Podcast appearances and mentions of rich burlew

Ten minutes with... is a special series presented by Coode Street that sees readers and booklovers from around the world talk about what they're reading right now and what's getting them through these difficult times. This time out, Gary talks with fellow Locus reviewer Karen Burnham, author of Greg Egan in the Modern Masters of Science Fiction series, and occasional pieces for The Cascadia Subduction Zone. We touch upon having kids at home during the lockdown, finding time to do our own reading in between reading for reviews, and favorite literary comfort foods such as Terry Pratchett and Gail Carriger. Books mentioned include: Greg Egan by Karen Burnham The Revenger Series by Alastair Reynolds Horizon by Barry Lopez Arctic Dreams by Barry Lopez The Lives of a Cell and the Medusa and the Snail by Lewis Thomas Small Gods by Terry Pratchett The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett Soulless by Gail Carriger The Order of the Stick by Rich Burlew

There wasn't time to record a new episode this fortnight so here's an episode from a short lived comics podcast about Rich Burlew's epic fantasy webcomic The Order of the Stick.

Somewhere in time: The mind behind the JSA goes MIA, Logan and Arnold are back in our hearts, and the soul of the Marvel Universe is back, but is it too late already? Plus: We explain how Urban Legends get started, we learn how bad puns get started, and we learn how short deadlines cause the podcast open to not make sense. NEWS Wolverine Trailer Linkage Terminator Salvation Trailer Linkage Geoff Johns Leaves JSA Linkage The mysterious connection behind Buckaroo Banzai and Big Trouble in Little China is Revealed! REVIEWS Rodrigo Witchblade #122 (W) Ron Marz (A) Stjepan Sejic (Cov) Stjepan Sejic Gritty police drama meets supernatural thriller as mysterious deaths lead Sara Pezzini and her detective partner, Patrick Gleason, to the heart of Brooklyn’s Orthodox Jewish community, a closed and cloistered society that does not tolerate outsiders. Something ancient and evil is stalking the community, something that even the Witchblade might not be able to stop. Matthew Marvels Eye of the Camera #1 COVER BY: JAY ANACLETO WRITER: KURT BUSIEK PENCILS: JAY ANACLETO COLORED BY: BRIAN HABERLIN LETTERED BY: COMICRAFT The long-awaited sequel to the award-winning publishing sensation that made Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross into stars begins here! News photographer Phil Sheldon's back, with the man-on-the-street's perspective on the big events of the Marvel Universe, from the Avengers, the all-new X-Men and the Secret Wars to Dracula and the Werewolf By Night. But this time, Phil's world is going to be rocked not just by superheroes and super-villains -- but by something far more personal, as well. Stephen Batman Confidential #27 Written by Andrew Kreisberg; Art by Scott McDaniel and Andy Owens ; Cover by Stephane Roux "Rights" part 3 of 4! In an attempt to gain insight into this new kind of criminal The Joker represents in Gotham, Batman goes undercover to share the lunatic's cell in the Gotham City Police Department's holding pen! And a rogue officer hunts down Commissioner Gordon! MAJOR SPOILERS POLL OF THE WEEK In the comic world, the Earth is always being attacked from forces from outer space. Two of the big heavies are the Skrull (Marvel) and the Dominators (DC). Both have unsuccessfully attempted take overs, but if it weren’t for a well placed Deus Ex Machina, which alien race would be our new overlords? A) Dominators B) Skrulls VOTE MAJOR SPOILERS DISCUSSION Order of the Stick (from the Wiki) The Order of the Stick (OOTS) is a comedic webcomic that satirizes tabletop roleplaying games and medieval fantasy through the ongoing tale of the titular fellowship of heroes. The comic is written and illustrated by Rich Burlew, who creates the comic in a colorful stick figure style.
