Description

It's the first of the month, and that must mean that it's time once again to look at the latest Previews catalog. For the month of March, Gene and Derek step up to the plate to take a swing at the many solicitations, highlighting what they consider the most notable upcoming titles. In fact, there's so much to choose from, that this month's Previews episode is an extra-long show...running for almost three hours! Are the Two Guys up to the challenge? Do they heroically take on an unwieldy  amount of material, or do they unnecessarily extend what could have been covered in a more manageable hour and a half? Listen to the episode, and you decide. And while doing so, you'll discover many new comic books and graphic novels such as those published by: Dark Horse Comics - Ether: The Copper Golems #1, Dork, Blackwood #1, and Brooklyn Blood DC Comics - Batman by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale Omnibus and The Ruff and Reddy Show IDW Publishing/Top Shelf - Strong Female Protagonist Vol. 2, Gumballs, Lost Girls: Expanded Edition, Come Again, and The Silence of Malka Image Comics - Barrier: Collectors Edition #1-#5, Death or Glory #1, Flavor #1, Where We Live: Las Vegas Shooting Benefit Anthology, It Will All Hurt, Stray Bullets: Sunshine and Roses Vol. 1, and Street Angel Goes to Juvie Aftershock Comics - A Walk through Hell #1 Adhouse - Young Frances Alternative Comics - True Stories #3 Arcade Publishing - James Joyce: Portrait as a Dubliner: A Graphic Biography Black Mask Studios - Dismantlers #1 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.
