July 12 we mark 10 years since #USMarine and comics artist Ana Moreno passed away, far too soon. In this episode from about one year earlier, I talk with her about her comic Marine Corps Yumi, as well as Hollow Fields creator Madeleine Rosca: https://t.co/6Ea4Q91yCD #manga

Have to wonder how many people disagreeing with my "flawed" take have actually listened to the show...

DECONSTRUCTING COMICS: This week, a look back at 2x JILLIAN TAMAKI has been on our show. The 2009 talk is still relevant, exploring art vs storytelling and illustration vs #comics art. Also, a short talk I had with her at a show in 2015. https://t.co/AatvK067oG

DECONSTRUCTING #COMICS: Our series on #FantasticFour movies continues with "Rise of the #SilverSurfer" from 2007! https://t.co/yynSUfHVHI #marvel

FULL MANGA ALCHEMISTS: Can Shinichi fight off an attacking parasyte, and protect his classmates? We discuss #PARASYTE chapter 7, and continue comparing two different English translations of the series. https://t.co/bt1JAgcqYf #manga

THE GALACTUS TRILOGY is an oft-praised, oft-adopted, highly influential story, in FANTASTIC FOUR 48-50 (1966). And yet, it could be seen as flawed. Tim, Kumar, and Jordan discuss: https://t.co/vNb42s7o0C #JackKirby #StanLee

DECONSTRUCTING COMICS: The story of "The Swine" in "Captain America & the Falcon" 206-208 shows signs of editorial interference. How did a prison thriller turn into a monster tale? https://t.co/3mUZm6A0D5 #jackkirby

FULL #MANGA ALCHEMISTS: Shinichi’s teacher is a #parasyte! Are he and his classmates in danger? Tim & Patrick discuss chapter6, and compare the 1998 Mixx/Tokyo Pop translation to the 2007 Del Ray translation. How do they differ? https://t.co/Th1WBYfp35

DECONSTRUCTING #COMICS: #Seth's "Clyde Fans" is about work on both a micro and macro scale, as well as about growing older. Kumar and Dana review. https://t.co/ymilJH4NFf @dandq

DECONSTRUCTING #COMICS: Briana Loewinsohn's "Raised by Ghosts" is a memoir, a time capsule of being a late 20th century teen, & speaks to teens and former teens alike. An interview with her this week, and a review of the book. https://t.co/pHmjuTlSOJ @brianabreaks @fantagraphics

FULL #MANGA ALCHEMISTS: As we cover chapter 5 of Hitoshi Iwaaki's #PARASYTE, we compare Del Ray's translation to the '90s version published by Mixx (later Tokyo Pop), noting how much more Mixx tried to shelter Western readers from cultural differences. https://t.co/S6LRVxbqFI

DECONSTRUCTING COMICS: #JackKirby's "Cap and Falcon" vs a bodybuilding corpse! Not the greatest Captain America story, but it features a very T-shirt-worthy panel! https://t.co/jUIYS8Xila

DECONSTRUCTING COMICS: Cap and Falcon meet the Night People in #201-203 of their eponymous book, by Jack Kirby! Tim and Emmet discuss. #Marvel #CaptainAmerica #JackKirby https://t.co/4qEXFrl3fU

PARASYTE ch 4: A lion preys on humans, then recoils in fear of a parasyte, while Shinichi apparently brings similar fear to a rival. Tim & Patrick ask: Why put profanity in the translation that’s not there in the original? https://t.co/wjyl2liXGQ

DECONSTRUCTING COMICS: This week an interview with comics creator Michael Cohen, co-host of the @unpackpeanuts podcast and recognized for working on the first comic book price guide in 1965! https://t.co/8JIJUVNYsS #peanuts #comicspriceguide

DECONSTRUCTING COMICS: Part two of our discussion of "#FantasticFour" (2005). What does #DrDoom want? Why did this film spend ten years in development?? https://t.co/0M8ukMzigX #Marvel

TO THE BATPOLES: We’re back for a look at the first two draft scripts for The Joker Trumps an Ace/Batman Sets the Pace. As usual, scripts bring to light connections that the filmed episode didn’t quite make, and much more. https://t.co/pptBltA0ZR #batman66

Full #MANGA Alchemists: Should Shin tell someone what's causing the mMurders? Hitoshi Iwaaki begins to discuss the difference - or lack thereof - between parasytes and humans eating meat in chapter 3 of “Parasyte”. Tim & Patrick take another bite. https://t.co/tAW4jjAtmW

CRITIQUING COMICS: The Star Tide Shores is an action space adventure comic that isn't afraid to get a little deeper emotionally than, say, Star Wars. Tim and Adam enjoyed reading the first volume and are here to give you the scoop. https://t.co/sltrLMPSL1

DECONSTRUCTING COMICS: We continue our "#FantasticFour on Film" series with part one of a two-parter on the 2005 FF movie! Crossing over with Comic Book Movie Oblivion https://t.co/S8bwdwEC7E
