We started Winters Heart by Robert Jordan, and covered the first half of the plot. Hannah enjoyed this book, while Laura.....does not enjoy what she's read so far.  Laura did enjoy some of the graphic novels she's read recently, especially Nimona.  Hannah brings up  some issues with romance novels and Laura weighs in based on personal experiences.  Hannah also gives us her opinion on a recent read that stirred up some controversy on bookstagram.Media Mentions-The Wheel of Time series by Robert JordanNimona by Noelle StevensonLumberjanes Vol. 1 by Noelle Stevenson, Grace Ellis, Brooklyn AllenMuppets Haunted Mansion---Disney+Monstress by Marjorie Liu and Sana TakedaVei by Sara B.

Prepare your magic, your dragons and your plucky shapeshifting henchwomen because we are talking about Nimona! This delightful MFA thesis project began life as a fun, episodic webtoon (see previous episode Orange Marmalade) before eventually becoming a sprawling action adventure about trauma and tragedy. But it's super fun, we swear!Also fun: Stevenson's evolving artistic style and the text's "no big deal" inclusion of queer and disabled characters, which sadly got lost in a lot of critical reviews at the time (Brenna has thoughts!)Wanna connect with the show?

En el episodio de esta semana, conversamos acerca del boom de la representación LGBTTTIQAP+ en los últimos años y cómo ha impactado en nuestra cultura, percepción y sensibilidad. ¿Por qué tomó tanta importancia la representación LGBT? ¿Cuáles fueron las primeras caricaturas que rompieron el molde? ¿Qué cambió? ¿Cómo influyeron personas como Noelle Stevenson y Rebecca Sugar? Para responder estas preguntas, nos acompaña Becky Salas; heroína cinéfila de día, cazatiburones de noche. Una gran nerd que se aburrió de escribirle discursos a políticos corruptos y ahora se dedica a hablar de cine, series y cultura pop. En las recomendaciones de la semana hablamos del libro Me llamó Rojo de Orhan Pamuk, Megadeth by Design, I still have faith in you de Abba, Frank y Ollie y el restaurante con el mejor aderezo del mundo. Y en la sección del ilustrador de la semana, te presentamos @themountainwithteeth

Jacinta and Raphael have arrived at the quirkiest of letters, and they can't quite believe how quickly they've quoted the alphabet so far. But our ‘Quota of Quickening pulses' would be quintessentially questionable without qualifying it with a quantity of fabulous Queerness. Q is for Queer and we have not one but TWO quirky guests to question the quagmire of queerdom, bringing their own quixotic quips and queenly quibbles to the quadrat to be queried: drag adjacent artist and performance maker, Felix Le Freak and writer, Georgia Iacovou. Covering umbrella terms (pun intended) to schoolyard mockery, we chat about our own positions on gender, sexuality and romance. Are we quorate?

[Content Warning: Discussions of Religious Trauma] So! S5E3 Corridors, huh? It's quite the heavy episode. We go through it with Catra and Glimmer aboard the Velvet Glove, the Best Friend Squad experiences the last 15 minutes of hit Matt Damon comedy The Martian, and our girl finally makes one single good decision in her whole life. We really get into it with Horde Prime and his character background, and discuss the connections to Noelle Stevenson's illustrated memoir, The Fire Never Goes Out. Listen as we try not to cry while talking about it! It's a real hoot!

Join Jonathan, Dave, Jessica, and Declan as they discuss the amazing Nimona by Noelle Stevenson.

Debuting as a webcomic in 2012, Nimona became an Eisner Award-winning sensation after its publication as a graphic novel in 2015. Noelle Stevenson's tale of a playful shapeshifter who turns out to be something more was even on its way to an animated adaptation until the closing of Blue Sky Studios last month left that project's future in doubt. We may not ever get to see that feature film, but we can get answers to these burning questions: Can Nimona overcome her dark side and her deep desire for revenge? Can villain Ballister Blackheart reconcile with his former friend and partner, Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin? And can this charming and moving book join the ranks of that Institute of First-Class Fantasy Epics known as ... The Comics Canon?

Combining corporate intrigue, James Bond-style espionage and more than a hint of social relevance, it's perhaps the defining Iron Man storyline—and arguably informs Robert Downey Jr.'s mega-popular portrayal of the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In this episode, we strap on the jet skates to discuss Demon in a Bottle—specifically, The Invincible Iron Man issues #123-128, by David Michelinie, John Romita Jr. and Bob Layton, published by Marvel Comics! As the pressures of being a billionaire industrialist superhero begin to mount, Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) increasingly turns to alcohol. When unscrupulous competitor Justin Hammer takes control of Stark's armor, causing the death of a foreign diplomat, even his best friend James Rhodes and professional bodyguard Bethany Cabe may not be able to pull him out of his downward spiral.

This week, host Isaac Butler talks to cartoonist and now showrunner Noelle Stevenson about the process of rebooting the ‘80s TV show She-Ra: Princess of Power. In the interview, Noelle talks about developing a fresh vision for the show and ultimately creating one of the most diverse kids shows in history. She also discusses her webcomic, Nimona, which was adapted into a graphic novel and earned her a National Book Award nomination at the age of 23.  After the interview, Isaac and co-host June Thomas offer advice to a listener who wonders if focusing on their art, rather than working with vulnerable people, is too privileged a life choice.   In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Noelle talks about The Weight of Them, a webcomic she created about her decision to get top surgery.  Send your questions about creativity and any other feedback to working@slate.com or give us a call at (304) 933-9675.

This week on Total Movie Recall, it's Steve's turn to not get it when Ryan forces him to snooze this way through the 1997 hambone, The Devil's Advocate. This movie has it all -- a grand guignol of sex, violence, operatic depictions of Hell and Satan, Keanu swinging and missing, Pacino putting his blood pressure medication to the test -- and yet, somehow, it's still boring! Please don't waste Steve's time with these faux-provocations. Show him something really controversial, like a basketball game. The Devil's Advocate (1997) d. Taylor Hackford Based on the novel by Andrew Neiderman Starring: Keanu Reeves Al Pacino Charlize Theron Jeffrey Jones Judith Ivey Connie Nielsen Craig T. Nelson Don King Aspiring Florida defense lawyer Kevin Lomax accepts a high-powered position at a New York law firm headed by legal shark John Milton. As Kevin moves up in the firm's ranks, his wife, Mary Ann, has several frightening, mystical experiences that begin to warp her sense of reality. With the stakes getting higher with each case, Kevin quickly learns that his mentor is planning a far greater evil than simply winning without scruples.

Michael and Kurtis are back with Michael's Pull for the month: Lumberjanes, by Shannon Watters, Grace Ellis and Noelle Stevenson. A listen for a special announcement at the end of the episode!

This week on the podcast, Derek and Andy W. discuss three new and very different titles. They begin with a narrative based in reality, Mike's Place: A True Story of Love, Blues, and Terror in Tel Aviv, written by Jack Baxter and Joshua Faudem, with art by Koren Shadmi (First Second). This is the story of an American who travels to Israel to make a documentary, teams up with an Israeli film student, and then learns firsthand both the promises and the dangers of the conflicted culture. Mike's Place is beachfront bar in Tel Aviv where politics and religion are checked at the front door. It's sacred text is written with music, drink, and multicultural camaraderie. But the filmmakers soon learn that safe havens, political and personal, can be a tenuous proposition. Andy and Derek highlight the authors' evenhanded approach to their politically charged subject matter as well as their ability to make Mike's Place a story of community, not a single-minded treatise. And after all of that reality, the Two Guys head in the opposite direction with fantasy. Noelle Stevenson's Nimona (HarperCollins) is a story with supervillains, shapeshifters, and lots of cool scheming. This was a highly popular webcomic -- in fact, it's nominated in that category for this year's Eisner Awards -- that is now high-production trade paperback. Overall, both of the guys like the book, however, both of them also have problems with Stevenson's narrative. Andy feels that the author changes the rules of her storytelling as the book progresses, giving it an uneven feel. And Derek has problems with the pacing and overall story coherency. There are some scenes that are much too decompressed, and at times the dialogue is bloated and meandering. In many ways, the guys see Nimona as illustrative example of how popular webcomics may not successfully translate into other narrative platforms. Stevenson's style might have resonated with devoted web readers, eagerly awaiting each digital installment, but that kind of storytelling isn't always as effective (or as convincing) when presented as a singular text. Standing in stark contrast is the final title that Derek and Andy discuss, Optic Nerve #14, by Adrian Tomine. As he reveals in the issue's final self-depricating one-pager, Tomine has tried to resist the instantaneous, immediately gratifying world of digital publication and social media. This latest issue of his signature series, published by Drawn and Quarterly since 1995, is divided into two main stories. "Killing and Dying" is a family drama surrounding a teenager's desire to become a standup comedian, and "Intruders," dedicated to Yoshihiro Tatsumi, is an unsettling story about a soldier between tours of duty trying to reacquaint himself with his former life. Each is a brilliant example of Tomine's skills as a storyteller, his abilities to take common, everyday premises and invest in them profound themes. Issue #14 is reminiscent of the previous two issues of Optic Nerve -- structured similarly, presented similarly, and packaged similarly -- and all three will soon be collected together in Killing and Dying. Much like the guys felt about Seth and Palookaville last month, both Derek and Andy see Adrian Tomine as one of the most important comics artists working today, and his art is a careful, measured testament to medium's potential.

On this episode of the podcast, Andy and Derek review three new titles, each of which is a brief glimpse into a facet of our diverse comics culture. They begin by looking at the new book from Darryl Cunningham, The Age of Selfishness: Ayn Rand, Morality, and the Financial Crisis (Abrams ComicArs). This work is an extended essay focusing on the life and philosophy of Rand, the contribution of her ideas to the 2008 financial crisis, and a general discussion on growing libertarian selfishness of Western culture. In fact, the book is divided into three parts, each of which is devoted to one of these three components. The guys discuss Cunningham's structural approach when presenting his arguments. Andy feels that the three parts work fairly well together, although Derek isn't as convinced that the book as a whole has the appropriate balance. For examples, the references to Rand's philosophy in the second part of the book, "The Crash," are sporadic and could have been more deeply ingrained. As a result, the transition from the first part of the text, a broad biography of Ayn Rand, to the discussion on the 2008 crash that follows seems to separate two different projects. Still, Cunningham is able to weave his points together through references to Rand's disciples, the most prominent of which is Alan Greenspan. The Age of Selfishness is definitely an editorializing work with a left-leaning bent -- which is OK with the guys -- although at times the author tries almost too hard to be evenhanded. Next, Derek and Andy talk about a comic that they've been meaning to discuss for some time, Lumberjanes (BOOM! Box). In their first collected trade, Noelle Stevenson, Grace Ellis, and Brooke Allen introduce the adventuresome girl team by plunging readers directly into the thick of things, involving yetis, animated statues, werescouts, a mysterious bearwoman, and the subtitular "kitten holy." This initial volume collects the first four issues of the series, which began about a year ago. The guys wonder why it took so long to put out the first trade, and why this collection comprises only the first four comic books. Derek believes that issues #5, and perhaps even #6, could have been included in the first trade with it still retaining a coherent narrative. But the thing about Lumberjanes is that the storyline is tightly woven, to where it's difficult to determine where one arc ends and another begins. That's to the creators' benefit, as it suggests that they have a solid story to tell and that they're not merely writing with the typical trade cycle in mind. Finally, the Two Guys discuss the inaugural issue of the new series from Matt Kindt and Scott Kolins, Past Aways (Dark Horse). This is a time-travel  narrative, although one with a different twist. Five explorers from our future are trapped in the early twenty-first century, and after a year of being stranded, they drift apart with each going his or her separate way. The opening event in this first issue is what draws everyone back to a common purpose, so in many ways Past Aways has a superhero-ish "getting the team back together" kind of feel. The prelude to this new series actually appeared a couple of months ago in Dark Horse Presents #6 -- and the guys briefly discuss that story -- but readers do not have to have read that introduction to get into this first issue. Kindt is one of Andy and Derek's favorite creators, and they love Kolins's mainstream work in titles such as The Flash. So this new series will be a no-brainer for the guys. They're on board for the long haul!
