The time between the first comic being published and the first fan discussion of comics can probably be counted in seconds. From their debut in the early days of the last century, these slabs of words and pictures have stayed in lockstep with other pop culture phenomena in generating a fandom so strong that it not only lasts to this day but literally changed the world we live in. Comics fandom was launched from small fanzines distributed by hand amongst locals or by mail to anywhere else, and it was decades worth of those pamphlets that helped build both the fanbase AND the creator pool necessary to help comics eventually breakout of their publishing ghetto. From The Comics Reader to Alter Ego to Squa Tront to The Comics Journal and all points in-between, the fanzines of yesterday built the fandom of today. But what about today's fanzines? That question prompted Mike & Greg to devote today's episode to not only delving into some fanzine backstory, but also check out some of the 21st century crop of fanzines: Bubbles, Strangers, and But Is It Comic Aht?. And though it may have outlasted its fanzine origins, one can't look at the state of comics discussion and criticism in modern times without checking out the Fantagraphics juggernaut of TCJ. So sit back, relax, and listen to the lads wax poetic about other comics fans waxing poetic about their favorite comics in any way they could!

Trying to decide the first graphic novel ever is nigh impossible, but thankfully, trying to figure out the first comic book made on a computer is much easier: Mike Saenz’s Shatter! Well, sort of . . . Mike & Greg take a trip to the primordial past of digital comics to check out three early examples of comics created on the keyboard rather than artboard: 1985’s Shatter 1988’s Iron Man: Crash (Saenz’s followup comic) 1990’s Batman: Digital Justice by Pepe Moreno & Doug Murray What went right?

Graphic novels may be all the rage, but the art of turning prose into comix is one many publishers are finding just slightly easier than turning lead into gold. From the early days of Classics Illustrated right up until today, Mike & Greg take a look at five novel-to-comics adaptations to get a better understanding of what works and what doesn't when it comes to adding pictures to all those words: A People's History of American Empire by Howard Zinn (adapted by Mike Konopacki and Paul Buhle) Do Android's Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K.

This episode was originally broadcast on September 10, 2015. Black Ops Sports Team. That was the pitch for X-Force as part of the spring 2001 relaunch of the X-Men line, stuck somewhere next to the trinity of Morrison's New, Casey's Uncanny, and Claremont's X-Treme titles. A Vertigo mainstay and an indie cartoonist doing an X-Book? How crazy was that? But X-Force turned out to be the little book that could, grabbing critical praise and the attention of comic fans old and new with its bold combination of satire, commentary, and characterization. Mike & Greg look back at the first 14 issues of the Allred/Milligan collaboration and see how it holds up almost 15 years later. How reader-friendly was the title BEFORE the revamp? What part did that first issue play in getting Marvel to finally drop the Comics Code for good? Which recurring Allred archetypes show up in "X-Force" and why? When does the series go off the rail (and why)? Who comes in to pinch-hit for Allred on art, and do they strike out or hit a home run? All that, plus a head-to-head matchup between X-Force and Morrison's New X-Men over the hosts' affections. Which book will reign supreme? Find out the answer to that question and more on this episode! Robots From Tomorrow is a weekly comics podcast recorded deep beneath the Earth’s surface.

Titan is not only the largest of Saturn's moons; more importantly for this show, it is the setting of TWO of the Mike & Greg's favorite comic stories. The first is the Judge Dredd epic "Titan" by Rob Williams and Henry Flint, while the other is written and drawn by today's guest. The lads talked about the Oni graphic novel TITAN on this week's Pull List episode, so they are delighted Greg got a chance to talk with cartoonist François Vigneault about his work and how love & labor relations on a faraway moon can really speak to what we have here on Earth.

This episode was originally broadcast on March 5, 2015. Thirty-eight years of continuous weekly publication has given Judge Dredd fans a huge back catalog of stories to choose from. Mike & Greg flex some Multiver-City One muscles in this episode and take an in-depth look at Judge Dredd: America, the shattering tale by Dredd co-creator John Wagner and artist Colin MacNeil that makes absolutely clear what separates Dredd from other comics action heroes. What makes it Wagner's personal favorite and the top of so many "Best of Dredd" lists? How accessible is it to new readers? Are the sequels (1996's 'Fading of the Light' and 2006's 'Cadet') any good? Why isn't Colin MacNeil a bigger name? Who was Victor Jara? What does an apology from Judge Dredd sound like, and what do you have to do to get one? All that and tons more in this week's episode!

This episode was originally broadcast on May 14, 2015. When you think about cartoonist journalists, the first (and probably only) name that comes to mind is almost always Joe Sacco. And for good reason, because the man has been using his cartoonist skills in the service of in-depth reporting for over 20 years. This week, Mike & Greg take a look at Journalism” a collection of his shorter reports over a 10-year period from such assignments as Iraq, The Hague, Gaza, India, Malta, and the Caucasus. It’s a 200-page hardcover that provokes more thought and questions in that page count than most OGNs at twice the size. The lads try and come at them from a few different angles, ranging from Sacco’s cartooning chops, how objective a reporter like Sacco can (or should) be, what advantages cartooning has over more naturalistic means of capturing information, why color should or shouldn’t be used in Sacco’s work, who influenced him, and much much more on this week’s episode Robots From Tomorrow is a weekly comics podcast recorded deep beneath the Earth’s surface.

This episode was originally broadcast on April 29, 2015. “The death-stench creeps.” “There’s something rotten in Okinawa.” These cover blurbs from today’s book discussion subject should tell you that we’re not talking sweetness and light this week. Mike & Greg go fishing with horror master Junji Ito and the brand-new hardcover collection of his 2001-2002 horror story Gyo How terrifying can a horror story about fish be if 99% of it takes place on land? Ito’s got that covered. Serving up a tale equal parts dread and nihilism, Ito knows what buttons to push in his readers to be effective as a horror master, and he jams them hard here. Find out who Ito took cues from and used as a benchmark to surpass in his story, what the difference is between shonen and seinen manga, how similar Gyo's adaptation into other media is to Watchmen's translation, why a circus can be scarier than a great white shark, which things make the human mind flash ‘DOES NOT COMPUTE’, and much more in this week’s episode!

So for this four hundred twenty-third installment of the Pull List series, the lads chose: 1) A previous year’s Pull List choice.2) Something else pulled from their own collections. There may not be new comics to choose from this week, but hopefully these new Pull List episodes give just as much food for thought in choosing what goes into your quarantine reading queue.
