077 - HIGHLIGHTS OF 2016 SHOW!

Another year of comics is in the bag, and this time its the first whole year for the Awesome Pod. With that in mind, VInce, Dan and Tony sit down to discuss some of their highlights of the year. They talk about great series, publishers, creators and conventions from 2016 and then talk about what they want to see in 2017. It gets silly, serious and everything in between.

066 - PROG 2000, INDIE SUPERHEROES AND MORE!

This week Vince, Dan and Tony let loose and talk comics and more. The two main topics of conversation this year are the epic event that was the release of 2000AD issue 2000 and a discussion on Dan Butcher's article '5 things I don't want to see in YOUR indie superhero comics'. It's a fun fuelled discussion that digresses in the best kind of ways. There's talk about essential reading for writers, 80s movies, hints of plans to come for the show and plenty of silly NSFW humour (stay tuned for some revealing out takes too). Don't miss it!
