Snyder, and the bold visual decisions that shaped the book's identity. The two discuss the cartoonists setting the gold standard for visual storytelling , Alex Toth, Japanese comics culture, Kentaro Miura, and why now is the only point in his career Dragotta could have made this book.directeditionpodcast.comhttps://www.patreon.com/DavengersDirectEdition
His name is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearer of a gigantic sword, an iron hand, and the scars of countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with The Brand, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him and dooms him as their sacrifice. But Guts won't take his fate lying down; he'll cut a crimson swath of carnage through the ranks of the damned -- and anyone else foolish enough to oppose him! Accompanied by Puck the Elf, more an annoyance than a companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark, bloodstained path that leads only to death...or vengeance. Created by Kenturo Miura, Berserk is manga mayhem to the extreme -- violent, horrifying, and mercilessly funny -- and the wellspring for the internationally popular anime series. Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, Berserk asks for no quarter -- and offers none!Berserk 3:55The Pull-List 34:35Linktr.ee/tradewaitersFollow Us!

Duranki is book with two tales to tell... On one hand, it's the story of an androgynous child named Usumgal, born of the gods, but who is neither god nor human, neither male nor female. On the other, it's an experiment by Kentaro Miura to see if his manga studio, Studio Gaga, would be able to produce a work that could reach the high bar set by his masterpiece, Berserk. Unfortunately, with Miura's untimely passing in 2021, neither of these stories will see an ending. Like the ancient myths on which Duranki is based, we're only left with a fragment of those stories...And just like scholars do with those tales of old, Mat and Tom will speculate widely on what IS there!Join us as we dig into Duranki: exploring the stories' 6 chapters, contrast it development concept also included in the volume on which it was based, before finally asking the question: should a creator's work continue after they're gone? And perhaps more fitting for a podcast that mainly recommends manga, is Duranki a good starting point for the Berserk-curious reader?---Show Notes---Berserk by Kentaro MiuraGiganto Maxia by Kentaro MiruaDragon Ball Super by Akira Toriyama and Toyotarou---Production Interview on Duranki with Mirua (in Japanese)---Thanks to Juliano Zucareli for our theme music!Find us on:X: Manga Tak PodBluesky: Manga Tak PodInstagram: Manga Tak Pod

The ACP set themselves a reading challenge earlier this year. Trying books, series and moments in comic book time that they had not experienced before. For this fun exercise they roped in Tom Curry and Eamonn Clarke (Mega City Book Club) to do the same, and the result is a whole ton of amazing comic talk. From manga classics and epic comic movements to series since adapted for tv and classic graphic novels from critically acclaimed creators, this one has it all.

On apprenait peu de temps après que Koji Mori, ami d'enfance de Kentaro Miura, allait terminer la saga.
Kentaro Miura's Berserk can be upsetting, fascinating, offputting, incredible, and even sometimes a bit comedic, as Tim and Kumar have found over the past several months. All those qualities appear again in volumes 11 and 12, as the story of the extended flashback reaches its climax with Griffith's horrific accession to the God Hand. Join … Continue reading #804 “Berserk” v. 11 & 12: Cartoonish violence, epic horror
Who has two thumbs (one regular, one prosthetic) and loves shooting demons in the face with crossbow bolts? Why our one eyed one armed sword swinging black demon slayer Guts in the 1997 on the Kentaro Miura classic Berserk! Why does the first demon have a face like a Georgia O'Keefe Painting? Could you make an omelette out of a Behelit? Can Guts' sword actually cut anything? We try to find out all this and more as we get into a bath bucket fight with Griffith.

Kentaro Miura's Berserk can be confounding. Reading volumes 9 and 10 prompts us to ask “Just what genre IS this comic, anyway?” While it still has plenty of over-the-top action and violence, it also has gratuitous sex, comedy, and even some horror elements. And now we finally have hints toward why the “present” of volumes … Continue reading #799 “Berserk” v. 9 & 10 deep dive: Genre hopping
