Description

It's the first of the month, so it's time to look at the latest Previews catalog! What's more, this is Sterg's very first Previewsshow, and Derek honors this occasion with much fanfare. As listeners have come to expect from the monthly Previews shows, this episode goes long. In fact, it goes extra long, and in many ways this becomes a trial by fire for Sterg as a new cohost. But he rises to the occasion, providing solid and tireless recommendations of upcoming titles. For October, the Two Guys with PhDs discuss a variety of  publishers and titles such as: Image Comics - Die #1, Prodigy#1, Hardcore#1, and Street Angel Pentathlon Dark Horse Comics - LaGuardia#1, Black Hammer: Cthu-Louise#1, Mind MGMT Omnibus, Vol. 1, War Bears, EC Archives: Piracy, and Berserk: Deluxe Edition, Vol. 1 DC Comics/Vertigo - Goddess Mode #1, and Detective Comics before Batman IDW Publishing - Rocketeer Reborn#1, Belzebubs, and Ye Dynamite Entertainment - Mars Attacks#3 BOOM!

Titles in the series (100)

A weekly podcast focusing on the world of alternative, independent, and primarily non-superhero comics. (There's nothing wrong with superhero comics. We just want to do something different.) New podcast episodes become available every Wednesday and include reviews of graphic novels and current ongoing series, discussions of upcoming comics, examinations of collected editions, in-depth analyses of a variety of comics texts, and spotlights on various creators and publishers. The Comics Alternative also produces "special feature" programs, such as shows specifically dedicated to creator interviews, webcomics, on-location events, and special non-weekly themes and topics.
