Derek and I recently recorded the July edition of The Comics Alternative Webcomics show where we reviewed three titles from Study Group Comics: The Secret Voice by Zach Soto, Titan by François Vigneault, and Black is the Color by Julia Gfrörer, three very different webcomics, yet all worth your time.

If we weren’t before, we’re definitely in full comics and graphic novel mode here at the blog. Recently, Derek and I recorded our June Webcomics episode, where we discussed Hans Rickheit’s Ectopiary, Jen Lee’s Thunderpaw, and several horror short stories from Split Lip. I hope you’ll check out our discussion of these titles, then check out the webcomics themselves.
The May Webcomics Show
This month over at The Comics Alternative Podcast, Derek and I discuss three webcomics, two ongoing and one completed.
First we have The Fox Sister by Christina Strain and Jayd Aït-Kaci, a strange tale set in South Korea during the 1960s, followed by Ben Fleuter’s Derelict, a post-apocalpytic story with many intriguing points, and finally a completed webcomic by Jeff VanderMeer and Eric Orchard called The Situation.
We’re always looking for more webcomics to discuss on the show, so whether you know of a good ongoing or finished webcomic, please let us know. Hope you enjoy the podcast!

News from The Comics Alternative Podcast
Yesterday Derek and I recorded a podcast that is now up at The Comics Alternative Podcast covering the new graphic novel Vapor by Max (from Fantagraphics), as well as two new titles, Feathers #1, an all-ages title by Jorge Corona (Boom! Studios), and The Dying and the Dead #1, a 60-page issue with writing by Jonathan Hickman, art by Ryan Bodenheim, and colors by Michael Garland (Image). If you’re a comics fan, all three of these titles – while all very different – are definitely worth your consideration. We hope you’ll give us a listen, then join in the discussion on our forum.
Also our interview with Ian Edginton (The Kingdom of the Wicked) is up now.
