Description

This week Andy and Derek look through the August Previews catalog. As they do at the beginning of every month, they go through the most recent solicits for upcoming titles and share their "wish lists," highlighting comics that they plan to read, that are potentially significant, and that are notable enough to earn a few moments of the guys' attention. This is also the three-year anniversary of The Comics Alternative, and the Two Guys with PhDs Talking about Comics celebrate by putting on party hats and reading some of the appreciative listener mail they've been receiving. And then after sharing the love, they get into the nitty-gritty of this week's show: combing through the Previews catalog. As listeners will discover, this is yet another long Previews episode, with the guys covering a lot of territory in over two hours of discussion. (This is what happens when the offerings for in the catalog are plentiful and engaging.) But they think that the time is well spent, and in this episode you're sure to be introduced to a variety of exciting upcoming titles.

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.)

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.
