Alternate Reality – Episode 361

Alternate Reality – Episode #361

It seems that once again Chris Partin has abandoned the Alternate Reality crew. He’s highly unreliable that way. Apparently Chris’s real world problems have caught up with him and he’s got to go rescue his family from a flood or something or other. So Jon and Charlie, never ones to let the grass grow under their feet, comb through the co-host application stack that they’ve secretly been compiling without Partin’s knowledge for just such an occasion. What do they find? Why it’s Darren Steeves from the Definitive Geek podcast. Darren is a longtime friend of the show and he was more than happy to fill in for the absent Chris Partin. Problem: Darren hasn’t read any comics in 6 months!!! OH-NO! What’s Jon and Charlie to do??? Will this be the reunification of Darren and comics? Will the new dynamic work? Will the guys be forced to beg Partin back? Will this be a really boring episode? Stay tuned to find out.

Enjoy!!!

Jimmy — Fri, 17 May 2013 08:20:13 +0000

Comic News Insider: Episode 473 is now available for free download! Click on the link or get it through iTunes! Sponsored by Dynamic Forces.

It’s a special DINTERVIEW episode! That’s Dinner + Interview = DINTERVIEW! Thanks to Becky Cloonan for that. You guessed it, it’s another podcast dinner where Jimmy sits down with some cartoonists over dinner to talk comics. While in Toronto for TCAF, Jimmy was joined by Paul Pope, Becky Cloonan, Glyn Dillon, and Monica Gallagher. They discussed the ins and outs of comics. From what they use to draw, the process of cartooning, their approach to the medium, digital vs. print, inspirations, influences and so much more! They even all got a bit silly at times and there may even be some singing and about 5 attempts to end the podcast. It’s a bit lengthy as they were having such a grand time. Jimmy turned on the recorder and let it go for 2 hours! Not only do you hear the cartoonists, you’ll hear the background noise, the waiter taking our orders, our food arriving, clinking of our silverware, etc. So sit back and be a fly on the wall for an exciting, informative and fun 2 hours of comic goodness with some of the best in the business! Leave your iTunes comments! 5 stars and nothing but love!

Sequential Underground #66

AudioShocker — Wed, 15 May 2013 17:13:21 +0000

The podcast by indie comics creators for indie comics creators!

Listen to Sequential Underground #66 right now:

Scott Hedlund joins Nick Marino to talk about comic book conventions, self-published comics, and prints. Spinning out of Comic Book Pitt #126, Scott and Nick discuss the struggle of selling indie comics at comicons.

Even though they began as comic book events, most large conventions are now expensive pop culture showcases for movies, TV, and established properties. While self-published comics featuring original characters tend to be overlooked, questionably legal prints of licensed characters sell like crazy.

On the flip side, there are lots of local expos and fairs that favor crafts, zines, and artistic aesthetic over narrative comics. Which leaves us wondering… where do comic book storytellers fit in nowadays?

ALSO: Shoutout to Rob Harrington of Ginger Rabbit Studio for sharing his thoughts about prints and comics with Nick at last weekend’s Long Beach Comic Expo.

PLUS: Why has Tom Scioli quit comics? And is he really done for good?
