Link to the Show / Show Notes
In this episode we start with some news and reviews, talking
over some recent comics and the end of one of our favourite shows, BattleStar
Galactica. It's a spoiler free review as I hadn't seen it at the time.
Our main feature is an interview with Chris Staros the
Publisher of Top Shelf Productions, and until recently the President of the
Comic Book Legal Defence Fund. We talk about some of the great graphic novels
Top Shelf have put out in the past, what he has coming up this year including
the third graphic novel in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series -
Century, his convention schedule, working for the CBLDF, and working with Alan
Moore and Melinda Gebbie on Lost Girls.
Finally, one episode late, we finish off with our first Book
Club selection - The Winter King. Scott and Steve talk in depth about the
story, the characters, the mythology and history of the book and how the author
Bernard Cornwell weaves fact and fiction together. We have feedback from
members of our forum and at the end of our discussion an audio review from
Heath Holland, a friend and co-host of Geek Brunch. We also announce what our
next selection will be for the Book Club.
This episode is a big one, but we'll be back next week as
usual with another one.
