This week the ACP crew get a visit from Phoenix Towers, as Tom Fickling, one of the minds behind the weekly kids comic The Phoenix, drops in to talk about all things comics! They talk about the adventures of getting a comic to press and into the hands of comic loving children on a weekly basis, the amazing line up of talent who create strips for the book, the look of the Phoenix offices and so much more! There's also some great comic and book recommendations, discussion on disappointing comic book covers, bum jokes and more!

Let us know what you think!

How important is the design and visual look of you characters? In a word... VERY. The ACP gang take some time to discuss the importance of character design, the iconic looks, their favourite takes on classic characters and get some opinions from listeners too. Its part chat, part rant and they only skim the tip of the iceberg. There's also some more brilliant indie comics you need to check out, an update on #Millarwatch turns into a chat all about Mark Millar's work, everyone gives their jewels a name and everyone gets confused by the timey wimpy nature of the recording. PLUS Dan gives some important comixology advice, Vince actually reveals some knowledge about Superman and Tony does another impression of one of his co-hosts.

Mentioned in this episode are: Signal, Paul Duffield, Nemesis, Mark Millar, Steve McNiven, Treves: A Restless Night, Tom Ward, Luke Parker, Michael Phoenix, Gods of Men Kickstarter, Valiant, Wrath of the Eternal Warrior, 100 Times, The Damned, Cullen Bunn, Brian Hurtt
